Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Scottish fan stripped naked in public to swim in Rhine river after losing a bet during Euro 2024.
In the trending video, the Scottish man, seen as he went butt naked in public, ran and jumped into the River Rhine after he allegedly lost a bet.
The dangerous currents create an underflow so strong that even experienced swimmers are in danger of being pulled under to the bottom of the river. These currents are unpredictable and often unidentifiable.
Waves produced by large ships can knock people over who are standing in the water and drag them into the hazardous currents.
The “tides” can change in a few minutes: Ships sailing upstream draw the water towards them, causing the water near the riverbanks to recede. The “low tide” tempts bathers further into the river, but as soon as the ship has passed, the “high tide” follows with unexpected force and pulls even adult swimmers into the main current.
The consequences of such accidents in the Rhine include broken bones, hypothermia, cardiovascular problems and, in the worst case, drowning.
