The kid in this story was on a trip celebrating his graduation from high school and did something very stupid, but he probably didn't realize how big of a risk he was taking with the currents, etc. I can see how people would have more sypathy for him due to him being so young and celebrating an accomplishment. It's not really that hard to understand.
The only reason it’s a big deal here is it was a kid who went to a BR high school
Which obviously makes sense

I love how this thread went from arguing if 18 year old adults/kids should be going alone to the Bahamas to get drunk, but now they aren’t smart enough to figure out you don’t jump off a commercial boat, especially from peer pressure and drinking.
Odds on parents suing everyone involved instead of looking at their decision to pay for their kid to go on a bender vacation? Can we make jokes then?

In the Bahamas, against this company? Good luck.

Was gonna give props to the kid if she was considerate enough to text her parents and let them know she was safe given the tragedy and given how parents start worrying when something like this happens
You are a liar

And a video? Who the frick videos instead of doing something. Social fricking media is literally the death of kids.
Somebody dared him to jump in, offered money. That’s why guys were filming. It was a gag gone terribly wrong

I took the same class at USL before I worked a summer job offshore in between semesters. One of the techniques they taught us was using pants as a floatation device. It would be easier for you to YouTube it than for me to explain.

What kind of miserable person makes jokes about a situation like this?

As I understand from my child, he believed he could swim to the back of the boat and get back on there. In the video it does seem that is were he was headed but a girl does yell out “the current” and then you don’t see him anymore. It’s awful.

The OT routinely makes jokes about people doing dumb things and dying.
Black thug accidentally shoots himself and it’s Darwin. Someone has road rage and tries to ram someone and drives off a Cliff, he deserved it. In fact, there was a thread on the OT yesterday about a teen in California who climbed a building and died and the poster called it Darwin and everyone laughed.
You included the explanation on the differences fairly well.

Still, with alcohol and boating you would think the booze cruise people would make them wear them to avoid situations like this.
What a liberal thing to say. Because 1 person out of tens of thousands who ride the boat took it upon himself to jump off the boat, we need to make sure everyone wears a life jacket.

The video I saw was a young man who apparently didn’t know the jumper. He was videoing them having fun and then he sees someone jump in the water. He’s nowhere near the side of the boat and there’s many people between him and the side. What do you want him to do? I’m sure in the 10 seconds of video, he assumed the guy was going to be ok and didn’t comprehend that he would die.

A MARINE aboard the aircraft carrier America survived a brush with death and 36 hours afloat before Pakistani fishermen hauled him aboard their trawler. -----------------------------------------------------------------
WASHINGTON - Unable to sleep, Lance Cpl. Zachary Mayo strolled out to the rail of the USS America for some fresh air and a look at the stars over the Arabian Sea.
A shift in the wind and a jolt from a swinging metal door, and Mayo found himself bobbing in the wake of the giant carrier, his cries inaudible on the idle flight deck far above.
It was the beginning of a brush with death and a 36-hour soaking that ended when Pakistani fishermen hauled the sunburned Marine aboard the deck of their trawler.
On the other side of the world in Osburn, Idaho, Mayo's parents, churning over the news that their son was missing, awakened in the wee hours yesterday to a phone call from a man with a Pakistani accent asking if they wanted to speak to him.
"He just said, `Hi dad,' " his father, Stanley Mayo, said in a telephone interview.
The younger Mayo, 20, given up for lost after a long search by the Navy, was calling from the Pakistani village of Gwadar, where he had become a local celebrity.
With the villagers of Gwadar and the Mayo family assured of the Marine's safety, someone thought to notify the Navy, which had searched for Mayo with four aircraft and two escort ships after his absence was noticed Saturday morning.
As Mayo told his parents, he used his training to stay alive. He got out of his overalls, tied the legs and arms, blew them up and fashioned a balloon to keep him afloat.
As the Navy searched, Mayo stayed afloat until a fishing vessel rescued him and took him to Gwadar. He found a taxi driver who could speak English and persuaded the driver to take him to a telephone. He knew his parents would be worried.
He couldn't have guessed how worried. The Marines had dispatched an officer to visit the Mayos and tell them their son was missing.
"He got on the phone, `Hi, Mom, hi, Dad,' just regular," recounted Cindy Mayo from her home.
"He kept saying how he used all of his water-survival training he learned in the Marine Corps," Stanley Mayo said. "He was in high spirits. . . . But he was very tired of floating in the water for 36 hours."
"We were going through everything that a parent goes through when a child is in trouble," the relieved father said. "I was just overcome with happiness, and I had to listen to him for a couple of minutes to make sure it was him."
Mayo was assigned to the Marine Tactical Electronics Warfare Squadron Three, a group of EA-6B radar-jamming planes based in Cherry Point, N.C. He enlisted in the Marines in 1993 and, after boot camp, attended school to become an aircraft hydraulics mechanic.
As far as the Mayos know, their son is headed back to the America to continue his assignment.
