Two influencers are dead after refusing to wear lifejackets on a speedboat that sank off the Brazilian coast – because they didn’t want the safety gear to ruin their tan in photos, according to police.
Aline Tamara Moreira de Amorim, 37, and Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria, 27, ignored pleas to wear their life preservers when an overcrowded boat taking them back to shore from a yacht party capsized in the rough waters of Devil’s Throat along the Iguazu River, according to local reports.
“Some didn’t want to put them on because they were taking selfies,” Sao Vincente Police Commissioner Marcos Alexandra Alfino said, based on testimony by the boat’s captain.

At first I thought, most people don’t wear life vests on boats especially yachts. But, then I saw this was in Brazil where they host big wave surfing competitions. And this so called ‘yacht’ had a 5 person capacity.

“natural” floatation devices?“
They fill those things with saline in silicon bags. Wonder why they don’t use a styrofoam type material to actually provide flotation support.

Also the boat was overweight because the captain took on more passengers than the boat was rated for.
Hit a wave and capsized.

In what capacity were they influencers? I'm guessing it wasn't boating safety.

They already appeared to have been equipped with ‘self’ floatation devices... They just didn’t work very well.

I can hardly think of a description more embarrassing than “influencer”.
To: ChicagoConservative27
Anyone with the job title, “Influencer” needs to disappear.
Also, you can’t fix stupid.
