Need go the seaside

Cameraman was the only sensible one there.

 

He was sensible because he never put himself in a position to get swept away in the first place. If I got too close to a rough see like that I hope no one dies trying to save me.

 

we have people turn up outside our house to watch high waves, one day someone will get seriously hurt. the rocks that come over onto the road are bigger than breeze blocks, my work van had loads of dings from pebbles it looked like it was used for target practice.....
i would be in 2 minds if going to help or not...................

 

Likewise. I heard on the news there was a bloke on the end of a harbour in Cornwall taking pictures of waves that were clearly higher than the harbour wall! He got skittled about but managed to stay on the wall. Nobody should jump in save such fools, it's natural selection.

 

I was sat in the Rum and Crab shack watching people walking along the harbour in St Ives at high tide yesterday evening - I felt a bit sorry for the older couple who got a full drenching outside the Hub bar - then I saw he was wearing red trousers so full on deserved it.

 

When I was a nipper my dad took me to watch a storm hit the harbour at Portsoy in Scotland. We watched from the top of a hill as waves crashed against the harbour wall sending spray high into the air but every 10 minutes or so the waves added up on top of each other and flooded right over the wall. one smashed a chunk out of the wall (didn't see that one). A good lesson.

 

I hope i never get to a point where im so unaware of my surroundings im unable to react. These are the people that stare you in the eyes as they plough their car in to you because somthing that they didnt expect happened. They just go into helpless mode. i do hope they were ok!

...hands nonchalantly in pockets as swept away...
...more jump in despite seeing first bloke being swept away fast - do they think they will fare better? The last person watched I think 3 all in trouble yet still went in too. Eventually they're all in there except the camera man. I'm afraid i wouldn't have been following unless it was one of my kids - i'd feel responsible for not bringing them up properly.
I do hope they're ok though.

 

Strange. No reaction to the danger by the first person. Im guessing an older woman tbh. No fight at all, no attempt at saving herself ( or himself). Yes its bad. Ive been in situations a number of times when ive realised if i dont move up a gear its going to end badly for me. It seems as though it takes an age for that self preservation thing to kick in but it isnt really that long. This is what happens when your desensitised to danger.

Frighten yourself every day. It helps you stay alive!

 

That's getting easier every day! By that rationale we should live forever haha

 

Kinnock was the same, trying to look cool as he fell in, though if you watch it more carefully his missus pushed him over. ha-ha.

 

This sightseeing photographer was swept 50ft along the quay into a boat, battered her head and broke her arm. I bet she wasn't a local.

 

Not a good day out. I think that were all far too desensitised. Hence people thinking they can point their vehicle at you and shout and ball and there will be no repercusions. There wont with me but eventually they will pick the wrong person or do it to a cyclist and kill them. Mind you apparently its legal to do that in nottingham.

 

My son was at Uni there, he tells me it's a bit hench, you have to watch your back. Lots of toughy wide boys.

 

Yeh.. Thats just me! The rest are pussy cats!
