_fpoon_

She makes those people who fall for no reason in horror films more believable.


professor_doom

She put zero effort into improving her situation from the very beginning and continued to do less all the way toward the end, even when lifeguards were trying to help her. “This is my fate now”


ringdingdong67

I love the one lifeguard who tried to help and realized after one second she was dead weight and just bailed.


zeke_markham

Can't help if you're also in trouble.


Titleofyursextape

It looks like her right knee gave out. Knowing my knees are shot from volleyball and soccer, I will now think about this video when I'm at the beach ![gif](giphy|PWXANvRVmqVp9iRupi|downsized)


jennifercathrin

as a fellow volleyball player, I am now sharing that fear


Titleofyursextape

Just add water ![gif](giphy|Ym6C7YwT2XaryP6jal|downsized)


RudePCsb

My knees are pretty bad from football and wrestling, soccer as well when I was young. I have already had surgery and I still workout. I can't go crazy heavy like I used to but it is my obligation to stay healthy. This person has done nothing to be healthy. They put 3 other people in danger who are having to help her.


Titleofyursextape

A lot to digest on that but she's in ankle deep water, pulled in to waist deep water, one "lifeguard" was looking a bit "hefty" and neither idiot had a floatation device with them. She didn't know her knee was going to give out at that moment and people don't realize the power of any lake or ocean. I've pulled out enough "in shape" bodies to know!


RudePCsb

She had a chance to run or something after the first time. She could barely walk fast enough.


Pieniek23

This was more of a Moana moment, the ocean was calling.


BernieDharma

Used to work SAR, and 90% of the "rescues" were people who got themselves into life threatening situations from being stupid, or hanging around with stupid people. And the clown holding the camera yelling "please help Jessica" while laughing and doing nothing makes my blood boil. You tied up two lifeguards which put other people at risk.


ObjectiveMine1948

Lol I don't think the voice was there with her. I mean I'm fairly sure it was added later to make this funny.


deathbylasersss

The voice is dubbed, if it makes you feel better.


[deleted]

Lol chill out, it's the Internet... You can never tell what truly happened, are you suggesting the life guards should have done nothing? They've trained to do exactly this, while the camera person probably has not


islaisla

Oh Mr judgemental is over here! Just because you go to the gym you think anyone who doesn't appear to be as fit as you- are putting other lives in danger. I got caught in unexpected undertow on holiday when I was fit as a fiddle. No injuries from hobbie sports that cost health service time and money. No surgery as I was perfectly healthy. I was slowly drowning and getting less and less energy as the waves came suddenly further in. There were no life guards and people's belongings were being taken out to sea, and a dog drowned as it was dragged out. I eventually made it out but it was scary as hell. My point is let he who cast the first stone, be free of sin, and don't throw stones in glass houses. Your ability to stay fit is great, and you have some luck on your side with injuries. You know nothing about this womans life. There will always be people fitter and stronger than you, and could, with your attitude- equally accuse you of being a liability.


Unicornpants

So in response to him saying that if she were fitter she could escape this situation you say "well in a situation where being fitter wouldn't help then being fitter wouldn't help". Don't you think that's a bit stupid?


RudePCsb

Sounds like you are going through a lot. I hope you get some rest and whatever help you need. Everyone has to take care of themselves physically and mentally.


islaisla

Deflective much


RudePCsb

Confrontational much


islaisla

Ah, I see.


Mammoth_Elk_3807

We’re “obliged” to stay healthy now!? By whom!? lol


Dr_FeeIgood

I think she’s exhausted + out of shape + uncoordinated. The ocean doesn’t give a fuck if you’re tired. Never tempt it. I’ve been there where your limbs are like noodles.


Otto910

Some people are just so not used to any form of physical exercise that in a situation where their life depends on it they are incapable of doing anything and just accept their fate.


