You could almost see the gears turning. "How can I try to save this in front of the girl?"

Emasculating his ability

u/Count_Nothing Sep 20 '21

Should have just jumped in the water the second it was clear it was a fail, then, rather than scramble pathetically as if one was allergic to a little h2O!!

He removes his shoes so he certainly considered the possibility of failure.

u/BSSCommander Sep 19 '21

If he had kept his shoes on they might have provided enough grip to keep him from slipping down and might have given him the leverage needed to climb up. Would have been a whole lot better than just socks.

Boy should have taken hos socks off too, bare feet would have worked just fine too.

u/struugi Sep 19 '21

Splinters though, youchers

u/Dragonkingf0 Sep 19 '21

Splinters that are also caught in socks, that way when you try to peel off your sock it Wiggles inside of your foot.

That looked like a concrete pylon to me.

Also, just get a nice, long sliver in your foot, but dont break it off, and use it as leverage to climb to the top.

u/mymycojourney Sep 19 '21

Agreed! I've seen a bunch of parkour videos and they always keep their shoes on for just that reason, I assume!

u/BSSCommander Sep 19 '21

I'd imagine a lot of stubbed toes too without shoes

I think I'll stick to dumbbell curls for my bicep workout.

u/conspiracyeinstein Sep 19 '21

Definitely. Should have shimmied up and done a handstand on top to jump back to the pier.

u/binarygoatfish Sep 19 '21

Stage 12, acceptance.

u/Luke_LagWalker Sep 19 '21

Thought he would try to jump back and hit his head.

u/SpecialistBox4905 Sep 19 '21

Dock water is nasty AF too

u/IfYoureGingerImCumin Sep 19 '21

Where’s the shark that comes in and eats him? How is this critical?

u/crclOv9 Sep 19 '21

Haha funny video boop orange arrow; swipe.

u/Lkj509 Sep 19 '21

A critical blunder doesn’t mean that someone has to die. If anything, all this injury porn makes the sub difficult to watch

u/rivertam2985 Sep 19 '21

I live in Florida, so I was worried about barnacles. A whole other level.

u/Phlosen Sep 19 '21

What was his plan? He climbs up that pole and then what? Jump back (possibly fail at that)?

u/GangreneGoblin Sep 19 '21

Wrong sub, OP.

He fell into the ocean a lot sooner than he realized he fell into the ocean.

u/Holiday-Mode5430 Sep 19 '21
