Wow about this statement that one of them made "Disappointed about the cruise line".   Does he realize that at the height that he jumped from can lead to death.

 

Banning for life seems to be appropriate.

Stupid!!   Doesn't realize how lucky he is

It'd be wise for the other cruise lines to do preemptive lifetime bans on him too.  They have all the evidence they need with the video.

Yeah, this kid wasn't so lucky:

I'd like to get his contact information. That way, when cruise lines decide to put glass walls all the way up the balconies, I'll know who to blame. You really can't fix stupid. I was shocked to read that he's 27. You would think he would have outgrown this juvenile behavior by now.

What an absolute tube.... Deserves to be kicked off, and glad the rest of the moronic party got the heave ho as well..

His friend that was filming him, as well as the friends that were standing around watching and laughing, should all be banished for life. They are all idiots.

RCL just had a teen death in Haiti when falling from Deck 8 on the Ovation.   Sad

Correction Harmony not Ovation in case people want to locate the article online.

Watch for a new user to CC and his first post will be why he will never sail with Royal again!

Very sad that anyone thinks they have to do such dumb stunts for a few moments of fame. 

Life is too short as it is and it is a shame so many people feel doing odd dangerous stunts is the pinnacle of their life. 

He deserves being banned and I agree those with him, encouraging him should be banned too. 

Now might be a good time for cruise lines to come together and announce a unified policy of banning anyone doing such a dangerous, life-threatening incident.

Way to tactfully and politely correct the poster.  Classy post

Social media is making some people stupid.

Saw this on reddit.  Wondered if i would see it here.

I love that he and his friends are banned for life but I think it is hilarious that his friend has one job...video the jump and he doesn't even get video of him hitting the water! LOL!!

So it sounds like he was climbing around the partition that separates the balconies?  The headline makes it sound like he was standing there minding his own business, lost his footing and went overboard.

[matchagirl]

Is this stunt why we heard the ship's emergency horn blasts while docked in Nassau? Or was that another ship?

[matchagirl]

Oops, I just realized this thread is not our roll call. We were actually on that sailing!

[payitforward]

If he had died, his friends probably would have erased the video and then told the world how this poor kid just happened to "fall" off of his balcony.

[Coralc]

We were talking about this. I think that we would have said that he was an idiot if he died, and he is still an idiot for jumping off the ship even though he didn't. Doing something like that for a video? They were rightfully banned from the cruise line, especially after it came so soon after the incident in Labadee with a fatality.
