Jumper on Destiny

[fourwaystreet]

The guy probably found out that CCL would not deliver his ship or shore bought booze the last night of the cruise and that God forbid he would have to pick it up the morning he departs.

 

This guy jumping was completely CCL's fault.

I was a diver in college and then I used to do cliff diving and diving shows for a few years. Everytime I am on a cruise ship I always find myself thinking about how cool it would be if they had a diving platform for port days but I know why they don't....people who don't know what they are doing + alcohol = a bad accident every time. A lot of people just don't realize what water will do to you if you hit it wrong at high velocities.

No imagine the ship was traveling 20 knots at the time...

 

The leg would have been just one of many bones broken, and no chance to swim ashore.

You jumping off the ship at 20 knots would only produce one thing... you getting sucked underneath the ship and right into the propellors... you'd have to jump a nice distance away from this ship for this not to happen.

Any guesses at to blood alcohol level (assuming it was alcohol induced - I've heard that there are other uninhibitors out there :))

Maybe that's why the Dream has the promenade deck that sticks out and goes all the way around the ship. Knowing full well you'd splat on a wooden deck might deter idiots from jumping.

The real tragedy was the Romanian judge only gave him an 8.3.

 

 

LOL. This is th rare occasion I write LOL and acually DID LOL.

I ama big fan of 311.

That said, in all likelihood it was not alcohol.

 

Could have been that flat iron steak...

I hope that dude knows how lucky he is to be alive! As someone else said; if he had hit the water head first the outcome would have been very different. Actually, even going back first, he must have had a guardian angel guiding him into the water, he could have ended up with a broken neck, or back. Broken leg....lord almighty he was lucky.

What??? They don't have a plank to jump from?!:D

[Sargent_Schultz]

It shouldn't take to long to reach terminal velocity and then it doesn't matter how much higher you jump from.

What idiots there are in this world. LOL

He couldn't take the smokers on either side of his cabin anymore.
