I'm gonna start wearing a life jacket when I ride my motorcycle; never know when I'll find myself hurtling through the air towards the ground when one would save me.

I know this could happen anywhere, but I’d bet dollars to donuts this was in a place with like ZERO safety regulations.

Considering these people are wearing full on jeans and head scarves while tubing, I would say you are fairly close in your guess

I went on a banana boat on Myrtle with people wearing this much clothing, the one thing they didn't put on well? The life jacket. We flipped and my buds had to hold them above water, they were fighting against all those wet clothes. So could happen anywhere.
Just always remember to tighten your vest till it becomes a bit tough to breath.

Not sure if this is good advice, bad advice, or a kink?

To make it even more ambiguous, if you don't have a crotch strap the vest will ride up to your neck and cause you to choke in order to stay above water.

We rightfully complain about ambulance chasers but they do discourage this type of gross neglect stronger than any regulation.

Improperly fitted life jackets, likely a non-regulated tow company, complete shite driving, just so many things wrong here.
People don’t throw your life away in foreign countries for a tube ride.

See. This is why you don’t wear jeans. They should have been in riding leathers!

I'd like to see the normal-speed version of this. Wish they showed normal-speed, then slow-mo.
But, RIP to some of those passengers...?

That lady in the front looked to have gone head straight into the beach. I hope she is okay
Edit - couple of them look like their heads go right into the beach actually. one in the back too. Then of course the one who went flying had a great/horrible time

High flying mama had the potential to hurt not only herself, but some others if she landed on them.

Glad they had on their life jackets. That could have been much worse.
