He had a literal fear of drowning . You dont get over that rational fear by endangering yourself doing the thing you are afraid of . If you are deathly afraid of rubber ducks , then sure , go jump in a pile of rubber ducks because they can ' t kill you . Water when you can ' t swim is renowned for being a drowning hazard , it ' s literally impossible to not know this and be 13 in britain unless you live your life in an empty bucket . He ' s a kid sure , but I don ' t give a shit . If I stood at the ledge of a cliff , I wouldn ' t jump off to get over my fear of heights . That ' s how moronic this persons thought process was . People need to be responsible for their own stupid actions , no matter the age within reason . It ' s savage but I ' m not upset there is one less idiot in the world .
