Cruise Ship Bans Man For Life After He Jumps Overboard In Attempt To Go Viral
Yahoo Lifestyle - A group of men aboard a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship got banned from the cruise line for life, after one of them jumped from the 11th floor of the ship while it was docked in the Bahamas.
Nick Naydev, 27, of Vancouver, Wash., took to his Instagram on Friday to post a video of himself jumping off of his room’s balcony from the Symphony of the Seas ship into the ocean. The video, which was recorded by his friend Konstantin Kryachun, captures the men standing on the balcony and laughing as Naydev gets ready to take the leap. In midair, Naydev begins to flail his limbs before he ultimately hits the water.
He began to answer people’s questions about the jump within his Instagram post’s comment section, saying that he must have been about 110 to 120 feet above the water.
“My feet were actually fine. It was my neck and tailbone that hurt,” he wrote. “Could barely walk for 3 days and could barely sleep from the pain. I’m good now.”
“He’s jumped from those kind of heights before, and we didn’t really care about the consequences with the cruise company,” he explains. “We just wanted to get a video of it and make it go viral.”
“This was stupid and reckless behavior, and he and his companions have been banned from ever sailing with us again,” a spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “We are exploring legal action.”
I mean every friends group has come to a situation somewhat like this in life, right? It doesn’t matter if it’s shotgunning a Four Loko or jumping off a cruise ship either. When a group of friends gets in an environment like this there’s always some type of bet followed by a “just do it pussy” right around the corner. And it seems like this guy Nick really isn’t a fan of being called a pussy.
I actually really hope that this was more of the case than him wanting to go viral because I feel like “my buddies wouldn’t stop calling me a pussy” is much better than saying “I wanted to go viral,” but maybe that’s just me.
Anyway, this guy either has a big set of balls or he doesn’t have a brain. There’s really no in between. If you’ve ever been on a cruise ship you know how fucking terrifying even the prospect of going overboard is, and this guy just did it willingly. I mean he’s an idiot, and could’ve died pretty easily, but anything to make your buddies laugh and end up on Barstool’s Instagram, right?
The only positive I have about this guy is that he didn’t have any of these types of videos on his Instagram:
Nothing makes me want to barf than these videos. Like what the fuck?