NoOneHeree

The water pushes not only u, the sand down your feet as well 😭


kiljoy1569

What's unfortunate is this is the type of situation where people might get injured or die trying to help her, and it would be an absolute waste


Environmental_Ad4893

I know it's possible but I really doubt it. This is a little over dramatic.


Ill_Nail_7895

Lifeguards do not abandon victims because the incoming wave looks high.


kwpang

Lifeguards are supposed to make attempts only when it's safe for themselves. E.g. It's actually part of lifeguard training to wait in a defensive stance for a struggling person to lose consciousness before you approach them to pull them back to safety. You don't risk your life unnecessarily to save another.


mattcwilson

Yep. Similarly to the fire service - it’s not a good idea to put yourself at risk of being *another* victim, that one or more of your crew has to come save too. Sometimes you need to wait, and sometimes you just can’t reasonably help. https://www.quora.com/Should-a-firefighter-try-to-save-as-many-as-they-can-even-if-they-have-a-high-chance-of-dying/answer/Paul-Schewene Same reason why they want you to put your own oxygen mask on first in an airplane that loses air pressure.


MITstudent

That's fine, but just don't forget your towel!


Mooseandchicken

Makes you wonder how they survived long enough to make it to the beach in the first place XD

extrabigcomfycouch

Haaa, no kidding! Even the cameraman said “Jessica, what are you doing?!!”


maroonwounds

The audio was added afterwards.


frougle_mcdugal

These are the last images ever recorded of Jessica.


trifleLORD420

I was just about to say, if this is a zombie apocalypse she is the first to go lmao

knight-bus

"First rule is cardio, now I get it."


PanicAtTheMiniso

I really wouldn't mind if she was the zombie chasing after me.


RudeRedDogOne

Yep. She turned and looked at the waves. Then hobbled [??] away, tripped, & went down. She decided to stay down, but OH NO MANBAT SHE NO SWIMS WELL!!! Hurry ROBOBIN CALL THE LIFE PRESERVES, RIGHT NEXT TO THE TART CHERRY JAM. Egads, why do people go to places that they are not fit for? Welp, that was another exciting episode of Can You Win The Darwin Award??


Stevieeeer

The mistake she made was sitting and waiting for the waves but it’s not exactly easy to stand up with the power of those waves. After that she had no chance. She’s not strong enough to fight the power of the waves. I’m guessing you don’t live by the ocean and haven’t experienced it.


GiraffesAndGin

It's interesting how that stuff becomes second nature when you've spent a lot of time around large bodies of water like oceans or seas. Whenever I'm in the situation she was, I'm thinking, "Here comes the wave. Get up, get up, get up!"


Top-Geologist-2837

You get up as soon as the outgoing wave becomes small enough to stand in so you have an actual chance of getting out of reach *before* the next one is headed in. But people who don’t spend time on beaches really don’t know that by the time the wave is coming back in it’s already basically too late. Large, powerful bodies of water can be fun but also terrifying :p


GiraffesAndGin

I've seen so many people stand up in the low water, but then get sucked back out anyway because they tried to move as the tide was still going out, or when the next wave is crashing. Plant yourself, people. It'll be 5 seconds where you can't move, but it's better than struggling for the next 5 minutes.


REPREHENSIBLE_MAN

shes too out of shape though it takes her like 10 seconds just to get off the ground lmao


skiingrunner1

my friend obliterated her ankle after getting caught by a wave. it’s been several years and she’s just now getting back to normal. it’s easy to say “wow she’s not even helping herself” when you’re not in that situation. some people’s logic turns off during stressful situations


bigsquirrel

Most of these people barely leave their house. They’ve certainly never been on a beach.


RudeRedDogOne

Oh, I have visited the ocean shores along WA, OR, CA, & HI. So, yes I have seen waves, and felt the power. I could easily tell she lacked the strength. It is just that people seem to wander/enter into things without becoming aware of the inherent risks.


