That seems ill advised.

By faking it of course. Maybe they used two separate guys and cut it together. RIP guy #1

DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
My guess is there's something unique, the way the waves set up - we can't see from this angle and makes it look more dangerous than it is.
Paystoplay
I'm siding with this guy!! Maybe you can.... Ummm go under the dock.. No that wouldn't work.... Even to hold on the a bar would be very hard

You have to be crazy to do something like that.

And coming up in the 2016 Darwin Awards, near misses and almost fatals!

Sometimes these are more interesting than the actual DA's. Which, really, are just sad IMHO.

But totally awesome....this dude.

Don't. Do. That.

I'm so confused...that was brave...but also dumb. Just glad he made it to tell his grandkids and the world.

Don't worry folks, it's just Jason Momoas stunt double!

Yeah, I respect the ocean too much for that tomfoolery. Nature is indifferent to your well being, she don't give a fuck.

Why, I think is the more pertinent question.

My guess is that this was a spectacularly failed suicide attempt. He realized he was still alive - which is why he ran at the end.

As a volunteer for the coastguard, this hurts to watch.

No

As a watch that hurts, i volunteered for the coastguard.

Soo... You're in the coastguard?

I used to do this on a rock in front of my house whenever there was big surf

Hits his head while in the water: Dead. Slips on the wet pier and hits his head: Dead. Misses the pier on the way back up, dragged out: Dead

do you want your skull smashed on a rock, because that's how you get your skull smashed on a rock.
TheShogunMustGoOn
Yay.

A guy i knew died smashing his skull on a rock. People do stupid things without thinking of the consequences

I imagine he sounded like Peter Griffin crying as he runs away at the end.

Do you want rats, because that's how you get rats !

I think he realized how bad he fucked up and how lucky he got. That's why he broke for safety.
Tonberryc
I think he was expecting to be launched back up on the first wave, but got stuck in a turbine against the concrete until the second wave.
ThatRussian
I tried holding my breath this whole time and long story short, I wouldn't have made it. I also wouldn't have been there in the first place
Soleblighter
You probably should work on that cardio. I mean it's like a 10sec hold. Hell, you should probably avoid a filled bathtub.
AluminiumFalcon
Thank you! That was hilarious.

Tombstoning is the most retarded idea for coastal diving. So many people die doing it.
yoginioftruth
I literally googled this bc I didn't know it was a thing til now. F that!

THIS IS A THING!?!?!?

Evolution is getting alooot of help here...
acertainjenesaisquoi
Has been for a while. It's always been semi-big in Britain, to the point that we have a poster campaign almost every summer against it.
tommyfever
Is "tombstoning" the same as cliff diving?
acertainjenesaisquoi
Sort of. Notice how the fuckwit enters the water (arms by side, completely vertical)? That's tombstoning. That and they rarely survey 1
acertainjenesaisquoi
the landing area for any hazards. It's quite often for people to hit dry land/rocks or water that's not deep enough for this "technique". 2
tommyfever
Ah, gotcha. I assume the person in the video knows this water extremely well, but it's still pretty stupid.
acertainjenesaisquoi
Even if you do, there's always unknown risks. Plus, right next to a groyne like that you'd most likely have large rocks to prevent erosion.
