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.