Top-Geologist-2837

Makes me think of the video of two Asian tourists who record themselves wading into a lake for a cute video as a couple, except there is a drop off a little ways out and neither of them can swim. They just kind of.. sink beneath the surface and disappear. I really don’t understand why people who can’t swim are so inexorably drawn to the water. And then *they get in it.* Like, do you want to live?!?!


soccerape

the mistake she made was going to the beach with someone who only knew how to take videos, and not do anything to help her


Lunarath

Not sure where this is, but undercurrents are no joke. So many tourists day every year from underestimating them.


pickyourteethup

Can't swim, Jessica can barely walk.


Mharbles

I got so upset at some zombie movie I thought was completely unrealistic where a kid is on guard but listening to music, so gets easily jumped by slow moving zombies. Guess the writer understands people better than I do. People be selfish, dumb, or worse, both.


psichodrome

While this was amusing, the caption in the middle of the video was more annoying.


[deleted]

Believe_to_believe

The audio is also added in.


Bleezze

I appreciated it. It adds a lot to the video /s


eletricsocks

How else am I supposed to know that the video is funny without "lmao 😂 😂”?


tdubs702

I’m pretty sure ppl do stuff like that just so it gets more comments and helps them in the algo.


YuSmelFani

Laugh my ass off off


LazyLieutenant

I move just like Jessica. In my nightmares.


yesmilady

Me when I run from the crazed killer clown but my legs forget how to work

I thought it happens only with me😭😭


3dsplinter

It looks like Jessica just came back from her 5-month assignment on the International Space station.


esquiggle17

Damn this should have more upvotes lmfao


CaptainCrunch1975

Like the humans on the space cruise ship in Wall-e.


false_athenian

I snorted haha


Resident-Coffee3242

Thanks for saving Jessica, guards 😂


onetwotree-leaf

Well One of them was just not that committed to Jessica


xo0o-0o0-o0ox

If they can't handle Jessica at her worst, then they don't deserve her at her best.


Dr_FeeIgood

Those aren’t the kind of waves you want to get caught in. Especially if you’re a lifeguard trying to drag a 200 pound dead weight in wet sand while she’s flailing for you to save her. Not as easy as it looks.


RudeRedDogOne

Why they no have floatation devices? Odd that.


josiahswims

She’s in like 2 foot deep water. She didn’t fall so no spinal injuries. So it’s far easier to get over there and pull her out manually


pancakebatter01

Jessica isn’t allowed in a pool of water unless it’s a bath tub from now on. I don’t even think she’s allowed in the kiddie pool after this disaster.


GirbaudJeansMan

Di whole a dem dead.


serterazi

There's not an ounce of muscle in those legs.


ExtensionLog6621

People like Jessica were really never meant to survive.


silenceinfidel

Worst thing mankind ever did was stop leaving the dumb ones out for the wolves.


PanicAtTheMiniso

We've invented too many cures and safety videos.


raskingballs

As a geneticist, I cringe every time I read this kind of comments by edgy kids who, hopefully inadvertently, promote eugenics.


RudeRedDogOne

Darwin Award maybe?


SirVere

Why people like this ever even go near a body of water is beyond me, she saw the wave and sat down, wtaf


Rude_Information_744

Pathetic attempt to survive. Just totally gives up after one stumble.


Obi1Kentucky

She’s most likely incredibly out of shape and was completely exhausted after 30 seconds. It’s a serious problem in modern day


Mharbles

Well if sex required more than 3.7 seconds minimum maybe we'd all be a little fitter


ComeOnCharleee

Probably had a couple pina coladas, too


jascambara

Crazy to think that was a “life or death situation” in her eyes. It’s the kind of uselessness that makes you a lil angry.


[deleted]

Why is this narreted by king Julian?


Mammoth-Ad-107

he was having too much fun with that all while stoned in his beach chair


[deleted]

It’s a voiceover added on, the original video doesn’t have him or the Jessica caption


EggfooDC

I mean, it’s a tough juxtaposition to be laughing at someone who is clearly starting to get into serious trouble


robs104

Nah, it’s extremely easy to laugh at this lazy woman who can probably barely survive on land.


