Friends having fun in the lake

Men must have fun together for better mental health but within their limits. They must understand the boundaries of what they can and can’t do. This video is similar to It’s just a group of boys having fun when Men in Fun Face Disaster. What is common in both stories is that they were all a group of young men swimming and having fun and they try to prank or try to do more fun which takes someone away from us.

TW: A**ident, De*th

September 2017, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, a group of young friends were swimming in a lake when they accidentally disturbed electric eels hidden in the water. Two of them were electrocuted and pa**ed out instantly. Nearby people rushed to pull them out of the lake, saving their lives just in time.

Morals

Electric eels are not funny but can be dangerous to humans. They may not directly attack you and de*th is rare but who knows when the animals turn against you. The main risk of de*th arises from the electric shocks they produce.

Electric Shocks:

Electric eels can give you a shock of about 860 volts which may make you uncomfortable or can temporarily paralyze you. It can also cause Muscle spasms and Intense pain.

Potential Harm:

As I said earlier fatalities are rare but continuous shocks can cause respiratory or heart failure issues which is a serious threat especially if you have had a duel with the eel in the water.

Precautions:

Please do not come to any sort of physical contact with eels as they may give you an electric shock. As lake water is a good conductor of electricity you may lose your senses for a while and drown even in shallow water.

You must avoid fishing or swimming in any area where electric eels are present or where they live.

Just like the process of echolocation which bats use to navigate and hunt. Electric eels use electricity for navigation (low voltage), hunting, and defense (high voltage bursts).
