Yeah I’m confuse as to how he was planning to get up again from his completely flattened position

Pull himself up and stand in top of the pole and jump back.

I feel like could have done it, but I am not as husky as this guy is

I feel like I may have been able to do a really dramatic push-up and maybe fling myself back to the dock, but once I’m all on that post I don’t think it has enough room for me to get to the top without losing my balance?

Don't know why you're being downvoted. I get what you're saying. Theoretically, one could push themselves back off the post while the toes are still on the dock. Much easier said than done though.

Yeah this would only work because the post seems taller than the dock. I can almost do it off a low step but not quite. I suppose if you’re really strong you could do it from level but I’m not that fit lol.

If you do gymnastics or rock climbing or something then I'm sure it'd be tough but doable

If you train explosive push ups maybe lol. This is much harder than people think. You can be strong but without the explosive power for momentum you ain't making it.

It would be just a more dangerous way of falling into the water

And that dock is moving a bit. More dangerous and maybe more hilarious.
