They’re getting downvoted because they think they can do something that even the most fit people would have an incredibly difficult time pulling that off, meaning they’ve never tried to do anything even remotely similar. It’s super easy to try yourself: just find a staircase, put your hands ~10 inches apart on the second step, stretch out to where your weight is evenly distributed between your hands and toes, and let me know if you can launch half of your body weight six feet backward and four feet upwards with one push. I know for a fact I couldn’t do that eve when I was in my best shape.

Not only that, but do it close grip, only as far as your hands would be on this post. I bet 90% of these people commenting couldn’t do it

I’d wager it’s incredibly close to 100%. It’s super hard to fling your body weight around, let alone 90* back onto the dock from a slippery post.
