Idiots Swimming In Salthill, Galway During Storm Desmond HD

Great back flip! Lads got talent.

[@kgb1588]

+Martin Maloney Yeah, nice video - lots of fun, even to -just- watch!.. There are sour people, though, making whatever comments... No appreciation for being awesome, hehe. ;)

[@wiba6141]

+Vladimir Nostromov yeah it might be awesome but it isn't sour to point out that these people in doing this are risking the lives of others who may have to rescue them. at least acknowledge that.

[@halo123581]

+Wi Ba You cannot move forward, without taking the risks. If Humanity, had never taken risks, they wouldn't have survived so long.

[@symphonyfarm2009]

I camped on the west coast of ireland in the early 2000's. Got out of bed on a gray cold windy rainy day, to my surprise there was a cue of people headed down to the beach to take a swim. I followed suit, and plunged in! Coming up to the surface I heard a fellow swimmer shout YAH ITS GOOD!...then I knew I was among my people!

[@savedfaves]

Weather is splitting the rocks.

[@Welgeldiguniekalias]

Reminds me of the time I went swimming during a storm in Vias, France. The lifeguard was pretty angy, but I just pointed at the orange flag. Orange, not red. He then raised the red flag, the bastard.

[@savedfaves]

Yeah, but he raised it after you swam 😂 😆

[@9FORDIE9]

Silly risk aside, very impressive to swim against that

[@snaed27]

Crazy buggers , but it must have felt amazing .....only here once Laugh Live Love .

[@Brulluhman]

I love the elements as well. Because I'm a trained swimmer (the sea would have to drag me over 7 miles from the coast, before I would start getting a little bit worried and I know how to solve my way back). Why not invite people to do the same? Awesome!

[@jackmannix2968]

Who’s still watching in 2018?

[@thewordghfhfjggjjfkf]

Those guys are very strong swimmers, the waves from the storm is alot stronger then currents.

[@monikasulik9074]

A bit of a late response but... they are not strong swimmers at all, in fact they can barely swim but through their stupidity, they don't realise that. Lucky to be unharmed and alive

[@cathalmcdonough5247]

@@monikasulik9074 they can swim pretty well if you look at the video. They don’t take too long to be out of the water.

[@monikasulik9074]

@@cathalmcdonough5247 Cathal, appreciate the comment but the speed of getting out of the water doesn't make one a strong swimmer. No strong swimmers would get out in those conditions - I presume you're an open water swimmer and have a fair understanding of a difficulty swimming against a strong current, large waves and strong winds or losing your body heat 20 times faster in the water... these boys were just very very lucky.

[@jochenstacker]

I don't know what's wrong? This is Ireland, this would count as perfect bathing weather. July and August was worse than that this year.

[@Compendyum]

+jochenstacker But they can now swim on the streets now, no need to go so far.

Those two men are ALIVE. Anyone who complains about them is DEAD.

[@linglingz8278]

They’re definitely strong swimmers

[@DD-co1zn]

This is what a heatwave in Ireland looks like.

[@eohanrahan]

Looks like tremendous fun - I might head down there next storm with a wet suit... not to fond of the cold!

[@angelabrown2360]

lol

[@Mometek]

They did make it out okay. I honestly don't know how this is different than skydiving, bungee jumping, or *ahem* surfing on hurricane produced waves - all taking unnecessary risks just for the thrill... But that's just me and I'm a "to each his own" type of person. What I don't get is the negative feedback on these boys and all the positive feedback on other forms of thrill seeking. What's the difference?

[@wiba6141]

+MOMETEK The difference is that if they get swept away to sea then rescue workers have to risk their lives trying to get them back to safety and people have died this way before. Bungee jumping is very safe and so is sky diving. Dude, is it REALLY that difficult to understand where he negative feedback is coming from? I mean it is cool as fuck to watch but it is also very stupid at the same time, it can be both.

[@Mometek]

Wi Ba www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6119a4.htm - According to the CDC website, there has been 2.07 drownings per 100,000 males. adventure.howstuffworks.com/skydiving8.htm - There are roughly 1 fatal accident per 1000 skydiving jumps. Don't know how many skydivers end up in trees or on mountains in need of a dangerous rescue mission from other people. www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/general-statistics/fatalityfacts/state-by-state-overview/2013- 10.3 deaths per 100,000 with Car wrecks in 2013 (to put things into perspective) I honestly don't think either is stupid or smart. But I don't think I'm going to jump out of a plane with a piece of cloth tied to my back or go surf the waves during the next Hurricane on a seal-shaped (read: shark bait) board anytime soon. Considering that there are more swimmers than skydivers, the stats are close enough to make me still think that there really isn't much of a difference in risk, especially if you know what you are doing. I still don't understand why one would be more "stupid" than the other. And finally... I am woman. Not a dude. ;)

[@bambilackner]

I totally agree! Its simple if anything goes wrong when you skydive or bungee jump your basically on your own,"splat".! But this shit here others have no choice but to put their lives on the line. Why should other mothers, fathers, and family's not have they're kids or loved ones make it home all because some idiots wanted to get a good KZbin video!!!

[@kelpnougatcrunch9430]

MOMETEK Bungey jumping is secure and controlled, as is skydiving(if it wasnt safe for educated people the military wouldnt send people doing it) This however is completely unsafe and these children (you act like one you get treated like one) are of course thrill seeking morons. And when you drowned Im supposed to feel bad and pull the "he died doing what he loved" crap.

[@HappyQuailsFarm]

Those towels would not be very dry by that point, but amazing Daredevil's they were indeed and I think they were quite lucky as I didn't expect them to swim against direction of the wind and rain

[@tbone3765]

This is what you do when you run out of whiskey .

[@ReisenPluto]

Not Idiots, I can understand the boys. Must be a beautiful feeling in the storm and swimming in that sea.

[@dylanryan6142]

the signs say there's rocks under the water and the sign on the gate says no diving and it's so windy, that was a very risky thing to do

[@jamesbarry9477]

no diving? WHy build a diving board?

[@emyywolf]

Well my cousins and I used to jump off a tall mattress onto a bed. Lmaoo 😂😂😂 when we were 8 I can relate

[@jimmcneal5292]

[@cet1856]

Lots of criticism from the meek who have never left the comfort of their home in a storm like this. Those people living in the gray twilight: "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

[@nigelbaldwin752]

@@cherokeehernandez9748 Think you miss the point, they were not taking a great risk as they knew what they were doing. I swim in rough sea and it helps me cope with life and that is my choice. They were confident in what they were doing , you see risk because you do not do this so it would be risky for you. Don't judge everyone by your ability or narrow mindedness.

[@ChrisLeather]

Worst case they'd get watched onto the beach. People surf far more "dangerous" conditions every day and aren't called idiots. Yes, if they couldn't swim it would be stupid, but they obviously can...

this is good weather in Ireland..

[@noodles169]

If you are healthy, like these lads are, then doing this is perfectly safe

[@savedfaves]

It’s never perfectly safe and that’s not the point either. It’s something they felt they had to do and they are used to swimming, clearly. So they felt it was worth the risk. The wind is also going in the way, so.

[@KFUURE]

Good effort!

They're obviously strong swimmers and we'll able. Any reason to complain.
