Stunt gone wrong: Man banned from Royal Caribbean for 11th-floor leap
Thrill-seeker leaps from cruise ship
Man jumps off 11th-floor balcony, banned from Royal Caribbean for life
A 27-year-old man from Vancouver, Washington has been banned for life from Royal Caribbean cruises after he jumped more than 100 feet off his 11th-floor balcony into the ocean. Nick Naydev posted a video of the stunt to his Instagram account, which quickly went viral. In the video, Naydev can be seen climbing over the railing of his balcony and jumping into the water below. He landed hard on his feet and was unable to walk for days.
Royal Caribbean said in a statement that Naydev's actions were "reckless and dangerous" and that he had violated the company's safety policies. The company said that Naydev and his friends had been banned from all future Royal Caribbean cruises.
Naydev has not commented on the incident, but his friends have said that he is a thrill-seeker who enjoys pushing the limits. They said that he had been planning the jump for months and that he had taken precautions to ensure his safety.
The incident has raised questions about the safety of cruise ships and the responsibility of cruise lines to prevent passengers from engaging in dangerous activities. Some experts have called for cruise lines to do more to educate passengers about the risks of jumping off balconies and to provide more safety measures to prevent such incidents from happening.
