A recent social media challenge resulted in a disaster when four males died after performing some stunts on a high-speed boat. It was jumping off the boat or making a flip from the boat. 

According to the authorities, the incidents could have been easily avoided. And it makes no sense to perform such life-risking tasks without any reward attached to it, just as an adventure to be shared on social media somewhere questions the intelligence and the value of a human life. The official from the rescue Department presented concern over a statement about the situation.

In the official made statement, Jim Denise addressed the situation and had these wordings, “That is a considerable concern because we have seen this pattern emerge over the last two years and it’s sporadic, but it’s something that needs to go away and stay away, I think people if they’re being filmed on camera, I think they’re more likely to do something stupid because they want to show off in front of their friends for social media.”

The shocking incident occurred when the wife was recording her man and three children on the boat. When the father of the family initiated, the stunt turned into a dead end. The most unfortunate part of the whole story was that his wife was recording it while he died. 

Even for a stuntman, it is risky to perform a stunt every time he steps on the field. Recently, a stuntman lost his life in a tragic accident while he was performing.
