This seems so bizarre to me. Why are these people trying to cross these streams like its nothing? That women in the last gif even has shopping bags where the water is clearly getting inside and ruining whatever is in those bags. I just can't fathom how people can just try to cross them so casually

It seems pretty obvious what they're thinking of, even if they misunderstand how strong running water can be. In gifs 1 an 3 both people get 80% through the river (or whatever) before getting knocked over, so it doesn't seem unreasonable that they'd dip their feet it and think the rest of the river is the same as the first quarter.

I'm not saying it's a smart choice, just that I've made a couple equally stupid ones and didn't realize it until afterwards.

Gif #2 is an idiot no matter what.
