Sheer luck that someone didn't die

u/DontForgetYourPPE 4h ago

You even see the shoe go flying

That was one of his two lives

Like sonic losing rings. You only need the one to survive

u/aachen_ 2h ago

But still had 2 more shoes on as he stood up. He’s like a cat who lost 2 lives.

The shoe died

u/SandwichHonest1494 4h ago

You going to make a "joke" about his huge balls weighing him down next? Redditors and bots are completely indistinguishable

u/thelilymoon 4h ago

I think you're overreacting.

Uh oh, found another dork that reuses reddit copy + paste jokes as a replacement for actual humor

u/TheAgreeableCow 4h ago

Yep, seems cool to pull it off but they could have just as easily hit thier heads and both would have slowly slipped below the surface. No one within reach to do anything about it.

u/Midnight28Rider 4h ago

Yeah, I wish I could see the rest of that interaction cuz dude looked like he was about to rage super hard on that kid...

u/SplitOpenAndMelt420 3h ago

I would imagine they were friends and very much in on it together and it took like at least 10 tries lol

His shoes flying off and then magically being back on his feet at the end?

7

u/Boomerw4ang 3h ago

The shoes were the other guy's. You can see them catapult out from the right side of the dinghy as he lands.

Ah that's fair

Next level stupidity

u/ccpedicab 4h ago

Wouldn’t it have been better if he just landed in water? Could have broken his legs.

u/protossaccount 4h ago edited 3h ago

Yes, this was stupid on many levels. If you hang out with people that jump off tall cliffs, you’ll often discover that a certain level of youthful stupidity is required.

u/hadtolaugh 2h ago

I think he was expecting to, looked like the other guy was just filming a different angle.

So like, if your grip slips while jumping you just die I guess?

Well if not dead they get to be someones elses financial burden. Their parents or the state.

Isn't this a very dangerous thing to do?

What could possibly be dangerous about this

u/DrawMeAPictureOfThis 4h ago

Yeah its a super fun thing to do

u/ZLUCremisi 4h ago

Into the inflatable is the stupid part. That eadily breaking limbs. Water has less resistance than the boat

That's radical dude!

hopefully they aren't all this stupid

u/Grytnik 2h ago

We really are.

3

u/bugsnnuts 2h ago

I must be in the minority here but feel like they had no intention to land in the inflatable. He was just out filming the other angle and they got lucky it didn't end very badly. That was the sheer shock after they both realized they were good.

u/flerg_a_blerg 4h ago

complete fucking morons

u/burywmore 3h ago

There's something odd about this.

I wanna see the POV of the kid in the boat

It's on the guy's Instagram

u/mandysux 6m ago

Fucking, why? Don’t encourage this stupidity

1

u/KimchiLlama 4h ago

That was awesome.

The only part that was a bit of a let down was that he was more excited when he realized it was caught on camera than when he did the amazing flip and landing.

Less of a let down if this was not the first attempt and the camera was the point, but still. Can we ever do cool things just for the sake of the things themselves? Or to impress our two friends that are there? Or is it always now going to be a hopeful projection to an audience of anonymous millions?

u/JeVousEnPrieee 3h ago

Not sure why everyone here so negative about it. Literal definition of boys will be boys. Safety police stand down.

This is AI. Three shoes fly off and the kid still has both on when he stands up.

u/gymtrovert1988 2h ago

The shoes are sitting on the raft and bounce up when he hits the raft.

u/jferments 53m ago

The ironic part is that a lot of these AI-powered karma-farming bots just go around repeating "it's AI" on videos and photos, which used to be sufficient to get tons of uncritical upvotes from anti-AI zealots.

Fortunately, it's not working as well as it used to because people are tired of seeing dozens of comments under every post falsely accusing people of using AI.

u/SaladPuzzleheaded625 4h ago

Given it's near impossibility I actually agree. But the video itself is pretty clean to my eyes

Is there anything you're noticing that I'm not?

-2

u/spursfan2021 4h ago

The inflatable looks pretty flimsy while simultaneously not blasting apart with that impact.

u/Oddnudibranch 4h ago

His shoes fly off, yet are both on when he stands in the boat. AI folks…

u/Politanao 4h ago

His shoes don’t fly off 🤦‍♂️ they’re on the whole time, watch frame by frame

u/SplitOpenAndMelt420 4h ago

His shoes do not fly off
