EXCLUSIVE: A group of students tried to physically stop Cameron Robbins from jumping off a Bahamas cruise ship last week after he was reportedly dared to take the leap, Fox News Digital has learned.
Robbins, 18, was on Blackbeard's Revenge sunset cruise with several hundred high school graduates from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and jumped overboard into what authorities called "shark-infested" waters near the uninhabited Athol Island, northeast of Nassau, around 9:30 p.m. on May 24.
A woman whose son was friends with Robbins and on the boat at the time told Fox News Digital that several students tried to grab Robbins before he took the plunge, but he broke free.

He has "been here throughout his entire educational career. He's an athlete, great kid, great smile, great head of hair." It's like the Onion.

Idiot teen drinkers do idiotic things.
Parents let him take a “booze cruise?” Everyone got what they wanted, then.

Would the sharks come after him that fast? Indeed, "shark-infested" is journalistic cocaine used to excite readers.
Unless one jumps into the middle of a shark-frenzy with an already bloody carcas in the middle, sharks are cautious creatures that will first circle prey, take some time to figure out what it is, confirm if its edible, make an exploratory bump/bite (which nonetheless could be fatal to humans) etc...

Most of us live through the stupid decisions of youth. Somehow I did. But not all make it.

Some of us did it with the help of Guardian Angels, most of whom are still in therapy.

Would the sharks come after him that fast?If the sharks associate a splash with food and there are lots of them there, I think the sharks would react very quickly because they want to beat the other sharks to the food.

The video shows him right next to the ship, which does not seem to be going fast. I don’t see how the ship’s crew could fail to recover him.
