00:03Whoaaaaaaaaa!
00:04What are you doing now?
00:05I'm at the Carnival!
00:06Cotton candy, 5-hour energy!
00:08It tastes like a carnival, zero sugar!
00:10That actually sounds pretty good.
00:11Yeah, you want to take a ride with me?
00:13No, I don't do that.
00:14God bless.
00:23This is the terrifying moment a tourist was left dangling from a rope
00:28after he was on a waterfall rappelling tour.
00:32Stop it.
00:33Note to myself, don't let Amber sign you up
00:35for a waterfall rappelling tour.
00:37I don't know why anyone does any of this stuff
00:40where it's like not their thing.
00:41They're just like, oh yeah, I'm going to try this.
00:44I'm going to go down a building or I'm going to...
00:46Dramatic footage shows the thrill seeker
00:48suspended beside the waterfall
00:50as a powerful torrent of water.
00:55Torrent?
00:56What?
00:56I think torrent, right?
00:57Like a torrent?
00:58Torrent?
00:58Torrent.
00:59A torrent.
01:00Torrent of water.
01:01I knew it sounded weird.
01:02Yeah.
01:03Weewee weird.
01:04But you will torrent of water.
01:06It crashed over him,
01:08leaving his arms and legs thrashing in the water in China.
01:13He can be seen struggling against the force of the water
01:15while remaining attached to the rope high above the rocks
01:18at a waterfall in Nanzhou County.
01:21The tourist identified as P. Tang.
01:26Please let his first name be Poodie or Poon.
01:30Please.
01:31It's not, but it should be.
01:34One Poon Tang might have said
01:36that he had been trapped in the waterfall
01:38for around five minutes.
01:40Oh my God, there's a tune.
01:42Poon!
01:43Oh no, Poon!
01:44Poon!
01:45Oh my God, Poon!
01:47Poon!
01:49Someone help, Poon!
01:52Get this together though, Poon!
01:55Relax, Poon.
01:59Poon's a little extra.
02:01Come on, I think he's being dramatic.
02:04He's lost his shoe though.
02:11I mean, it's deadly, deadly rocks all around him.
02:15He are, he are, he are.
02:16Well, the tone up all is golden.
02:18Like those are sharp rocks.
02:22Tang later said he was trapped in the waterfall
02:25for about five minutes and repeatedly struggled to breathe.
02:28I think he's challenged.
02:29There's no reason why he's doing what he's doing.
02:31He's coming right down on him.
02:33I know, but still, just hold on.
02:35That forceful water though.
02:35Why does he keep flying around?
02:37Just stop, Poon.
02:39Hang on.
02:40Just hang on.
02:40That's how you get to hang on to the rope, Poon.
02:43There you go, Poon.
02:43There you go, Poon.
02:45I want to see you in a waterfall like this
02:47and see how well you do.
02:48I don't know.
02:49We don't want Dave in a waterfall.
02:51Can you imagine?
02:52That was crazy.
02:53Dave in a waterfall?
02:55Remember that lady who did all those spins?
02:58Yeah.
02:58I think he's freaking out.
03:00He's just got to relax for a second.
03:02Because he's in a waterfall.
03:04Just got to grab the rope.
03:06Grab the rope.
03:06And then you're not in the water anymore.
03:08That's it.
03:10You could get really disoriented maybe.
03:12I get it.
03:13He was the first person in the group
03:14to attempt the waterfall descent.
03:16He had specifically asked the group leader if it was safe.
03:19Oh yeah, why not?
03:20Tang said the leader told him there was no problems
03:22and he was selected to go first.
03:24You're glad to see that guy go first and that happened.
03:26Then you're just like, okay, I'll do it.
03:28We're good.
03:29Yeah.
03:29As soon as he entered the water,
03:30the force of the flow overwhelmed him.
03:32He was swept around while being suspended from the rope.
03:34He realized the flow was quite strong,
03:36but the instructor said, no, it's okay, go down.
03:39So they literally set it up so that the waterfall is pushing you,
03:44but you're supposed to stay on your feet
03:46against all those slippery rocks
03:49and rappel down.
03:51Poon Tang said when they took him to the place
03:54where they were getting off,
03:55the group leader didn't even ask about him at all.
03:57He said, only my teammates comforted me
03:58because I had multiple scratches and injuries.
04:00Oh yeah, I mean, he's a mess.
04:02The group stopped for food later,
04:03but he was too frightened to eat.
04:05What?
04:06Too frightened to eat.
04:07I mean, he might be a bit extra.
04:09Well, I'm sure he's lost his appetite.
04:10Frightened to eat.
04:13What are you doing that for anyway?
04:14Oh, just eat, Poon Tang, for God's sakes.
04:18I love it, actually.
04:20You see that, you don't think I should do that.
04:22He refused to leave the motor coach
04:24until the day's activities had finished.
04:26I'll tell you this.
04:27You've got to traumatize.
04:28Right now, I would, if I had to hike,
04:31I would just hike to the bottom of this thing.
04:35And I'd just wait for a Poon-like character
04:38to come on down and do this.
