Twitch streamer nearly drowns after almost getting sucked under a boat Pajalockk, Twitch \/ FreepikTwitch continues to give viewers incredible, unscripted, and sometimes downright frightening moments, thanks to its slew of IRL streamers \u2013 one of which had a near-death experience on camera. Polish Twitch streamer Patryk \u2018pajalockk\u2019 Zawadzki was broadcasting his excursion in a canoe when he came upon a freighter as he paddled down a river. While he appeared to make an attempt at paddling around the boat, his canoe ended up hitting its aft starboard quarter, leading the smaller craft into a dangerous current that overturned the canoe \u2013 appearing to get sucked up underneath the freighter due to the strength of the current. 600The scene erupted in a moment of brief panic as the streamer seemed to be caught beneath the freighter, his friends rushing to the riverbank to get a better look at the situation. The streamer emerged from the river mere seconds later, clinging to the boat\u2019s rear in an attempt to keep his head above water \u2013 likely a huge relief to his panicked compatriots. While the original VOD has been deleted and the exact location of the scene cannot be verified, one Reddit commenter claimed that the debacle went down in Detroit\u2019s St. Claire river \u2013 a dangerous spot for divers and boaters, due to currents caused by freighters just like the craft seen in the video. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s roughly a third of a mile wide, with a few narrow shipping channels for freighters, occasionally as large as 800 \u2013 1,000 feet, \u201c the commenter explained. \u201cNo way in hell I\u2019d ever dive there \u2013 aside from the draft leaving only a few feet of room between the ship and the riverbed, the water displacement from such large ships in narrow channels causes dangerous currents.\u201d This wouldn\u2019t be the first time an IRL streamer has documented a dangerous situation, by far; in fact, YouTube streamer \u2018Furry Potato Live\u2019 was involved in a violent altercation with a security guard in early February, after deciding to stream outside of a synagogue in Los Angeles, California. After questioning the streamer why he and his friend were streaming outside the synagogue, the guard requested that the pair stop moving \u2013 but the two continued to pace back and forth, prompting the guard to draw his gun and fire on the streamer, wounding him in the leg. [Timestamp: 1:33 for mobile viewers] While the guard was later arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, no further information has been released concerning the Polish streamer\u2019s wellbeing after nearly drowning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
