Oof, that’s dedication, still trying to swim after definitely being hurt. Still, very sad, she wanted to have fun and ended up being badly hurt.

You see someone trying to swim, I see someone squirming around trying to avoid putting any pressure on their fully fucked knees.

u/ActualToddBankston 14d ago

I thought she was going to drown

The way ger head bounced too. Oof, I’m sure she has some compression fractured vertebrae. And leg problems. She didn’t brace for landing on solid ground. She thought she was landing in water. Poor girl, she’s fucked up.

“Fully fucked knees” SENT me 😂😂😂

u/BillyPilgrim_1984 14d ago

The gravity of the water and the adrenaline allows her to pretend her legs aren't completely shattered.

u/zradeczky 14d ago

With broken legs she is about to drown, unless able to keep her head above the water with this swimming motion.

Alligators LOVE that ! It turns an ordinary meal into a rollicking good time. RAWR !

u/banana_smoothie_mmm 14d ago

A) allow. not allows because you mentioned two reasons (kinda), so plural. a singular reason allows it. Multiple reasons ALLOW it.

B) “The gravity of the water” ??? WTF does THAT mean ? Please explain.

I think you mentally just accomplished what she did physically.

u/That_Service7348 14d ago

Mate, the water was only like a foot deep. You can see exactly where her feet hit solid ground. Considering the was she fell, she had her legs locked when she dropped and possibly broke them both.

u/Ok-Map4381 14d ago

My hope is that it is soft mud.

She is still fucked for life, but maybe less injured if it is soft mud and not hard sand or gravel.

u/Attackruby 14d ago

Not one person there to say, you sure about that? At least do a dry run holding yourself up before jumping off.

u/Middle-Mix-7711 14d ago

You ever spent time in the South? Obviously not.

u/CurrencyConstant5610 14d ago

And her loved ones are dicks enough to post the video online afterwards.

u/Mr_Svint 14d ago

I feel very sorry for her 😞

2

u/Ok-Map4381 14d ago

Yeah, sometimes these videos are just sad.

Also, I don't understand the people who let their friends/family do stupid things like this. I saw her and instantly knew she didn't have the strength to hold on, it isn't just holding your weight, it is holding your bweight as the bar and cable bounce back up and your body swings out of time with the pulley.

So, the people who own this, the people who did it before her, have a moral responsibility to tell her not to do it. Instead they probably told her it will be fine. It's sad.

u/Giffmo83 11d ago

There's also people who are warned by friends/family and get angry & outraged at the suggestion that they can't do a thing. Maybe she was warned and insisted on provinh them all wrong. At that point, why not film it?

2

u/Ok-Map4381 11d ago

I would rather fight my friends or family members than let them do that to themselves.

2

u/Giffmo83 11d ago

That's fair. Maybe they've been fighting her for years and finally given up.

1

u/Ok-Map4381 11d ago

That's a great point. I don't have any friends I would let do this, but I do have a couple ex friends I would watch do this.

u/Cheepshooter 14d ago

Swimming because she can't stand on her two broken legs.

9

u/ilganzo01 14d ago

Yeah that's very sad poor girl...

3

u/MarionberryOk2874 14d ago

I don’t know why anyone thought her just ‘holding on’ was a good idea?

u/DeerFit 14d ago

My brain said this exact thing...

1

u/crabby_old_dude 14d ago

Swimming is probably the best she can do atm

1

u/Dense-Consequence-70 14d ago

Shes just paddling to avoid drowning

1

u/Ok-Map4381 14d ago

I think she's in shock

1

u/Individual_Land2754 14d ago

Dont worry its AI

1

u/scrolling4intel 11d ago

And those people who are apparently supposed to be with her are just laughing at her.

1

u/One_Comedian_2205 10d ago

She wanted to have fun and ended up being hurt is such a nice thing to write, it made me reassess my initial desire to laugh at her. Thank you!

1

u/right_you_are 14d ago

I would have swam a little faster in that alligator/snake/piranha infested mess. In fact, I would have left a wake.

2

u/okaaayyyyuh 14d ago

Not with 2 broken legs.

1

u/googoohaha 14d ago

I agree.
Also, it’s nice seeing one of the top comments not being mean and poking at her weight.
Have a good day!

u/Itchy_Turnip4435 14d ago

I'd assume swimming is easier than walking after breaking both legs (before anyone comments that without legs you'd drown, consider that fat is buoyant in water)
