Why You Shouldn't Dare Someone to Jump... Or Disney Rescues "Daring" Carnival Passenger!

In a story too weird not to be real, the Disney Wonder rescued a passenger who went overboard from the Carnival Sensation. Kudos go out to both ships for their quick action and efforts to save this passenger.

However, as the story is unfolding, in official statements, news reports and in tweets from onboard the ships, it is now being reported the rescued man was overheard arguing with a woman shortly before he was observed jumping from a balcony. In the course of that argument, he allegedly threatened to jump, to which she reportedly replied "go ahead." Of course, that's unofficial at this point, but considering the official statement from Carnival is that he was observed by ship's cameras jumping (not falling) from a balcony, the reports of a dare being involved is not outside the realm of possibility. Anyone want to bet that drugs and/or alcohol were involved as well?

More details can be found at the Cruise Log at Drama at Sea.

I've warned you all before about balcony bungee jumping without the bungee. Didn't think I needed to warn you about accepting dares on a ship. Guess I need to update the cautions, don't I?
