Here is a video that shows people need to use some caution as well as a plan for river crossings.

YIKES!!! They should have realized the current was too strong for a stock Cherokee with no lift, actually impressed the other 2 made it thru as well. That one guy was lucky!! Love how some folks have no responce mechanism in their brain, it is scary actually!! Those guy's were really lackadaisical while the first guy out in the river is yelling for them to help!!
Actually that shows that Dumb, Dumber, Stupid, Really Stupid, Idiotic, Simply Brain Dead, Flat Lined But Still On My Feet, and No Brains At All should have stayed at home drinking horse piss beer and playing video games.
The incredible reaction time from the guys on the river banks when they are watching the upside down Jeep in the river: Sizzle....pop........(synapse collapse sounds)...zzzrrrrrrrrrrrr....."Hey.......errr..... .duh......................Ma buddies done be in dah car and be under the water..................(More short circuit sounds....little smoke coming out of the ears now, too, as this requires something beyond the intelligence level needed to breath)...Uh......Day cain't breath under water can they?" Just goes from worse to simply pathetic.....
Someone I know has an issue where their life is at stake, I am going to be moving, not scratching my nadules....Been there, done that. You usually don't have time for slow minutes of "ER DUHHHHHHHHHHH"
I am not sure I would have helped....These folks were simply too stupid to get in the way of Darwin....
I would never cross a river with that much current. Entertaining to watch nonetheless.
wow. so much stupid... the guy riding on the roof rack of the last vehicle to cross the river, after watching the last guy roll. Four guys pulling the XJ towards themselves. The strap on the axle. And last but not least, the speedo- where did that come from? Emergency kit?
I do have to say that hearing someone scream in Russian on Fathers Day makes me miss my Dad!!
I have been there and done that too Pete, the folks were lucky I have no apprehension about responding to a life or limb incident, more than a few times actually!
IF I had the unhappy misfortune to have stayed around to see that happen, I would have responded. IF I had a chance and saw what they were doing, I would have left them on their own, much as I leave a climbing area when people look like they are about to eat the mango. One of the reasons I no longer have anything to do with search and rescue groups. I have no real inclination to "help" dumb people who get into life threatening situations and don't especially like humping bodies out of the backwoods. As to the latter, hell, I figure the animals need some meat to eat, too...
That is simply my overly sensitive nature showing itself one more time....
Just goes to show that there is a translation to dumb@zz in every language

Wow. I can't imagine being in that Xj...it goes from "oh no" to " gurgle gurgle" really fast! Haha
Here's an interesting one that wasn't life or death, but someone could have been severely injured or killed a couple of times through stupidity. The guy in the Disco who finally pulls this guy out of the mud has a series of videos showing him beating the crap out of his rig, some in the same place as this vid. Google "Land Rover Discovery destruction."
For fun, count the number of stupid moves.
Looks to me like mouth breathing Mr. Speedo had a grasp on how fast the current really was. In case there were any doubts, he jumped in to prove it.
Sean, I agree, look before you leap. Make a few contingency plans before you proceed. All my safety training says the first responder, is one awwshit from being the next victim.

WOW!!!!
