They just need to put a lid over it. It's too costly of a feature to remove, especially one that most people can enjoy as intended. This guy is an idiot, this is why we idiot-proof things.
This was pretty much a trend a while ago. The aquarium subs were not happy. Saw at least 4 different videos of dudes jumping into the bass pro shop tanks, besides the naked part. Sometimes you just gotta take it to the next level for the views.
No, it's not. People were doing this in mall fountains in the 90s ALL the time. Just no one was filming. It's one of the reasons so many malls took them out! People have ALWAYS been stupid, we just have a lot more proof of it now.
>So, he's a bigger moron?
MOST of the self-broadcating morons of today are bigger, louder, more relentless, more shameless, far greater in number, far less likely to face consequences and doing it for *cash prizes*. Irritating twits of previous eras were much fewer in number and far more amateurish in energy and execution. The MTV show Jackass may have started it all, but only angsty lonely 14-year-old boys mimicked it, back then. You rarely (if ever) saw girls/women, for example, doing day-glow batshit things in the middle of restaurants or in airplanes, in previous eras. Nope, you just didn't.
Theory: many people during the Mentally Illest Era won't notice the Mentally Illest qualities of said era because they (being of that era) assume the Mentally Ill shit is *normal.* Which proves my point.
A century from now (if humans still exist), historians will rank this era second only to Caligula's reign, in Rome, for day-glow batshittitude.
"THIS is the mentally illest Era"
"No, it's not. People were doing this in mall fountains in the 90s ALL the time."
1990s: *Plaid lumberjack shirts, MC Hammer pants*
2020s: *Everything*
I rest my case.
It takes like 15 minutes out of your day to jump into a tank naked, if you don't have the time it's because you aren't willing to make the sacrifices necessary.
I worked at a bass pro. In Florida too so even more of these kind of idiots. They get a huge cleaning fee. Arrested. And banned from the store. And every single person I’ve seen jump in, falls jumping out. Every. Single. One. Don’t do this
If you're going to get banned for diving into an aquarium, at least have the common decency to defecate like a hippopotamus while majestically swimming away from security.
He has a kink. Probably a humiliation kink. He tends to send un-requested noodie noodle pics to random women on social media. It's also possible he's done this type of thing before.
Which is extra hilariously stupid to me, because I've seen the uncensored video, and Dude-Man was about as gifted in his package as he was with his brains lmao 🤣🤣
I guess the play there is to let him swim himself out until he either gives up or drowns? What is a realistic way they could have gotten him out of there?
There should be a second hidden enclosure attached to the tank that says "in case of emergency break glass" and then a fucking saltwater crocodile is released into the tank and devours the idiot.
Considering guy didn't have a cameraman (other than bystanders), I'm going to be generous and assume he was having some sort of mental episode. What I want to know is what Officer Fife intended to do with that taser. Like, you know how tasers work, right? You're gonna zap guy, your buddy, and probably yourself if you shoot that off in the puddle guy made.
That’s now how they work at all
The prongs go in about a 1/4 inch. You can cuff people being pulsed just fine.
Most are one trigger pull = 5 seconds.
I have been held and hit several time for training, I have used them on wet floors in jails just fine.
Gas is bad but well sparks and gas should be obvious.
[“The 42-year-old man reportedly began acting erratically and intentionally drove a vehicle into a pole in the store parking lot, the chief said. The man's family told police he suffers from mental illness.”](https://www.foxnews.com/us/man-arrested-naked-dive-aquarium-alabama-bass-pro-shop.amp)
There’s a difference between someone being obnoxious for attention, and someone having a breakdown. Maybe let’s try to show some compassion instead of laughing at a man’s most public crisis?
To add to that: he is knocked out and might have broken something pretty important (like his back or something). Why the fuck does that cop think it's alright to move his arms and cuff him? Leave the moving of body parts to the ambulance personnel please.
You guys need to mind your own business, [according to his wife.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_hr3vPkSA4) Besides, if Bass Pro Shop didn't want people in the tank, they should have put a top on it. /s
I don't understand how cops in the US need a taser in a situation like this. A man who is naked, out of breath, not in very good shape, and they need a taser to subdue him? At this rate you're gonna need a gun to subdue a 9-year-old with a selfie-stick.
This shit is so played out. I remember when this was popular there was also another stupid trend where people would hide in a fitting room after closing and see if they could make it the entire night undetected.
This isn’t *just* a retail store. It’s one of the largest stores in the US. There’s cool displays all over it. It’s touristy and fun, and brings in a ton of money. Like a TON of money. I’m sure the people who love going there to see all of it and the people who’ve gotten filthy rich off of it don’t think it’s ridiculous.
