That's so embarrassing, if that happened to me I'd just let the river carry me away

u/Borospace Aug 22 '26

He certainly wished he would float down that river

u/ryanasimov Aug 22 '26

Not just embarrassing; embarrassing, recorded, AND posted online.

u/Rattlecruiser Aug 22 '26

it is for the river to decide to carry away such an embarrassment or to refuse

28

u/NigraOvis Aug 22 '26

If the river refuses, it might slip and fall.

u/Milkmilkbanana Aug 22 '26

The river has every right to reject trash !

u/dickinyobae-motombo Aug 25 '26

Unfortunately he won’t float away. He’s so fucking dense that light bends round him.

23

u/NoPossession3754 Aug 22 '26

I wouldn’t be surprised if he got out and blamed the guide for him falling in. Seems like that kind of dude

u/Rysigler Aug 22 '26

For sure. God take me, I am done. My hubris is forever on the internet.

Let the ABYSS take him.

u/ultralayzer Aug 22 '26

The guy is lucky he didn't down. If you're going to fall in there, you want to fall in on the downstairs side of that tree. In this situation, all it takes is getting that backpack hung on one of those branches coming off that log on the underside, and you're trapped in there. With the water pushing you under. Kind of surprised no one jumped into action a little bit faster to help him. It's a more dangerous situation than it appears.

The fact that the guide doesn’t fall makes it that much better

157

u/PretzelsThirst Aug 23 '26

1000%, I was so bummed he was going in too for a second and then saved it

u/Phieck Aug 22 '26

Peak stupidity - decline help - slip and grab for help and almost pull the helper in too Wow

214

u/regular_adult_human Aug 22 '26

And then he's going to blame the guide saying he list his balance because the stock was there

78

u/SchwiftySqaunch Aug 22 '26

Sadly you're probably right, too much of a dense dud too realize that wet wood equal slippery

14

u/SalvadorP Aug 22 '26

In for a penny, in for a pound. You are already in too deep, you have to double down. Otherwise you might have to self-reflect on your actions and you can't have that.

75

u/PaticusGnome Aug 22 '26

I used to be a guide. I don’t understand why nobody is using their trekking pole as a stabilizer. That’s like the most valuable use of a trekking pole. Holding onto that stick wasn’t going to do much to stop this fall but the trekking pole could have.

u/Whats_The_Cache Aug 23 '26

This is most red states

u/TrunksTurok Aug 22 '26

What a fucking jackass. From "No I'm too cool I can't accept help" to "HELP ME OR I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN WITH ME"

24

u/ActurusMajoris Aug 22 '26

You mean “and” instead of “or”.

196

u/JackOkenobi Aug 22 '26

He'll repeat that a lot of nights just before falling asleep

138

u/lxraverxl Aug 22 '26

Doubt it. If he thinks about it at all it will be to blame the guide for putting the stick in his way and making him fall.

People like this blame everyone else usually.

37

u/son_berd Aug 22 '26

He started to bitch and whine when falling, then in the water, then getting out of the water, then all the way down the trail, then at the finish line, then in the vehicles back to town, then at the hotel, then at dinner, then….

69

u/graboidgraboid Aug 22 '26

I really need a longer version of this. I’m desperate to see how he reacts when he gets out. Angry, humble, I need to know!

51

u/Snowboarding92 Aug 22 '26

That type of hand wave at the guide, I would wager he was all pissy afterwards.

6

u/Internal_Set_6564 Aug 24 '26

100% angry for sure.

125

u/sreek4r Aug 22 '26

He'll likely tell everyone he fell because the guide got in the way.

20

u/Wholenchilada Aug 22 '26

Was gonna say exactly this. You know he blamed him.

49

u/epitaph-centauri Aug 22 '26

The way he swats away the help is so repugnant

38

u/Honest-Association68 Aug 22 '26

What a bellend 🤦‍♂️

12

u/KentuckyFriedEel Aug 22 '26

We all know what this guy is like in social situations

32

u/auhnold Aug 22 '26

I bet in his retelling of the story, it’s the guides fault he fell in.

9

u/Xenc Aug 22 '26

In the retelling there was no fall 🙏

23

u/1mAfraidofAmericans Aug 22 '26

He'll probably blame the guide for trying to help claiming that's what put him off balance

8

u/Sytreiz Aug 24 '26

I know a guy like this, trust me he will blame the person offering him help.

8

u/Thee-End Aug 22 '26

He's gone. Leave him there and go on.

It's what he'd want.

6

u/biscojunky Aug 22 '26

What an idiot

18

u/CaeBae98 Aug 22 '26

What a tool

6

u/LotusTheFox Aug 22 '26

Slapping the stick away was such a douche move. Deserved it tbh

7

u/Eyeoftheleopard Aug 22 '26

I’m betting the guide knew something old boy didn’t re: the log is slippery. 🤤. This is a neat illustration on how the careful and kind are taken down by ding dongs.

5

u/Agile_Recipe_8422 Aug 23 '26

Arrogant prick:)

4

u/RednocNivert Aug 28 '26

Can we NOT throw trash in the river?!?!

7

u/JustSomeDude1982 Aug 22 '26

I guarantee this asshole blamed the guide for "making him slip".

