When I saw the instruction video the other day about waiting for a minute for the initial shock to subside I was thinking BS. I have fallen in water before and your initial reaction is to just GTFO not tread water and calm down. Thats a 56 year old drunk and he just flew right out of that hole. hahaha

I cant stop laughing. "How dare you." "Put your hands in the air! Roll in the snow!"

[u/downvote_me_moreYOLO]

LOL, the last thing that he mentioned is exactly what happens when you're doing a 5 person group project and only two people do 95% of the work. "I'd like to think of us as a unit...As a unit, we've done that test"*

[u/apocalypsedg]

i actually think this was quite an irresponsible thing to do to a 56 year old chain smoker

[u/chinlesschicken]

As he's listing off the symptoms of a heart attack!

[u/bouncenolabounce]

Not sure if it was a joke, though rolling in the snow does sound like a logical way to wick away the water.

[u/omnilynx]

It's sad how that guy's face was destroyed by pixelation like that.

[u/blomhonung]

So, why did he have to roll in the snow?

[u/Kuth]

May's reaction is so genuine. :D

"I.. I'm staggered!"

[u/shiner_bock]

Ah fuck. I can't believe you've done this.