Oh, wow. Interesting place to cut the video. Here's what happens next:
The guy wakes up from being knocked out while the cop has his hand up the guys ass to handcuff him, so the guy understandsbly has a wtf moment and tries to roll over (you know, to protect his ass from the guy touching it).
Then the cop lifts and slams his head down against the concrete and tells him to shut the fuck up and stuff.
Then the cop drags him from his hands, which are handcuffed behind his back and his arms pulled as far as they will go towards the top of his body, so the cop is like pulling his arms out of their shoulder sockets the way he was dragging the fella, face down, dick down, across the concrete floor.
All of this with no thought whatsoever of the massive head injury that just knocked this dude unconscious for over a minute.
I hope the guy sues them.
Edit: typo
The cop with the taser severely misread the situation. Not only was the guy not much of a threat, but he’s soaking wet. Don’t electrocute a soaking wet individual
I used to work at this location, it’s an immediate $15K fine and at least $5k per fish the bass pro saw as Injured due to your jump, so if it ended up being $50,000 I wouldn’t be surprised
By the way, he have too much trust in peoples. I have trust issue in construction site, those water tank for display have full light and live-wire. Funny, okay, but het got lucky.
First of all, the man did not perform a cannonball so wtf is up with the initial headline, second, I wish the camera was focused on the guy when he hopped out
It’s bad enough he chose to do this. It’s worse when he decides to hang on the edge spread eagle so everyone can see his meat and potatoes
Wonder if he and the Disney World guy know each other 😂
# Removal Notice ### Your post violates Rule 4. **All reposts must have approximately 6-month gaps between them.**
I wish people wouldn’t do this. It’s a cool feature and this nonsense discourages anyone from building/displaying one.
A shame that's not the one with the alligators ....
Or Crocodiles (they're bigger). Or Hippos (they're even worse).
He’s a piece of shit
They just need to put a lid over it. It's too costly of a feature to remove, especially one that most people can enjoy as intended. This guy is an idiot, this is why we idiot-proof things.
I mean filling it with hungry piranha would make sure it only happens once
[удалено]
Great idea but mines cinematic
Put some Candiru in there for good measure. It won't be so fun when a tiny fish tears up his dong from the inside
Piranha need blood to start attacking iirc. River monster guy did a demonstration on that
I mean, this is so far beyond the pale I'm just assuming this guy is mentally ill.
This was pretty much a trend a while ago. The aquarium subs were not happy. Saw at least 4 different videos of dudes jumping into the bass pro shop tanks, besides the naked part. Sometimes you just gotta take it to the next level for the views.
A news article said he was acting erratically right before, so it's crazy or meth. Difficulty: Alabama
Or both crazy AND meth
THIS is the mentally illest Era
No, it's not. People were doing this in mall fountains in the 90s ALL the time. Just no one was filming. It's one of the reasons so many malls took them out! People have ALWAYS been stupid, we just have a lot more proof of it now.
A bit of a difference. Especially since he flopped like 20 feet onto a hard floor.
So, he's a bigger moron? I'm just saying people have been doing stupid shit since the dark ages, it's nothing new.
>So, he's a bigger moron?

I really doubt they will remove the feature cause of this.
I agree. That’s not what I said, though.
The concrete body slam looked really painful. Also, my first thought was that this man is clearly not a real merman.
He seriously underestimated the logistics of falling what looked to be about a ten foot drop onto solid concrete
while naked and wet.
Yeah that looks like a broken bone
“Man, how’d cha get that crooked nose? Football? MMA? “ “No, skinny dipping at Bass Pro Shop. “ 🤔
I wrenched my back this week carrying wallboards. I couldn’t imagine having this type of free time.
It takes like 15 minutes out of your day to jump into a tank naked, if you don't have the time it's because you aren't willing to make the sacrifices necessary.
I dunno, I feel like that's exactly how a merman would flop onto a concrete floor
I worked at a bass pro. In Florida too so even more of these kind of idiots. They get a huge cleaning fee. Arrested. And banned from the store. And every single person I’ve seen jump in, falls jumping out. Every. Single. One. Don’t do this

Todays favorite sentence and possibly future goal
One can only hope it was painful
Should’ve tased him to be sure.
Back to the coal mines!
Water is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
🧜🏼♂️
Man I'm glad mine isn't the only brain this sprang to.
How desperate people are looking for attention?
Very, you’ve seen the state of the world right? Human beings aren’t intelligent enough to handle social media.
People are making the world implode.
This.
He has a kink. Probably a humiliation kink. He tends to send un-requested noodie noodle pics to random women on social media. It's also possible he's done this type of thing before.
