  • Nearly drowning over a BODY RECOVERY isn't brave ... it's STUPID!

  • classic foot entrapment right there. The chances of surviving such an incident are almost 0, he was so lucky to be within reach of people when it happend.

  • @soupmech2

    it is not not brave. it is brave and stupid.

  • Haha...0:43...the ol' tire trick!

  • @soupmech2 maybe it was the body of somebody he cared for, or it wasnt sure at that moment if the person was already dead...

  • I can't stop laughing when they threw the tire in the water. LoL!!! Human evolution at its finest. Reminds me of that movie Tremors when the man thinks he's safe in the tire.

  • @soupmech2 A body recover is still saving a person ...its not stupid. Unless you'd want your body to be lost forever?

  • The caption is incorrect (i.e. he wasn't "nearly" sucked under...he was completely submerged multiple times at length...

  • no helmet. no clue how to swim rapids. not very smart
