EXCLUSIVE: A group of students tried to physically stop Cameron Robbins from jumping off a Bahamas cruise ship last week after he was reportedly dared to take the leap, Fox News Digital has learned.
Robbins, 18, was on Blackbeard's Revenge sunset cruise with several hundred high school graduates from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and jumped overboard into what authorities called "shark-infested" waters near the uninhabited Athol Island, northeast of Nassau, around 9:30 p.m. on May 24.
A woman whose son was friends with Robbins and on the boat at the time told Fox News Digital that several students tried to grab Robbins before he took the plunge, but he broke free.

But Cameron couldn’t fly, Cameron Died!
I have seen the video too. The ship/booze cruise boat was not going fast. He did not jump from much of a height either. I was waiting for someone to throw him some kind of life preserver, but no one ever did. It is hard to believe that the captain would have not marked their position on GPS and been able to return to the exact same spot. Unless the sharks took him that fast.
The sharks call it dumb kid infested waters.
At least he impressed the girls, for a while...
what a bad ass
I was on a booze cruise in Boston Harbor once when some idiot decided to take his shirt off and do pull-ups on the outside of the boat superstructure/hull to impress the chicks.
3 hours later we finally docked after having to pull the d-bag out of the water.
The two stories I have read on this are rather deficient in information about the level of intoxication the boy had and just what transpired between him and the others for the period before he jumped overboard.
Love me some Jim Carroll.
Yep.. That’s a pirate ship.
Jim Carroll?
= the absolute prototype Darwin Award
Yep
Dumbest drunk thing we ever did was piss off a donkey which proceeded to kick our ass out of his turf!😀
I’m glad to hear I was not the only ‘yut what made some stupid decisions. All this time I thunked I was different.
idiot.
Sharks mistook him for chum.
Acid.
He does not look like the color that the sharks have been imprinted on.
Maybe they have been starving and had to eat 2nd choice.
I did see what looks like a white ring life preserver in the water, maybe 15 feet forward of him. He didn’t swim towards it though.
When I was in the Navy, we did man-over-board maneuvers all the time, in winter and heavy seas and in darkness. I was on sonar or course plotting on a projection table. When the alarm came, we’d mark the position, switch to the highest resolution projector head and guide the ship back to the marked position. No GPS back then.
Happily, we never lost a man :-)
Black Pearl it ain't but, it sure has a rep of it's own now.
LOL! I see a Larson cartoon right there.
I don’t remember who it was who said the waters are so shark infested, to this day, because so many slaves were thrown overboard. Rush use to play the clip on his show. It was from his TV show days.
