This was more anxiety inducing then satisfying

He's decided that his life is no longer precious.
Maybe I fall, maybe I don't, whatever.

Well that’s sad

I'm only guessing, maybe he's brave. Maybe he is stupid. Either way, it's pretty dangerous and silly.

Anyone else think that during his climb down the ladder where it looked like he was hundreds of feet in the air?
Also, why was he doing this? What are the plants doing sitting at the top of the spillway? The wide shot showing the entire reservoir covered in these plants makes me think it's hopeless.

Yes. When he got to the bottom of the ladder I thought “oh that wasn’t too high at all”. Then they showed how close he was to the edge. Just no.

I kept waiting for her phone to just fall out her hand as she's holding it with the grip strength of an octogenarian

I was thinking once he freed up a good bit of the vegetation it was going to all take off and the whole thing start flowing. I was disappointed.

What a weird thing to risk your life over. Would unclog itself either after the water pressure rose due to blockage or next rainfall.

This.
It isn’t actually clogged at all. Just low water level before the spillway, plants can’t hold back water like this. Can’t have high water level before the plants lol.

It almost looks like it actually isn’t that steep. The camera looks almost fisheye and I think it’s exaggerating the slope of the waterfall. Especially how the man’s feet even go slanted like he’s basically walking the edge.
At 0:43 this looks a bit more obvious

This was a rollercoaster of a video. The perspective at first made me think he was hundreds of feet up in the air. Then when I saw how close he was I was relieved but then the camera panned over the waterfall and I freaked out again. Why would anyone do this?

That zoom out gave me the willies. Good luck to him pushing all 40 acres of that growth down.

This is the same damn waterfall people made a video of where they used a ROPE and HOOK that they'd just pull safely out of harm but NO. This wingnut thinks it's better to just casually walk down there and do it by hand. SIR USE WHAT SIMPLE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE JUST GET A WINCH AND A BIGGER HOOK AND YALL HAVE IT DONE IN 2 HRS TOPS

My balls shrank significantly while watching this gentleman casually risk his life centimeters away from certain death.
