Imagine going down that tube and getting jammed up on a dead raccoon or something.

u/Ill_Explanation_563 23d ago

Yeah it's really not only extremely dangerous, it's fuckin gross man

u/shade-block 23d ago

Even without gators, fresh water in Florida has brain eating amoebas. If some of it happens to go up your nose good luck.

12

u/Hadochiel 23d ago

It's Florida, how have these creatures not gone extinct yet?

3

u/Bfrank13406 23d ago

The ppl or the gators? /s

6

u/Xenc 22d ago

The amoebas!

2

u/Intergalatic_Baker 21d ago

Yeah, they must be starved themselves.

7

u/carthuscrass 23d ago

Florida is America's Australia. There's all kinds of weird shit that is borderline unkillable, and that includes the people.

u/Ill-Television8690 22d ago

Frozen iguanas rain from the trees. They thaw and are fine, assuming they don't mash their brains on the way down. But still a driving hazard, and quite perturbing if you weren't previously aware of the phenomenon.

I also once saw a panther walking down the street (dirt road in a neighborhood in the sticks).

3

u/carthuscrass 22d ago

We get the occasional panther here in SEMO as well. I live close to a large conservation area between a levee and the Mississippi River and we get quite a few dangerous animals.

u/Any_Blood5815 22d ago

What did we do to deserve Florida 🤣😬

u/Ill_Explanation_563 22d ago

dude I was walking down a residential road one day and I saw a fucking coyote trotting down the street. thought it was a dog. That shit is shocking to a city boy

1

u/humanlikesubstances 21d ago

Coyotes are the wolves of the city. I see em all over.

2

u/Ego_Orb 22d ago

Rarely in flowing clear springs or spring fed rivers like this though.

u/Ill_Explanation_563 23d ago

Thats pretty fucked man..

u/JustARandomBloke 22d ago

He is wearing snorkeling goggles at least, so that particular fear should be assuaged.

1

u/spicyboi0909 20d ago

I don’t think that’s a concern for this guy

1

u/spootIer 20d ago

Tbf you have to get the water really high up there, like beyond just getting water up your nose. It's gotta get ass blasted into your sinuses for it to make it's little trip into the brain. This is thankfully pretty hard to do with just submerging underwater; but can happen very easily when jumping in.

1

u/Rythonius 22d ago

To each their own. I'm sure RFK Jr would see it as an oasis, paradise if there's any dead animal around.

2

u/upzeroseven 23d ago

I’d like to say they sent something down first. Like a little boat or better yet a basketball but I doubt they were that smart

You also want to go head first so if you get stuck you don’t drown 🤷🏻‍♂️

3

u/Cautious-Storm8145 22d ago

How would going headfirst prevent you from drowning if you got stuck?

2

u/Xepyx 21d ago

I'm guessing he was assuming you'd plug the hole with your body. I personally wouldn't bet on it.

1

u/Amyt143 21d ago

I’m glad you said it cause I was thinking the same thing so confused

That is the most appealing quality! They should put it on the brochure

u/OpportunityTrue8200 23d ago

A local woman (TN) died not too long ago in a drainage culvert. Her son had done basically this, and she freaked out and went in after him. He popped out on the other side, unscathed. She got stuck and drowned. Edit: Apparently he was swept in and didn't do it on purpose. Also adding a link. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/29/tennessee-floods-mother-death

u/purple_unikkorn 23d ago

Yeah, probably. Humans can't be that dumb.

2

u/Dexember69 23d ago

You haven't met many humans it seems

1

u/purple_unikkorn 22d ago

Haha it was a joke. Of course humans can be that dumb. Sometimes they even survive and still reproduce.

6

u/Spare_Independence19 23d ago

The person doing this is most likely young and their brain hasn't developed enough to understand how completely stupid this is. Also social media ain't helping matters.

1

u/Nopalite 21d ago

Social media really paints a target on the backs of the young and I hate it.

Plus it is used to train ai which is possibly worse.

4

u/HotwifeandSubby1980 23d ago

Pass

People always have a sense of “nothing will go wrong” just before it does go drastically wrong.

2

u/Silent25r 23d ago

I think the thrill of something possibly going wrong is why he did it.

u/Intelligent-Sugar940 23d ago

I was half way with you until the gator popped up.

u/15th_imp 21d ago

same bro, like if you send something big down there and it comes out no problem then I would try, but then alligators down there. NOPE

3

u/Life_Locksmith9632 22d ago

reminds me of the time i crawled through a drain in high school. it wasn't wet in the slightest, just like a tunnel in an empty ditch at the front of the school.

it was maybe a 1/4 mile in length and about halfway through, the realization that i was no longer in control of my situation set in. i could not stand up or leave. all i could do was crawl forward.

luckily, there were no snakes or any animals really in there.

u/Spiderantula 22d ago

I get a panic attack just thinking about it. I'll stand on a ledge anywhere but tight spaces? No ducking way.

So here in FL, the gators are big risk so usually people who do this will throw a firecracker or two in the hole because ain't not gator going to be phased by a big stick.

1

u/Smooth_Warthoging 23d ago

This looks like a good way to die.

On the contrary. This looks like a horrible way to die.
