“Rather Take My Chances With Sharks”: Mzansi Trolls Lifeguards After Epic Fail at Durban Beach

• A group of lifeguards became the talk of the town after they had an epic fail at a beach in Durban
• The group can be seen in a speedboat bouncing about while onlookers watch in amusement and shock
• South Africans shook their heads and laughed at the clip but were disappointed by the lack of professionalism

Some lifeguards were the butt of a joke online after a clip of them going through an epic fail made the rounds. It is believed that the group was trying to save someone, only for them to lose control of the speedboat they were in, making it capsize.

The heroes have arrived

Facebook user celeworld8 shared the clip with a caption that read:

"Meanwhile in Durban, life saver or drowners?"

Most commenters went with the latter, with some onlookers to the incident watching in amazement. Judging by the clip, it looks like whoever was supposed to be saved was either left behind at the beginning of the video or went under with the speedboat near the shore. You can watch it here.
