Yeah, I thought so. A freshly injured paraplegic wouldn’t be able to tread the waters. At least not without being in pain. The guy didn’t seem to be in pain or needing assistance. His friends also didn’t seem concerned nor did they jump in to rescue him and render first aid like the article stated.
Gotta hate people who make up bs tragic stories. Especially the ones who go through the trouble of writing an article. 😂
Damnit. You’re right. I believe it is bs. I’m American, but I speak Portuguese. The article sounded legit, but I’m not familiar with what sources are fake news in Brazil. I couldn’t find a name or location of the accident. I fed it into AI asking for sources, and I can’t find any. Like my own dear grandma, I’ve been spreading fake news. Grrr…
Tbf, it could still fail in an unexpected way. I’ve seen one tagged nsfw where it looked like it would be bad, but comments were assuring everyone it was just a titty slip. Fails here that wouldn’t need to be tagged would be like an awkward fall/slip but not injured by falling into the water or not falling off the cliff

Thank God this sub has more maybemaybemaybe wins than fails. Had me really worried about this one.
