VIDEO: Man Jumps from Royal Caribbean Ship; Gets Banned For Life

Jason · January 17, 2019

A group of men aboard a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship got banned from the cruise line for life, after one of them jumped from the 11th floor of the ship while it was docked in the Bahamas.

Nick Naydev, 27, of Vancouver, Wash., took to his Instagram on Friday to post a video of himself jumping off of his room’s balcony from the Symphony of the Seas ship into the ocean. The video, which was recorded by his friend Konstantin Kryachun, captures the men standing on the balcony and laughing as Naydev gets ready to take the leap. In midair, Naydev begins to flail his limbs before he ultimately hits the water.

The video, which was recorded by his friend Konstantin Kryachun, captures the men standing on the balcony and laughing as Naydev gets ready to take the leap. In midair, Naydev begins to flail his limbs before he ultimately hits the water.

In the videos, Kryachun expresses his disappointment with the cruise line. He tells Yahoo Lifestyle that he and his friends didn’t even consider the consequences prior to the jump, they just captured it in a bid for viral fame.

“He’s jumped from those kind of heights before, and we didn’t really care about the consequences with the cruise company,” he explains. “We just wanted to get a video of it and make it go viral.”

Now, the men might have a viral hit on their hands, and some people are calling Naydev a legend. However, there are plenty of others expressing the implications of the situation and explaining just how dangerous his exploit was.

“Dumbest thing I’ve ever seen,” someone commented, while another asked, “Did you understand before you jumped that you could easily die doing that?”

“Just so you know, if you were dead, the same people calling you legend would be laughing at you and calling you stupid,” an additional comment read. “You did something stupid and are lucky to be alive to laugh at it, you’re not a legend.”

Representatives from Royal Caribbean Cruises have also called the incident “stupid.”

“This was stupid and reckless behavior, and he and his companions have been banned from ever sailing with us again,” a spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “We are exploring legal action.”

OK, so I had to see this for myself and found the video on YouTube of these ridiculous, thoughtless idiots looking for stupid ways to have their kicks. What's the matter - not enough entertainment to keep you busy on Symphony of the Seas??? Doesn't say if the jerk was allowed back on board to get his stuff - I hope not. And how do you get back on board, when there's no record of you getting off? Or did he think this through beforehand and take his key? ?(warning: foul language):
