Hilarious Aquatic Fails

Boneheaded boater - NL (7)

WATER. BRAINS. GONE Ever wonder if being near water makes people lose their minds? This video is a hilarious deep dive into the bizarre behavior that unfolds when humans meet H2O. Witness folks casually strolling onto beaches about to be swallowed by the tide, prioritizing cell phones over self-preservation, and one guy who takes a swim to save a runaway boat. Is it "Zen" or just nonsense? You decide!