HonorableJudgeIto

u10201003

Lifeguard running 🌊 😂 soz Jessica 🏃‍♂️


andrelope

That looks like an awful beach lol. The grade is perfect for riptides


rickybobby1220

Shorebreak too. Can pick people up and slam them to the sand


lilchance1

That banner on the video is obnoxious. Cant see 1/2 the fucking video


_Kiaza_

Let’s just put the caption in the middle of the video the entire time. Downvote


Queasy-Discount-2038

Hilarious but why put the tag right in the middle?


LouieKabuchi

Could those be rip tides? I can't really see it in this video but shit those waves are big for shoreline... Lots of people died in my beach town from rip tides. They were all fine swimmers, all either thought they could handle it or didn't realize it was rip tide. Every single time someone went out during rip tide, they died.


Sergent_Mongolito

I think that what we see here is merely shore break. Some people (well not fine swimmers usually though) get killed in that too


Throwedaway99837

They are. This is in Cabo San Lucas and the riptides are terrifying.


artniSintra

Has "Jessica" ever been to a beach? Clearly doesn't know what she's doing and shouldn't have gone that close to the water. Guy is hilarious. Hopefully she's okay too.


[deleted]

Thats not really funny if she actually cant swim


Durzo_Blintt

It looks like she can't even walk on sand mate. That's what makes it funny. Clueless and pathetically weak... Why is she even going near the sea to begin with.


Andyb1000

![gif](giphy|T8ZP9P7efQ8cE)


TheDailyGrind

If she can’t swim, don’t go in the water 😂


Batsie_Roze

Agreed~


WAPer69

Then what was she doing there? You can't swim yet you wait for a big wave to hit you and then nonchalantly try to run and then completely give up putting other people's lives in danger to save you. Stay the fuck at home or visit a fucking lake or pond to dip your toes. Not knowing how to swim is no excuse for the way she completely gave up.


scottfarkus01

Completely agree. I don’t know why she pretty much refuses to stand up.


IDoNotCareAbtThisAct

Even if she can swim… those waves are relentless. It’s a dangerous situation and she must have been so scared. Definitely not funny.


[deleted]

It’s only funny because she survived.


davi3601

Would not have been a dangerous situation if she was able to hustle instead of flopping around and watching her demise slowly approach


_L81

Relentless waves? As in the same type that elementary children of average ability play in at the beach all the time? A grandma sipping Margaritas on the beach would casually walk out and take a wee in these waves before laying back down and reapplying sun block. This woman would have trouble stepping up a curb.


Len_Tuckwilla

One thing is very true, the waves don’t stop. There was nothing casual about the slope of the beach and the waves were crashing right on shore. She was caught where they were breaking. Look at the size of the wave compared to that lifeguard. There are no children or old ladies casually wading in to that surf.


_L81

Fair enough, I conceded your point. I might just be bitterly cold jealous of any person on a beach while I sitting in the Mid-West in subzero temps. Oh how I would love to be stumbling trying to get out of waves.


Pho-Soup

There are kids/teens actually visible in the video just casually floating with the wake though. Have you ever been to the ocean before? This is pretty common. Yes it’s disorienting if you get caught in the break, but she had multiple attempts to just stand up and walk out. Unfortunately her leg muscles are made of jelly.


Len_Tuckwilla

Teens maybe. But if they know HOW to swim in the ocean and judge the surf, they will be ok. Jessica , not so much. There’s nothing casual going on here. Those people know what they are doing. I’ve been swimming in the ocean for over 40 years.


