Nor had I. But when we walked up, I noted what was going on, and I couldn't think how this could POSSIBLY work out without them getting seriously hurt. I had my cellphone with me, and I had it in my hand, ready to call 911 when this was going on. The video doesn't do it justice- they were about 12 feet above the ground, and there is a 90 degree solid concrete berm about 3 feet from the bottom of that bouy! I was for sure that they would fall, they would fall and strike their head, and they would fall on each other and break their backs. These guys looked to be about 5'9" and 200 pounds each, so they could easily hurt each other when they fell. And they were ROARING drunk! They went past us on scooters about 5 minutes before, and one of them nearly rammed a crossing car at a stop light on Duval Street. The scooter companies in that city must cary some serious insurance!
Amazingly, when they fell, they fell coordinated and none of them hit the berm behind them at an awkward angle. Again, the guy in the plaid shorts: When I walked away a few minutes after the video stopped, he was still sitting on the sea wall saying his feet hurt. The other guys were walking around normally.....
Alcohol is a really strange substance~
N!
