Anyone who dares you to jump in a freaking ocean is not your friend

[@jaklg7905]

I wonder if they will be charged. It also makes you wonder how anyone can be that stupid.

[@kanialahalealani]

Honestly, someone can dare me to do something all day long. I wouldn't be that dumb to jump off a ship. Death is always tragic but what exactly was he intending? Stopping and ruining everyone's evening, selfishly? Well he did that by dying. Knowing that it was indeed stupid, he'd probably be arrested if he had lived. Either way it was dumb. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Determination212]

If your friend is daring you, they should be the first ones to take the jump for themselves. But also it's common sense, do not jump off a cruise ship, it's not like the video games. You don't get ten lives with a first aid kit at your disposal. There's no restarts in this world.

I was dragged miles out to sea by a riptide when I was 15. When I realized where I was, my first thought was sharks. My next thought was, “ Don’t think about that, you have to survive “

[@SweetandSourlyToxicViralVideos]

WoW. .just wow. You're survivor 💙🙏🏾💙

[@jackdoubleu3251]

Same. I didn't realize how far I drifted out , until I tried to make it back to shore. I then realized how people drown. U get so tired of swimming and panic that you just give up. I made it back but haven't really been waist deep in the ocean since.

[@becky4728]

The thing is, I did eventually give up and drown. It was very peaceful. Then a voice came to my right ear and asked,” You’re 15 years old. Do you want to die today?” It seemed like no big deal either way but I finally said no. Then I was hit by a surge of energy and shot to the surface. My handsome guardian angel came and plucked me out of the ocean and dumped me on the sand like a sack of potatoes. Passed out for a couple hours. Never even told my parents. It’s like I wasn’t allowed to.

[@jackdoubleu3251]

@becky4728 let me tell you , I was on my last breath 🤣 and a friend was with me . I was so tired that I couldn't even tell him I was in trouble. Little did I know he was in the same predicament as me , panicked , scared , and tired. I wanted to grab on to him to stay up afloat but didn't because I told myself if I'm tired, he must be tired . He then was behind me, and can u believe he grabbed my leg to stay afloat while I was damn near dead ! I couldn't even tell him to let it go, I was so tired. Every time I thought I swim close enough to where it would be seafloor and I could stand up , it wasn't, and that just made me even more panicked. Then, for some reason, when I was / we were going give up , a huge wave pushed us to where it was seafloor again and we can stand . As we were pushed that last time by the wave, I can see the lifeguards running in after us 🤣 . God definitely was with us that day.

[@mikerryan85]

I was caught in a riptide when I was 20 while snorkeling. I was separated from my group and it was terrifying and I’m a great swimmer. I swam parallel to the beach and eventually at an angle to where I finally made it to land. I was completely exhausted, but glad I made it out. Riptides are no joke!

[@Floridaman_69]

Coast Guard member here. For the first case and "why did they start a go-fund be before the search was called off". I have conducted many searches. The likely hood of finding someone alive drastically goes down after each hour. Even faster depending on the water temp. The average person can tread water for 2-3hours. To be honest when we search for over 6 hours our mindset goes from saving a life to finding a body.....

I was on a cruise (Carnival Elation, 2005) where a woman took her life by jumping off the ship. We returned to the point where she was last seen and spent 4 hours looking for her, along with the USCG, the Mexican Navy and the Belizian Navy. The Mexican Navy declared her lost at sea that evening. Put a serious dent on our 25th anniversary cruise.

[@dojo1249]

We have notice sharks usually follow ships as they did when I was stationed on a ship back in the Navy

[@TheRiverPirate13]

The waters around Athol Island and Rose Island have lots of Tiger and Bull sharks. If you fall into the water at night, you might as well ring a dinner bell. Watching the video he swims away from the life ring which makes me think he saw something in the water between him and the life ring. So tragic and so unnecessary that it even happened. The sharks see prey that is struggling in the water and they do what sharks do best. Prayers for his family.

[@pixpusha]

I saw the video. There was a marine animal in the water. It could have been a dolphins, could have been a shark. But there was definitely an animal that made a U turn and headed for him. There's a somewhat clear video on reddit.

I guarantee you alcohol is involved in the majority of overboard situations, if not all of them.

[@enibeni2071]

Let's say irresponsibility is almost always involved. Drinking a drug (alcohol is a drug) is an irresponsible act. People choose to do things that they know can create problems. I feel sorry for this family.

There is such a thing as common sense, which is seems that many people are lacking in. I’m not speaking of either of these tragic incidents but there are people who take stupid to the next level.

[@thomaskirk9341]

Been on over 40 cruises on many different lines, and there are a couple facts about people going overboard. #1 The railings and guards on ANY areas of ANY ship are designed to keep you aboard the ship, the railings are well above waist level, which leaves me to reason #2. #2 If you go overboard off a cruise ship it's because you are doing something very dangerous or very stupid, such as being drunk, showing off, etc. Any normal, responsible activity on a cruise ship will never involve going overboard.

