In more news about brave individuals, Briefly News previously reported that a video of a performer doing the unthinkable online left many South African social media users scratching their heads.

The daring act in which the man slides across a wet floor and straight into the open mouth of a crocodile was caught on film and sent shockwaves across various online platforms. A Twitter user, @ThabangTweezus, shared the clip with his followers, and boy was the fear palpable in the comments that followed.
