    u/Golden-James, we have no idea if your submission fits r/SweatyPalms or not. There weren't enough votes to determine that. It's up to the human mods now....!

    I don't know, that one guy seemed to have easily pushed the boat away from the wall. Maybe it would hurt but I'm pretty sure the dummy could've just pushed it too when he was close to the wall

    I doubt one guy stopped the ferry or whatever it is coming closer. The mass is too great. It would more likely be the skipper changing direction by manipulating the controls. This guy was very lucky.

    I think that it's possible, it wasnt moving fast and it also isnt a cruise ship

    And you have the upwards force of the water itself working with you, I a lso agree this is possible

    1, the boat may be tapered on the underside, so it might not be the end of the world if you dont panic.

    2, there's bumper tires, but he was hoisted up right beside one.

    3, JUST WAIT FOR THE GODDAMN BOAT TO DOCK

    As for your "3", how else would he get ahead by 10 seconds?!

    How would the taper help? Isn’t it tapering away from the dock, so the guy still gets trapped between the hull and dock?

    Tapered always helps just make sure there is a flange

    Maybe swimming down then across to avoid getting crushed by the boat.

    If that's your only option, then I guess so. Otherwise it sounds like you might get juuuust crushed enough to still die.

    I think worst case you just hold your breath and swim under til you find somewhere to dock.

    Orr just stay there and wait to get crushed to death

    Crushed him alive is a bit much, you’d be surprised at how much mass you can push around in the absence of friction. I’ve spun 140,000 lbs with a decent push.

    He could have just swam quickly out of the gap to the open water. Probably had time if he was an average swimmer.

    I’ve known of two people in our community who have been killed doing exactly this. I think this guys is lucky, but if you’re not lucky, you’re most certainly going to be extremely unlucky.
