An 18-year-old boy from Louisiana was celebrating his recent high school graduation during a sunset cruise in the Bahamas Wednesday when he reportedly jumped overboard on a dare, triggering a large-scale search.

Cameron Robbins, who graduated from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge this past Sunday, was on a trip to the Bahamas with students from several local high schools, staying at Atlantis Paradise Island resort in Nassau, reported the station WAFB.

On Wednesday evening, just four hours after their arrival, Robbins and his friends went on a sunset party cruise.

According to witnesses, around 9:40 p.m., the 18-year-old — who was apparently acting on a dare — took a plunge off the boat into the ocean near Athol Island.

My spidey sense tells me that alcohol was involved.

That’s un-PC, but also very accurate and very funny.
Lol!

You can send a boy to school, but you can’t make him think.

I resigned myself to the fact that if I ever fell overboard, I was a goner.

Overboard at night? You're dead.

Not sure it is possible without a life jacket. That is a lot of dog paddling.

It’s less likely that he washed ashore somewhere like Tom Hanks in Cast Away and more likely that he is passing through the intestines of some aquatic creature. That’s based on him ‘disappearing from view suddenly’.

A nut jumped off the Pennybacker bridge in Austin, TX a few years ago. A ~130’ drop. He survived, thanks to a nearby boat watching the whole thing. He was picked up the moment he resurfaced and complained of a headache. Then he spent a brief recovery in the hospital.

The sad kid in the OP could have been knocked out or even broke his neck, depending on how far he fell.

With the aid of alcohol perhaps?

That’s the problem with the tropics, a lack of frigid flagpoles to make dares about.

I would be shocked and amazed if alcohol were not involved.
