Capt. Jim Dennis with the Childersburg Rescue Squad said these deaths are people of all ages.
“The four that we responded to when they jumped out of the boat, they literally broke their neck and, you know, basically an instant death,” Dennis said.

Last six months we have had four drownings that were easily avoidable. They were doing a TikTok challenge. It’s where you get in a boat going at a high rate of speed, you jump off the side of the boat, don’t dive, you’re jumping off feet first and you just kinda lean into the water,” said Cpt. Jim Dennis with the Childersburg Rescue Squad.
I am not used to UK Daily Mail pushing fake news. They seem pretty reliable.

You learn well it’s a rare thing
The article said there were other TT challenges leading to deaths - further down in the article. That’s why the Benadryl story was brought up.
I believe people are doing this. Perhaps it’s not a huge thing. But, they are covering deaths from this ‘dare’.
I never did anything that bad I always have questioned every thing and every one some tell me it’s a fault but what the hell I’m still here.
Seeing cats hunt teaches may lessons.
How is this different from water skiing?
"Victims"?? Were they pushed? 🤣🤣🤣
And remove all the warning labels from everything. They'll quickly be sorted out.
Because that's where the Democrats can reliably communicate with their idiot voters and potential idiot voters, and they want to maintain that access.
I don’t buy it. Going over 45, you skip like a stone. At about 25 you start to sink and as you’re slowing you build an air pocket around you. Let’s call some barefooted skiers
Easier yet, go look in youtube

No names. No videos (remember, they’re doing this for the PURPOSE of recording themselves) What’s the name of the guy on the rescue squad that made the comment on that video? Four people in one area jumped off boats and broke their necks. No where else. What did the black guy on the video really say? Did he witness this, or even make a comment directly about it? No, he made some general comment about Tiktok videos. I am in Alabama. I watch the local news. There has been no mention of this. Until I’m proven wrong, I believe this is a bunch of media reporting on an urban legend as if it’s real.
“Capt. Jim Dennis with the Childersburg Rescue Squad said these deaths are people of all ages.”
Please see my post #56. In the video referenced in my comment they included a statement I guess from this guy but didn’t name him. I’m still not convinced. The TV station listed in the article, WPDE, isn’t even in Alabama. That’s kind of strange, don’t you think?
If true, this is good news. The gene pool is slowly being cleaned out ... too slowly though.
WPDI sourced the story from WBMA in Birmingham. Here’s the like to that station’s story.
google water skiing death broken neck.
It’s even more common for wakeboarders and tubing.