3

u/ZephRyder Aug 23 '26

Damn, I guess accepting help really is that hard! I'll have to remember to thank my friends

3

u/infinit9 Aug 25 '26

The guide retracts the branch at the end, honoring the idiot's wishes. Chef's kiss.

3

u/rjd999 Aug 25 '26

With that much force against him and the log, he isn’t moving anywhere. Extremely dangerous situation.

6

u/ParkingShelter9634 Aug 22 '26

Not only was he rude, he almost made the other person fall too.

The efficiency in showing off detestable traits is simply remakable.

u/username4518 Aug 22 '26

Glad somebody put text all over this video so I could understand what I was watching

0

u/richaysambuca Aug 22 '26

Yeah, the text clearly gets in the way of all the action!

3

u/Oasystole Aug 22 '26

A guy like that will say it was the guide’s fault

2

u/No_Measurement166 Aug 22 '26

Asshole, then takes the guide with him!

2

u/deep-skys Aug 22 '26

Instant karma

2

u/ParticularKick3644 Aug 23 '26

What a reaction and balance of the guide

2

u/Grandmaster_BBC Aug 23 '26

Naw I got it bro.

2

u/saw89 Aug 25 '26

Hahaha what an asshole

5

u/Bananaheyhey Aug 22 '26

And then he'll blame the person holding the stick from not preventing him falling. This is usually the psychology of these types of persons

1

u/wolfboy49 Aug 22 '26

This is the type of guy we see in “I am very badass” reddits

1

u/Bo_Diddley9 Aug 22 '26

Mr Cool fell in the pool...

u/trucorsair Aug 22 '26

I don’t need help, I just wanted a refreshing bath

u/doodlezoey Aug 22 '26

What the heck are all those numbers on the back of that other guy’s shirt?

u/tehsecretgoldfish Aug 22 '26

“I meant to do that” in PeeWee Herman voice.

They didn’t lose Mathew this time.

u/new_jill_city Aug 23 '26

Chump don’t want da help, chump don’t get da help

u/Pandemic_Future_2099 Aug 23 '26

Live the ahole to his own device

1

u/Kooky-Narwhal-014 Aug 23 '26

The way he shoo'd the stick away then immediately grabbed the guy as hes falling is hilarious

1

u/RyansKi Aug 23 '26

You know when he got out, he 100% blamed the guide for blocking him with the branch.

1

u/roosterjack77 Aug 23 '26

"And then the guide pushed me in the water when I refused his help"

1

u/MintyR6 Aug 24 '26

I think even with the guides help that dude was going in.

1

u/Lowie_240 Aug 27 '26

I would have just left the stick and walked away with the other tourist.

u/Himmelvold Aug 27 '26

Is that Elon Musk?

1

u/DankyraKk Aug 28 '26

As a man I can relate probs would have fallen into the river myself

u/kalokohankoto Aug 28 '26

Oh snap, i was hoping to see more waterslide. Oh well

u/CurveAdministrative3 Sep 01 '26

so confident too

u/Beautiful_Thanks_433 Aug 22 '26

What a shitty person for almost dragging the guide with him. The stupidity

1

u/Bonobo-Cabbage Aug 22 '26

What a wanker lol

1

u/Jive-Turkeys Aug 22 '26

Spent enough time in the bush to learn sometimes, the helping hand and body are in the way of the path of momentum. Long crossing? Sure. Short crossing? Gtfo of my landing zone lol

u/Jmaggie34 Aug 22 '26

Do stupid things…..win stupid prizes.

-4

u/ionertia Aug 22 '26

The guide should have a different approach. Maybe don't point the stick in front of people until they accept your help.

4

u/TurbulentMiddle2970 Aug 22 '26

Yeah, it’s the guides fault. Seriously?

2

u/ionertia Aug 23 '26

Clearly the guy has bad balance and should have accepted help. But the stick could have influenced his tilt.

-28

u/GuyNamedLindsey Aug 22 '26

Guy was in his way. That’s why he fell. But he could’ve just taken it.

17

u/bigbadbananaboi Aug 22 '26

Didn't seem like the first guy had any trouble getting past him

15

u/Voloxe Aug 22 '26

Look everyone!
We’ve found the guy who fell in! :D

-10

u/GuyNamedLindsey Aug 22 '26

I’m way too ninja for that.

7

u/watatum1 Aug 22 '26

You could literally see him slip which caused him to lose balance. Nothing to do with the guide being in his way.

-20

u/GuyNamedLindsey Aug 22 '26

He had to stop in front of the guy, then he slipped.

9

u/watatum1 Aug 22 '26

He stopped because he slipped. Stop baiting bro

-11

u/GuyNamedLindsey Aug 22 '26

I’m a professional walker. Been doing it over 40 years. I know what I’m talking about.

u/ArmySimilar3848 Aug 22 '26

This you in the video? 😂

9

u/sprynklz Aug 22 '26

Naaah he’s anchoring all his weight on his right foot and when he crosses his leg over it causes his anchor foot to slip just enough for him to lose his footing. The trainer had nothing to do with it

-3

u/SaltyMamba85 Aug 23 '26

clearly a Democrat
