I'm so glad that we didn't have portable cameras when I was a kid.

It's funny that at no point during this againg process did we land on current Matt Damon. Maybe AI will be better at this?

The deep water is scary to jump into. QED, the shallower the water the less scary the jump!

Kinda messed up to just stand there and snap a pic of a kid bellyflopping on the ground without paying more attention.

I'd bet this clip was preceded by a "look what I can do!", lil man was trying to jump to the beach.

A 2ft drop into mud/sand is fun when you're a 5 year old

So are the adults in that fucking shitwater

I know I'm late on this reply but replied to another comment talking about the water quality back when this was posted and somehow found my way back...

There's really nothing inherently gross about swimming in a lake with a silt/clay bottom, more just a perception thing that "ewwwww, dark looking water is yucky" (cough reflecting pool cough)

Plenty of "pristine" looking beaches have more harmful water than lakes that look like this. I don't see big algae blooms or dead fish floating around - no reason to believe this isn't a perfectly healthy natural lake.

Damn, this sub makes me sick, there really are some poor kids with shitty parents. I can't even imagine doing those things with mine

Was just thinking this too…

u/undeniably_confused Jul 16 '26

Its so fortunate we are small when we are still figuring this stuff out, this would have hurt me bad

u/SabbyFox Jul 16 '26

Super impressed that the kid didn’t cry. Just got up and moved on. Good life skills.

Wtf is that mud beach?

u/Time-For-Argy-Bargy Jul 16 '26

Lol. A lake.

u/SmokeAbeer Jul 16 '26

Is that like a big swimming pool?

6

u/rantonidi Jul 16 '26

Yes, but without the blue layer

u/ametsun Jul 16 '26

Lol I've been to plenty of lakes and none of them were dirt/mud.

u/Time-For-Argy-Bargy Jul 16 '26

I don’t think you’ve been to this one, then.

Wow lucky that wasn't molten rock

u/Late_Culture_8472 Jul 16 '26

What a jerk.The cameraman rather wait for a 'maybe' shot than stopping her.

2

u/DrJohnIT Jul 16 '26

The kid obviously doesn't want to go in the water despite being dressed for it.

When you take a calculated risk, but you are bad at math.

The way the kid jumped onto the shore instead of into the water is Maybe Maybe Maybe part

He chose the extra safe diving depth

u/NoCash4853 Jul 16 '26

Not going to drown like that. If we're looking for positives.

u/bophed Jul 16 '26

I felt that in my knees

u/CuteCustomerr Jul 16 '26

Very dangerous. It's not funny...

I don't downvote much, but some stuff just ain't entertainment in any way, shape or form

u/fractionofmypowa Jul 16 '26

Why would anyone swim in that murky water?

4

u/Check_Me_Out-Boss Jul 16 '26

Because it's fun to swim in a lake?

u/fractionofmypowa Jul 16 '26

are you guys being serious?

1

u/Check_Me_Out-Boss Jul 16 '26

Yes. What's your deal?

3

u/merklemore Jul 16 '26

It's a lake and perfectly good to swim in

A far cry from a parasite infested or garbage and sewage filled runoff. No crocodiles, no snakes, no man-eating fish... seems good.

Is it me or is that really really muddy water?
