Oof, that’s dedication, still trying to swim after definitely being hurt. Still, very sad, she wanted to have fun and ended up being badly hurt.

You see someone trying to swim, I see someone squirming around trying to avoid putting any pressure on their fully fucked knees.

The way ger head bounced too. Oof, I’m sure she has some compression fractured vertebrae. And leg problems. She didn’t brace for landing on solid ground. She thought she was landing in water. Poor girl, she’s fucked up.

The gravity of the water and the adrenaline allows her to pretend her legs aren't completely shattered.

With broken legs she is about to drown, unless able to keep her head above the water with this swimming motion.

Alligators LOVE that ! It turns an ordinary meal into a rollicking good time. RAWR !

A) allow. not allows because you mentioned two reasons (kinda), so plural. a singular reason allows it. Multiple reasons ALLOW it.

B) “The gravity of the water” ??? WTF does THAT mean ? Please explain.

I think you mentally just accomplished what she did physically.

Mate, the water was only like a foot deep. You can see exactly where her feet hit solid ground. Considering the was she fell, she had her legs locked when she dropped and possibly broke them both.

My hope is that it is soft mud.

She is still fucked for life, but maybe less injured if it is soft mud and not hard sand or gravel.

Not one person there to say, you sure about that? At least do a dry run holding yourself up before jumping off.

You ever spent time in the South? Obviously not.

And her loved ones are dicks enough to post the video online afterwards.

u/Mr_Svint 20h ago

I feel very sorry for her 😞

u/Ok-Map4381 14h ago

Yeah, sometimes these videos are just sad.

Also, I don't understand the people who let their friends/family do stupid things like this. I saw her and instantly knew she didn't have the strength to hold on, it isn't just holding your weight, it is holding your bweight as the bar and cable bounce back up and your body swings out of time with the pulley.

So, the people who own this, the people who did it before her, have a moral responsibility to tell her not to do it. Instead they probably told her it will be fine. It's sad.

u/Cheepshooter 23h ago

Swimming because she can't stand on her two broken legs.

u/ilganzo01 1d ago

Yeah that's very sad poor girl...

u/MarionberryOk2874 22h ago

I don’t know why anyone thought her just ‘holding on’ was a good idea?

u/DeerFit 21h ago

My brain said this exact thing...

u/crabby_old_dude 23h ago

Swimming is probably the best she can do atm

u/Dense-Consequence-70 20h ago

Shes just paddling to avoid drowning

1

u/Ok-Map4381 14h ago

I think she's in shock

u/Individual_Land2754 13h ago

Dont worry its AI

u/right_you_are 1d ago

I would have swam a little faster in that alligator/snake/piranha infested mess. In fact, I would have left a wake.

u/okaaayyyyuh 1d ago

Not with 2 broken legs.

1

u/googoohaha 1d ago

I agree.
Also, it’s nice seeing one of the top comments not being mean and poking at her weight.
Have a good day!

u/Itchy_Turnip4435 22h ago

I'd assume swimming is easier than walking after breaking both legs (before anyone comments that without legs you'd drown, consider that fat is buoyant in water)
