A group of thrill-seekers’ summer fun nearly turned fatal when one impatient idiot ignored the “three Mississippi’s” count and belly-flopped right onto his friend’s skull from a dizzying height.
Shocking video shows the first jumper already in the river below when a second shirtless guy in green shorts launched himself off the rocky ledge without waiting. He came crashing down like a human missile, slamming directly onto the swimmer’s head with sickening force.
The impact knocked the first man unconscious underwater, leaving him limp and sinking as the current pulled him. Panic erupted on the cliff above, with the rest of the crew screaming and leaping in one after another in a desperate bid to pull their buddy from the drink before he drowned.
The victim was eventually hauled to safety by his frantic friends, though the clip ends without confirming his full condition. The reckless jumper who caused the mayhem surfaced and swam around, seemingly oblivious to the near-tragedy he’d just unleashed.
Cliff-jumping stunts have become a deadly social-media trend, with hidden rocks, misjudged depths and, as seen here, zero patience turning Instagram gold into potential obituaries.
