Think you are having a bad day?

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section
of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire.
The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba
tanks on his back, flippers, and face mask.

A postmortem test revealed that the man died not from burns,
but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a
positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine
how a fully clothed diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.

It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving
off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters,
seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, had called
in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was
dipped from the ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire.

You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like
Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing the breast stroke
in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
 
Urban legend, and an old one to boot.
 
It has been discussed here before, search on 'fire diver', I think.

There is a web site out there dedicated to fire divers, pretty funny.

No worries. It's a pretty good one, and so's the site that Pipedope mentioned: http://www.firediving.com
 
txscubagirl:
so, is this not really true? gosh..i am really gullable!


Well, I wouldnt say it isnt completely false...there is always someone dumb enough to want to try dangerous stuff like this....
 
That is one messed up site. Very entertaining.
 
This site is so funny, it reminds me of my husband when he teased his mom, "I'm going to start sky diving with my scuba gear on, into the ocean, mother." She about freaked out, because, given his penchant for "extreme" sports, she did not doubt him one bit. But firediving, that's a whole different breed, eh?