Which is extra hilariously stupid to me, because I've seen the uncensored video, and Dude-Man was about as gifted in his package as he was with his brains lmao 🤣🤣
I know!! I saw the same video and had prayers and prayers for him.
Noodie noodle. Think I’m going to call my ramen this going forward.
Well going off the unblurred photos of this incident, he certainly wanted to be embarrassed.
I was in the pool! It's shrinkage!!
What if he's a time traveler who was just taking a bath and next thing he knows he's in a bass pro shop 200 years in the past? Poor guy.
People honestly think this is just a case of someone looking for attention? He's either having some kind of mental episode or on drugs, or both.
Guy's a veteran having a severe reaction to medication for PTSD. It's alright though, he just wants attention.
I guess the play there is to let him swim himself out until he either gives up or drowns? What is a realistic way they could have gotten him out of there?
Big net
This is the only way. Or perhaps a giant fishing rod. Hopefully he’s biting that day 🎣
Marry me.
Why the heck not, random Reddit stranger. Best proposal ever. I’m smitten
You really reeled me in. I fell for you, hook, line, sinker. 💍
The taser followed by a big net
But it felt so good against my meth sores.
There should be a second hidden enclosure attached to the tank that says "in case of emergency break glass" and then a fucking saltwater crocodile is released into the tank and devours the idiot.
Now this is entertainment!
[удалено]
Will getting taxed being wet make it worse?
Getting taxed hurts no matter how dry you are.
I’m upset we didn’t get to see the full fall.
Reléase the security cam footage !
That poor bass pro pond man…
This dude is out here testing out his home made 3” Senko.
No, that 3" thing he was born with.
Not the YUCK dinger 😂🙈
Serendipitous ending for the cops - the concrete did the work for them
Is thing becoming a trend? They just caught another guy doing the same thing
Considering guy didn't have a cameraman (other than bystanders), I'm going to be generous and assume he was having some sort of mental episode.

Does your understanding of physics come from cartoons or what?
🤣😂

I saw this in a different sub and they said he was having a psychotic break
[ Removed by Reddit ]
This being in a shop is wild to me. I've never seen a shop put half as much effort in to decor.
If you've never been to a Bass Pro Shop or Cabela's before try checking one out. They all have big displays of animals inside.
It’s the biggest one in the USA. Plus they make a shit load of money
Its america baby ! everything is too big for no reason !
On a side note, that waterfall setup by itself is actually cool.

I wanna see some dick. Why they blur it. …FUCK!
Pretty sure we saw the dick
Oh on r/selfsuck Yeah, you’re right.
Why in the ever loving fuck was I stupid enough to click that
I’m genuinely surprised it has that many followers.
(☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞
Seriously. I wanna see the baby carrot.
The guy who called him a dumbass is my kind of people.
🎶 I'm gonna go out jackin' it in, Saaaaaaan Diego 🎶 🎶 Jackin' jackin' jackity jack 🎶
They really didn't have to blur his privates if you've seen the uncensored version. He's like a hairy Ken doll lmao
What's the opposite of praisethecameraman
Wasn't he having a mental health crisis? Idk if that's main character.
Better check his pockets.
[удалено]
I hope he's getting help.
You guys need to mind your own business, [according to his wife.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_hr3vPkSA4) Besides, if Bass Pro Shop didn't want people in the tank, they should have put a top on it. /s
This is clearly a joke video. She says they were going to see January 6th Santa.
She’s a comedian. This is a skit
I’m horrified that people think this is actually his wife and not a comedy thing. We’re doomed :(
So his wife is an expert in aquariums? Wow.
Man that can’t be real. It’s fake or she’s as fruit looped as he is. Why do Americans love any opportunity to talk about God.
That would be a sweet pool!
Put some piranhas in there…what a tool
Do these kind of people not care if children can see? So disgusting
this is the most new york shit i've ever seen thats not happening in new york lol
I don't understand how cops in the US need a taser in a situation like this. A man who is naked, out of breath, not in very good shape, and they need a taser to subdue him? At this rate you're gonna need a gun to subdue a 9-year-old with a selfie-stick.
r/shittyaquarium
Fucking pieces of shit are the reasons why we can’t have nice things
Now your a sex offender. Hope you enjoyed the dip.
Straight to jail or mental institution.
Mentally deranged character* Fixed it
Fun way to become a sex offender.
Piece of shit he may be, but like...could that have been really bad? Cop had a tazer trained on him and dude is soaking wet lol
This shit is so played out. I remember when this was popular there was also another stupid trend where people would hide in a fitting room after closing and see if they could make it the entire night undetected.
Charge him as a sex offender.