I feel like you handled this both respectfully and tastefully, thank you for talking about the go fund me, I totally agree with everything you said

[@ron56pvi13]

If someone drowns, water fills the lungs and the body sinks. The buoyancy of a body's fat cannot keep it afloat. How long it remains under is a function of water temperature and sometimes marine life. Once the body decays and gasses are released, the body bloats and brings it to the surface. Warm water should take about three days or so. Cold water much longer.

[@elysamoulding7690]

When I was in college, one job I took regularly was working at a lakeside resort. Long story short, somehow mixing large amounts of water, watercraft, people and alcohol is a recipe for accidents and dumb sh#t. Every week it was something serious that had to be called in. More than a few were fatalities. My cousin worked as a Ranger in Zion National Park. Add no water (dehydration), high cliffs and cell phones (selfies), as well as over confidence, you also see a lot of accidents and dumb sh#t.

[@whatfreedom7]

We have seen many accidents reported in our local parks too. Always hearing stories in the news about people falling off the cliffs. Probably tying to do selfies or whatever.

The more you're educated about the odds and statistics of something, the more agonizing its going to be for you because you're going to be alone in a sea of others who are uninformed to the point of not listening to you when you tell them what's going to happen with almost a certainty.

Floating in the ocean, you're a dark pin head in a large field. People have no idea how small they are until they've been in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean

I just watched your video and I totally agree with everything you said. I always say you can't 'fall' overboard. I've been on a few cruises and those railings are pretty high. I like very much how you present your news stories. So yes, I subscribed.

The harbor in Nassau is full of sharks! Huge bull sharks and tiger sharks! I've anchored there numerous times. The current is super strong too!

[@SpreadShalom]

Man, I didnt think of money grab situations but it was awesome to see you explain how that shouldnt be our thoughts in our side and due to situations. Very respectful and wise.

So sad my condolences to both families may they find peace to carry on

After seeing it again, in daytime, over clear waters, the Robbins kid would have been ok. It sounds like maybe the boat was parked in place? and it wasn't that far of a jump. But jumping into the nighttime ocean clearly did not work out well for him.

Another great video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us on all things cruise! It's very sad that some people have thrown themselves overboard on the cruise. May these lost souls rest in perfect peace🙏🏾

[@daggerones4677]

Navy Vet...it takes time for a ship to turn around, more so for a huge ship like that. We drilled man overboard often and have had shipmates gone over on their own. Never to be seen again. Lots goes into searching.

[@bestmomcheck2046]

I've been on 3 cruises and never had a problem. I loved all of them.

[@shatorreiastafford6245]

I love your videos 😊 all the facts about the cruises , keep up the good work

[@judithcoe7551]

Praying for all the families. Thanks for the educational information!😊🎉❤

[@magnificentmakingmoves3046]

Now I HAVE to follow to see about this cruise !! I’m invested . Have a great day

[@peggyd3368]

Heartbreaking! Imagine getting that call as a parent. I didn't even think about the fact that the cruise ship is still sailing.Too bad they weren't thinking in the moment because my goodness how would he get back on if the ship is still moving?

[@valeriegoldberg2519]

I just recently started watching you. I have really enjoyed your thoughts. Thanks.😊

[@GeeSpot-le5so]

Very well said Sir. Let us all pray for everyone involved! I am a longtime cruiser and I couldn't imagine this in my worst nightmare! 😢

[@CatRiley]

Your videos are well done. I’m glad I discovered you. Have a great weekend😊

[@gyrene_asea4133]

Opening scenes are of a flat-out GORGEOUS day in the Pacific NW! Rare, but what a sight.

[@l.ellei.sorensen4121]

Your posting about others speculating is a wonderfully important, and a responsible thing to do.

[@off2geo]

I figured thats what happened it being late at night... sharks out hunting for a crunchy snack before bedtime. A horrible way to die. Wonder how the ones who voiced the dare feel about this outcome.

[@sparkleplenty59]

I SO appreciate your update. I'm a newbie here.... I agree with you! I'll be back. ❤

We used to put out small fish nets off the beach at night during the fall spot run here in NC. Getting out in the ocean at night is eerie. You stake your line on the beach and walk the net out about 50-100 yards, depending on net length and level of tide. You have to drag a sand bag tethered to the end. Small fish and shrimp are flipping out the water and in the back of your mind, you're wondering did you startle them or are they avoiding predation. There's been mornings you pull in your gill net and find holes where a shark swam through it. I wouldn't do it now if you paid me. The careless things we do in our youth...

[@dainvigilant5742]

Well said!! Enjoy your cruise!!

[@vickiebaker2754]
