Iirc that picture was “faked” in the sense that the perspective makes it seem more dangerous than it is. There’s actually a platform under him.
Yeah but, this guy died.
…years later. But he did die.
Posing for trick photography has a 100% fatality rate…eventually.
That’s the same rate of death that getting your family picture taken at Sears has.
Those bastards
Fun fact, you are more likely to die taking a selfie than to be killed by a shark. From 2018-2021 more than 300 people died while taking a selfie, in that same time period about 200 people were killed by sharks.
I’ve had this argument with my wife, who wants to swim with Orcas, so many times.
Me: Orcas are the sadistic murder cats of the ocean. Do not swim with them. They may decide to kill you for the fun of it.
Her: There has never been a reported fatal orca attack! You worry too much!
Me: How many people do you think are trying to swim with wild orcas every year? Sample size is to small. It’s like saying it’s safe to slap a grizzly bear with a pool noodle and then throw a Meringue pie in it’s face, because AFAIK, no one has ever died doing so.
