Two Idiots Jumped Into The Ocean In The Middle Of A Massive Storm

    It goes without saying, but do not try this yourself.

    The U.K. and Ireland have been struck by strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding as Storm Desmond rages across the region.

    The Met Office issued a red warning across parts of the region for wind "strong enough across many northern areas, to bring down some trees, and perhaps cause damage to buildings," said Chief Operational Meteorologist Frank Saunders in a statement.

    People have died and towns have been evacuated as a result of the storm.

    But three teens decided it would be a nice time for a day at the beach along the coast of Galway, Ireland.

    Cathal Devlin posted video to Facebook showing two of the three teens jumping into the sea as waves whip across the pier.

    Devlin, who lives in Galway, posted the video "to highlight the absolute madness and stupidity of what these youngsters are doing."

    "I would like to make it very clear that I or anyone else do not condone or see any 'macho' side to this incident," Devlin wrote in the post. "In a couple of hours this video clip has received 168,000 views across the globe and everyone is of the same opinion 'fools', 'eejits', 'morons' and worse. Count your blessings and do not, ever, repeat this type of 'stunt'."

    In the video, two boys jump around at the top of the pier in swimsuits as another in a raincoat hesitates on the dock.

    Meanwhile his friends prance around at the top of the pier like it's just another cheery day in Ireland.

    Then one backflips into the ocean.

    Not to be outdone, the other one jumps too.

    They appear to come out of it alive.

    "I do not know if they are strong swimmers or not," wrote Devlin. "That is not the case, if any one of them got into difficulties there was no one there to do anything for them. The voluntary and rescue services are kept busy enough without having to worry about this type of stupid behaviour."

    BuzzFeed News has reached out to Devlin for further comment.

    The Met Office could not be immediately reached by BuzzFeed News for comment.
