One Of The Most HOLY SHIT Videos I've Seen In My History Of Internet'ing - Woman Falls 50 Feet Down A Waterfall With A GoPro Attached (NSFW-ish)
Ho.
Ly.
Shit.
This video is going very viral right now and I gotta say, it is one of the most chilling videos I’ve seen in internet history. To the point I almost didn’t blog it because of just how eerie it is. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a 50 foot fall captured like that, and then the struggle to get out of the water, coupled with the sounds she is making, it’s all so wild.
NY Post - An adventurer miraculously survived a 50-foot plunge down a Hawaiian waterfall — with the whole ordeal caught on camera.
Heather Friesen, 26, had a GoPro strapped to her head as she fell down the sheer rocks at the Ka’au Crater Trail, cheating death — but suffering a collapsed lung, 10 broken ribs and a fractured scapula.
The dramatic footage shows her initially looking at the drop with awe, saying, “Whoa.”
But her feet then slip from underneath her as she steps on a wet patch, and she slides straight over the rock’s edge.
Screaming as she falls, Friesen eventually plunges into the water, moaning as she appears to be submerged for at least 20 seconds. Once out, she continues groaning in clear agony as a male friend helps her in the recently released footage of the 2016 drama.
All things considered, a collapsed lung and 10 broken ribs doesn’t sound too bad for how big of a fall that was. I also can’t stop feeling about how surreal of a feeling the fall must have been for her, just waiting for it to end but it never coming.
All in all, gotta be one of the more shocking videos I’ve seen in quite some time. Glad she made a full recovery and is doing great now. And lesson learned, just never lean over to get a look at anything, ever. One second you’re like “oh look, a pretty butterfly!” and then the next second you’re doing the world’s worst slip n side, pin balling like Homer falling down a mountain
