PS: The mushy thing they’re standing on might be a cluster of Giant Salvinia, a floating water plant that can create extemely buoyant “islands” up to 60 cm thick.

EDIT: More likely a floating mat (Thanks again!)

    Given its been identified as likely being a floating mat, which are apparently environmentally protected and present a risk of drowning… I’d say there’s a lot of stupid choices happening in this video.

      I don’t go to natural bodies of water much. Why does it have a drowning risk?

      As someone in a warm climate, I’d be terrified of brain eating amoebas. Based on the foliage in the background though I’d bet they live in a cooler climate with much less risk of that.

        I may mistake it with something but basically, it can trap you underwater. It’s muddy so you can get stuck and…well. Recall the part where they stand on slowly sinking part.