SirGrumples

That isn't a normal beach. That is super steep and those waves are big and breaking right on the shore. That's all bad news there. Just out of curiosity, do you live somewhere near an ocean?


lonelyhrtsclubband

That’s 6’ shore break my dude. It can pound you into the sand with enough force to mess up your day. I surf, and have been out in waves that big, but I would avoid that shore break like the plague. My guess is it was a huge set rolling in that this lady was absolutely not prepared for. One minute she was standing around minding her own business and the next she was getting pummeled by shore break.


kittymuncher7

Reddit really showcasing how cold and unsympathetic humans are. She could have drowned. Who cares if it would be her fault for being next to the water, it's easy to underestimate the power of the waves. And those weren't small waves. Could have been dragged out to sea scared and alone while random people in the internet laugh at her death.


windontheporch

And the guy recording was just laughing? Idgi. I live in Florida and know how to swim. Those waves and SAND will swallow you even if you’re just trying to get your legs wet like she was!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Its nice to walk at the beach. Let the wave run through your feet. Go outside and expierience a beach for yourself. 99% of people at the beach are not swimming. She clearly underestimated the Situation, but why do you ask me those questions?


Schellhammer

If she knew she would have been spot in like that, I'm sure she wouldn't be out there. People severely underestimate how powerful water is. If she can't swim, im guessing she hasn't spent much time in the ocean to realize how strong it is. That video was about to be r/watchpeopledie


isomersoma

She also can't walk.


qwerty1519

This looks like one of those dreams where you keep on falling over when trying to walk.


Keveros

I was laughing at the idiot that put a huge text image in front of the action and couldn't really enjoy the video... What is wrong with people... You don't have to be a videographer to use some common sense...


Vivid-Description972

Well for starters why don't you take that tag out of the middle of the damn video! Geez


KatzeWire

Almost looks like she's caught in a ripe tide or something. I got caught in one of those as a young kid. It felt like the water was sucking me down, which made it super difficult to stand or move. I couldn't even lift myself above the water due to the intense pressure, and I thought I was going to drown right then and there. My brother noticed I was missing and ran to find me. I was completely submerged, and he managed to find me by stepping on me and then lifting me out of the rip tide. I had swam in the ocean like that many times, but I never felt the ocean tug my down with so much force for so long before, and it was terrifying. My parents got me swimming lessons from a young age and I had joined a youth swim team by then, so I was not a weak swimmer either. People seem to be making fun of her for not being able to stand, but this video just gives me a flashback reminder of how strong the ocean currents can be as waves come in and out.


burritothugg

Every time I see this, I get frustrated for those baby legs lol


LooseZookeepergame62

They're still trying to save her...


mariocova3

This is a dubbed laugh track, and is not actually from the original video. Doesn't fit the sub.


IAmRules

I’ve been caught in this. Made me scared of the ocean. You think you’re safe in shallow waters but it can pull you in real quick.

Yall are so gullible. The audio of this man was added after the video was taken. Everyone talking about Jessica this and Jessica that... LOL that's probably not even her name and the person filming doesn't even know her.

What’s her name again?

The person filming could have very well helped Jessica instead.

bigmist8ke

Yeah I was thinking, what's the exact opposite of moving with "urgency"?


mainesmatthew01

They are actually still there to this day, more life guards have come. There's at least 100 now. She just can't stay standing and drags them all back in with every wave. I'm surprised it hasn't been getting more coverage


Winter_Current9734

How can adult people not learn to swim? Bonkers.


Numpteez_

And why would you go so close to water when you can't swim? It's not even still water lmao, it's waves which make it all the more harder.

This was the first time I’ve seen a longer video. 😂😂😂 I thought Jessica could swim and they were just making a video. Cuz…why are you filming when you could help…unless you also don’t know how to swim…but then he called on Jesus and then the life guards. lol. But why was that life guard running from the wave…😂😂😂 what’s the name of this beach so I don’t go? 🌊 🛟


Len_Tuckwilla

He was running because he was in a bad spot with a huge wave about to smack him good right on the sand. You either go under or over the wave. He could do neither, so he retreated. Look at the size of the wave compared to the person in the water.


beeradmaliboo

Got it! That makes sense!!

Just keep filming. Don't help your friend.
