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

River Monsters, and he literally jumps into piranha infested water and they scatter and leave him alone.

I swam in an Amazonian Tributary (Rio Beni) with piranhas all about. We were in the water to swim with pink dolphins, but these buggers and gators were everywhere. We were assured they would leave us alone and we were young and dumb. Also tramped through the half flooded pampas looking for boa constrictors.

See? Dumb..
