A Florida Man Held On To A Drawbridge For Dear Life As It Raised To Let Boats Go By (VIDEO)
Narcity Miami ^ | March 29, 2023 | Jenna Kelley

A Florida man was caught on video hanging from a drawbridge for dear life as the bridge separated and was raised to let boats go by on the Intracoastal. It happened on Monday afternoon in Brickell City Centre and one TikToker was watching the events unfold from his window.

Creator Michael Angelo Ball (@the.mikeball) was recording the guy as the bridge was raised and lowered back down, and he couldn't believe his eyes. He mentioned there were no police in sight.

"Just another day in Miami... 😳," he captioned his video.

I originally read this as “goats go by” and was very confused. I need some coffee.

A RI guy was just killed falling through an open bridge in Milwaukee. It still somehow manages to happen.

Wasn’t an elderly woman just recently killed when one of those bridges lifted and she fell onto the pavement?

There is robot voice audio at the link but no video, even though the link claims there is video.

Not only that, but there’s supposed to be a set schedule. Obviously, DEI employment is going to cost lives.

There was a 79-year-old woman with a bicycle in Florida in February last year crossing a drawbridge. She fell 50 feet to the pavement below and died when the bridge opened. The bridge tender did not see her. Awful.

She had guts and strength that I wouldn't have - I can't see myself riding or even walking a bike at that age.
