The real unexpected was the true determination to keep that selfie camera going.

They’re all there specially to film the tidal bore

There is so much to see in this video.

House is already almost off the cliff.

Banana punching is powerful and banana declined to save him in the end.

2 of 4 already have life vests

What is even happening here.

Edit- I looked into this and it’s an example of a tidal bore in a river in Indonesia. That explains a lot about this video. They knew it was coming and decided to have some fun with it.

Even though they were prepared, the guy's instinct to hold the tree was on point.

I remember seeing more than 3 persons perspective from this particular event way back ago.

Strange.

He's already prepared. Life vest on. He keeps punching the banana tree knowing he's being filmed. He keeps shooting glances towards the incoming water. He knows the other people are running towards him....

It’s a tidal bore. They’re hanging out there specially to play in it. They aren’t uncommon in certain places and happen on a known schedule

u/EastLeastCoast Aug 28 '25

Are we calling that punching? Looks more like a moderately aggressive dap

No karma here. They all expected that to happen. They were all waiting for it to happen.

u/fohgedaboutit Aug 28 '25

There's a little bit of karma, the tree he was punching went up his butthole.

I remember a couple years ago seeing footage of the girl in the pink hijab. I wanna say she was smiling the whole time she was running and while getting swept away by the wave.

She got knocked down slightly. It’s not a tsunami, it doesn’t go far up on land