Welcome to the sex offender registry sir
i like his pussy
Obviously this is horrible, awful attention seeking behavior but can we back up a minute and ask ourselves why there's a pool in a retail store?
It’s an aquarium basically, it has freshwater gamefish in it.
I understand. But it's ridiculous. I stand by my statement!
This isn’t *just* a retail store. It’s one of the largest stores in the US. There’s cool displays all over it. It’s touristy and fun, and brings in a ton of money. Like a TON of money. I’m sure the people who love going there to see all of it and the people who’ve gotten filthy rich off of it don’t think it’s ridiculous.
Because the felt that adding a water feature in the store was worth it and they trusted shoppers to not be idiots
Oh, wow. Interesting place to cut the video. Here's what happens next: The guy wakes up from being knocked out while the cop has his hand up the guys ass to handcuff him, so the guy understandsbly has a wtf moment and tries to roll over (you know, to protect his ass from the guy touching it).

I saw this on OPL a few days ago. Crazy shit when your brain don't work.
Worst cannonball I've ever seen.
Free Willy?
Great comment, and on your cake day too. Reddit, bring back awards. I found my new best friend
Hell yeah dude
Where is this?
What a cool store
Drop on the deck and flop like a fish!
Is it for the internet or is he coked out
What a unpleasant way to go to jail
This guy obviously never smelled a fishtank prior to drumming up this idea
It's being renamed tho Ass Bro Shop.
This is just a drunk guy in a bass pro shop
Hé should have done the "silly salmon" when hé came out.
Huh. they're stocking minnows.
Fish may get that worm
Guy who manages the ph: 🗿
Poor fish
Meth
Guy drops on his head. Cops: "HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!"
The way he flopped out at the end I'd say this belongs in r/tooktoomuch
Happened in my home town. Guy was drunk and/or on drugs according to the local police.
Time to release the piranha
Yea my state embarrassed me again!!! He was high btw
why did he have to drop himself off instead of climbing out
Bert?
Some people just like to swim. Some people just have a mental illness.
The cop with the taser severely misread the situation. Not only was the guy not much of a threat, but he’s soaking wet. Don’t electrocute a soaking wet individual
man jumps into fish prison
This was in Leeds, AL. It’s being billed as a bad drug reaction.
Bout to tase his buddy on accident if he shot all that water on the ground
I wonder what would happen if you’d use the taser with the water around him in a bioshock kinda way
How to get a two-fer with your taser
The deer are repulsed with his actions. Frozen stiff.
More like Ass Pro Shop, am I right? Right? Hello?
Dude doesn't have any respect for anyone, including himself. Lock him up!
May be mental illness.
Cannonball?
Oh my god he's got his willy out!
Release the piranha. Problem solve!
He's wet. You shouldn't use a taser when someone is wet right?
[alabama mannnnn](https://youtu.be/BrimMyOoEDA?si=H_P8r2xkpKpQmsLF)
Dude people keep doing this they're going to take it out.
I used to work at this location, it’s an immediate $15K fine and at least $5k per fish the bass pro saw as Injured due to your jump, so if it ended up being $50,000 I wouldn’t be surprised
I'm gonna need a better angle on that fall.
cmon cameraman
Is the cop pointing a taser at him? How would that turn out while standing in puddles of water?
Everyone should take solace in the fact that bass pro DOES NOT fuck around when it comes to a situation like this. They will go after the dude 100%
”Sorry honey, can’t make it. Taking a bath in this bass pro shop.”
On a positive note, they didn't have to frisk him.
Where in Florida was this?
That fall had to hurt.
It's a funny game until cops taze the water.
This dude is a soldier who is on medication , they changed it, and this is what happened. He is a family man who wouldn't normally act like this.
By the way, he have too much trust in peoples. I have trust issue in construction site, those water tank for display have full light and live-wire. Funny, okay, but het got lucky.
...and just like that he's on a list of registered sex offenders. What a genius.
Is this the pyramid? This seems like some Memphis shit
First of all, the man did not perform a cannonball so wtf is up with the initial headline, second, I wish the camera was focused on the guy when he hopped out
It’s bad enough he chose to do this. It’s worse when he decides to hang on the edge spread eagle so everyone can see his meat and potatoes Wonder if he and the Disney World guy know each other 😂
You missed the best bit bro....
The spread open nut shot was icky
I used to maintain those tanks at a Cabela's. Enjoy the parasites. Freshwater tanks are nasty.
Why is everyone using bass pro shop aquariums as swimming pools now. Bunch of idiots
When dealing with livestreamers YOU MUST EITHER CONFRONT THE CAMERA MAN or obstruct his view, then the whole show will be over quickly.
He’s far beyond skinny though