04:40What a show.
04:41Poon Tang was subsequently admitted
04:42to the psychological medicine department
04:44of a hospital for two days
04:45diagnosed with acute stress.
04:47Don't you think something might be wrong with Poon?
04:49This guy sucks.
04:51What do you think he was messed up before he went on?
04:55Yeah, I think something's up with him.
04:57The company is rejecting Poon Tang's account of the situation.
05:00They say, after he was hit by the water,
05:02our group leader quickly rescued him.
05:03The whole process took nearly three minutes.
05:05Our group leader also asked about his condition
05:07and checked his body.
05:08Besides a red mark around the waist,
05:09he was totally fine.
05:10So he's trying to get something out of this?
05:12Yeah, well, don't you think he's putting a show on?
05:14I feel like it's a show.
05:16All he had to do was grab the rope.
05:17That's it.
05:18And then, like, you're fine.
05:19It's like, Poon, why did you drop the rope?
05:21He didn't leave his motor home for two days, you said?
05:24Yeah.
05:25No, no, no.
05:26Poon, get out of there.
05:26That's not what I said.
05:28That's not what I said.
05:29That's not what he said.
05:30That's not what I said.
05:31I'm not reading.
05:32Poon Tang.
05:32No.
05:33It was three minutes.
05:34No, that's not what I said.
05:35He would not leave the tour company's motor coach
05:38for the rest of the day.
05:39Oh.
05:40All right.
05:40I might have been a little extra myself.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Ah!
05:44Like, that right there is so over the top.
05:46You guys were saying I was overreacting.
05:48I think it's crazy.
05:49Like, oh, just hold on.
05:50It's over the top.
05:51I think he was trying to get slightly hurt.
05:55On purpose?
05:56That's why I wanted to go first.
05:59You can go see this at DaveAndChuckTheFreak.com.
06:01If you want to see the Poon Tang we're talking about, it's up there.
06:04I wonder if the other people went.
06:07No, they can't.
06:08They're like, I don't care what happened to them.
06:09There's no way.
06:10And then, like, an old lady.
06:11Yeah, no, they say the rest of the tour went ahead.
06:13They went ahead.
06:14And they were all fine.
06:14I want to see video of them doing it.
06:16Totally fine.
06:17I'm sure they do this every day.
06:18I'm sure most people are fine.
06:19That's why no one.
06:20Just Poon Tang here is crazy.
06:21I want to see them get back up.
06:24We didn't get to see that part of it.
06:26Oh, I just realized what's over his ankle.
06:29It's his knee brace or whatever.
06:31This is his little knee pad.
06:32Oh, my God.
06:32He's got two knee pads on.
06:34He does.
06:34He is extra.
06:36He's crazy.
06:37Yeah, is that like the kinetic tape around his foot?
06:39Is that what that is?
06:41No, I think it's like straps of the knee pad.
06:44His knee brace slipped down.
06:44Yeah, and it's down.
06:46All the trauma made his knee brace fall down on his ankle.
06:49Like right there.
06:50It's so over the top.
06:51He looks like he's doing Cirque du Soleil.
06:52For God's sake.
06:53Just hang on for a second, Poon.
06:56He's screaming at him.
06:58You keep not grabbing the rope.
07:00I'm sure that was one angry instructor up there.
07:02Oh, my God.
07:02Hey, you better stop it.
07:04Oh, pin.
07:05Pin.
07:06Yeah, look.
07:07They're getting someone ready to go right up there.
07:09Yeah, they're like, whatever.
07:11We're going on.
07:12They probably can't even see him, right?
07:14Up at the top, the way they're positioned back there.
07:16Oh, maybe not.
07:16Oh, God.
07:17They probably can't even see.
07:18Maybe not.
07:19They just think he's down.
07:20Like, did you have a good time?
07:21How was it?
07:22Oh, my God.
07:25I saw a spider in circles for almost even like a 20 minute.
07:33They're like, send the lady down.
07:36They're like, yay, you're back.
07:38Oh, that was the most terrifying move of my life.
07:41I don't want any food, and I would like to find a trailer.
07:45Don't listen to Poontang.
07:46He's always so dramatic.
07:47I want to find a trailer to sit in.
07:53There's like a lady over there on the left, I think.
07:56Everything's fine.
07:58He's just crazy dramatic.
07:59That's what I think.
08:00He's like, right here, where he does the Superman right there.
08:03Like, he's not even trying to hold on to something.
08:05It's like, this guy's overreacting like a dummy.
08:08He's got a super clean ass now, though.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Yeah.
08:13He does.
08:15That was like the world's biggest bidet.
08:17Oh, my God.
08:19I'd be so angry with Poontang.
08:21Oh, sure.
08:22I just feel like there's a reason he went first.
08:25You're hamming this up, man.
08:26Ruining the day for everyone.
08:28Are they slowly sort of like lowering him down?
08:31I think now they were trying to pull him back up.
08:33Get him back up.
08:35I'd just launch him right into the bottom.
08:39Good luck.
08:40Next.
08:42Next.
