I was repelling with my church group in Yosemite back in 1981 when I was just a kid. Long story short, I went last and no one was around to do it right, apparently. The church youth group leader was by himself and he held me upside until the 80 foot drop ended. I will never repel again. Never did. Surprised he didn't drop me....church people are not normal. It was not safe. But, maybe Jesus did what I asked. I just let go and then didn't do it right. But, I lived. These people are with God, I'm sure. People could easily die in Yosemite, too. I don't like that park.

Survives 119 days lost at sea, only to be killed by a brain tumor 8 months later. Life ain’t fair.

Theres a movie about this…😊

So this is why math is important but it can't help you when you don't know how many feet are in a meter. Damn metric system

Theres a movie about it…..

I've seen enough of life to make these two statements first of all bloggers are just narcissists who don't know how to keep a journal to themselves.. and Wanderlust should be looked at as a symptom of underlying depression because no matter where they go it's not where they want to be Wanderlust these people also cannot stand to be alone for more than 5 minutes and need constant validation. So travel bloggers are really all the red flags in the world rolled into one and need psychological help

Death by selfie? Helps to drain some of the shallow end of the gene pool... What a stupid way to die...

I hope that she believes in God.He saved her

This remind me on the "seconds from disaster" documentarys.

Really enjoyed this one❤️❤️🚤⚓️

What were the titles of the two books you mentioned? Interested in reading them

Fantastic story

I love this unknown (to me) couple - your narrative is amazing! RIP beautiful souls, fly high!

I once caught a ferry from Wellington to Picton, NZ. Roughest seas I have ever experienced and I've sailed a lot in my lifetime. Was seasick from the time I boarded until arriving in Picton in the early morning hours - never to be forgotten!

Does anyone else find the background music a little distracting/too loud?

Darwin awards for these two.

When you go to Yellowstone there are warnings everywhere. Even when I was a kid in the 70s. Signs, pamphlets, park employees telling you to be careful on trails, and yet people just don't listen. A serious lack of respect for the brutality of nature. I once had to physically grab a little boy because his parents were encouraging him to go hug an elk calf so they could take a picture. Then I had to find a way to make the parents understand that those weren't tame animals and they were lethal. Even with the warnings, people don't listen.

I was a SAR Swimmer in the Navy. Our squadron was deployed to USS Enterprise. I recall a time when we were operating missions near the Alutian Islands. Flying 4 hours a day. I have never seen sea states like that in my life or since. Literally spray coming over the deck (80 feet) of Enterprise. Truxton having their decks completely flooded navigating 50’ swells. The color of the water I will never forget. A deep green color.

Speaking as a Canadian who has known several new zealanders and Australians let me just say that the hubris of those people is unlike anything I've ever encountered

Like to thank @evryhndlestakn for bringing this story to my attention. I was consumed by this story since I heard about it and started working on it immediately. One of the great survival stories you'll ever hear of. Ingenuity, patience, and a ton of luck really enhanced their survival. Thank you all for watching and supporting Outdoor Disasters!

Not surprising there were no experienced seafaring crew willing to take this journey. The captain was so irresponsible it could be considered manslaughter.

It is very difficult to prevent these untimely deaths because some of these adrenaline junkies are placing their lives in their own hands. We cannot feel guilty about that. They knew what they were up to. They spoke about it in their blogs.

As tragic as incidents like this are, I still can't understand the urge to risk your life to climb a mountain. There are many ways to empower our spirits and encourage others than doing something so inherently dangerous. What do we pass on in such activities? Do we encourage experienced, capable people or just possibly, do we unintentionally stimulate people who are NOT capable (of such a climb, dive, or whatever) to risk their lives? The individual must decide for themselves if such risks are worth a life - their own, a person who they might influence, OR the people who are tasked with their rescue. What do we actually gain vs. what we may lose...

Alcohol is a drug. How sad that this couple combined alcohol with a dangerous selfie. Not wise and certainly worth it.

Awesome story telling and images as always. Thanks !

This does not sound like a well-prepared trip. NOT AT ALL.

Sounded like you said “Wash their damned clothes!”😅

I’ve seen the movie of this

Excellent video! As always! Thank you!

“Hey guys, I want you to go sailing with me. But just know I could do this all alone if I had to…” “Wow, that sounds great, but uh, that last part - what do you mean?”

John's self destructive arrogance almost got himself and three others killed. He is 100% at fault. John got the fame he wanted for this situation all right, be it for the wrong reasons.

In my younger days, I was one of four crewing an old 40' wooden sailboat traveling from NC to the Caribbean. On the third day out, we encountered a storm with gale force winds and 25 foot waves. One rogue wave knocked us down and a second one turned us over, but the boat righted itself. We never experienced anything close to what the crew of the Rose-Noëlle did. But even at this much smaller scale "disaster", I learned what it was like to be in danger (even briefly) with no practical means of assistance or rescue. As the winds abated and the weather began to clear, we still had another prolonged period of sailing amidst huge rolling seas which was terrifying enough. The lesson learned was that attitude is a key survival mechanism. One has to focus on the tasks at hand; trimming sails, maintaining heading, preparing meals, etc. I had to force back instances of rising panic, which is a fruitless reaction to danger. Trying to maintain a sense of optimism when the sea and winds seem hell-bent on destroying the vessel isn't always easy, but it is vital.

Despite books and a movie, I had never heard of this story !! Awesome rendition 🙏

I thought we had learned from the past that it's not a good idea to consider a ship "unsinkable".

Another good one. Keep it up. I appreciate your commitment to creative story telling.

Best YT channel disaster stories, thank you 🙏

The capt should be lifetime banned from operating a boat in water ever again. the level of deliberate stupidity is immeasurable

Sunday morning here, awesome video! I was shocked at the ending!

A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thank you for all your hard work.

Sunday afternoon and watching your channel. Thanks 🙏🏼

Watching you from Zion National park this morning. We enjoy the beauty with our eyes and memories. Why risk your life for a selfie… so sad for this couple who were so full of life.. RIP

I wouldn't do this without a parachute so I could jump, fall awhile open at 2,000 feet and get to ground. She was helpless and too aggressive, too competitive trying to catch up.

This couple right after posting each of their selfies: “Let them eat cake!”

Gives another meaning to Drinking Under the ‘Influence’.

These guys were just exploring to get popular. As an avid hiker with rescue training they made some poor choices. Nature is unforgiving.

need Lord Jesus truth and love only xxx Bless u all

Absolutely do not install safety measures around natural hazards. Darwin Awards are there for a reason. Rest in Stoopid

I don't care for posting about my daily routines on social media. I'm a private person. I think it's ridiculous that people keep posting on social media every minute.

They were pushed by Red Beard. He lives in the woods of Iddywild California.

I can’t help but think about all the fun he could’ve had for years if it wasn’t for one thing you can’t fix stupid,
