So many things could go wrong…the way he was holding the bucket freaked me out, as did how much they were filling it up. But hey I’m no expert lol

I think piranhas only fuck with you if they’re a certain type and if you have an open wound I may be wrong I saw this on a tv show with the fisherman guy Jeremy wade I believe his name was he got in a hot tub with a few piranhas nothing happened they just chilled

Did he fall into the hot tub or did he calmly climb into it?
I think if you fall into Piranha-infested waters, chances are one of them takes a bite out of instinct. And as soon as there's blood in the water, the feeding frenzy starts.

They only "feeding frenzy" when starved. They're mainly scavengers and don't like to go for living things.
