What happened in Mostar? A foreign tourist decided to jump off the famous Old Bridge over the Neretva River. Despite warnings from locals that it was dangerous and he could seriously hurt himself, he didn’t listen. The result? The jump was completely unskilled and could have been fatal. After surfacing, instead of help, he was met with insults and a physical attack by locals! Yes, you read that right — people beat and cursed him as if he had committed the biggest mistake in the world. The whole thing was caught on video and quickly went viral on social media.
Jumping off the Old Bridge in Mostar is no joke. It’s a tradition held every year at the end of July, attracting professional jumpers and thousands of spectators from around the world. But it’s not for amateurs! The height and cold water of the Neretva make this stunt extremely risky. Professionals train for years, and beginners are advised not to jump without expert supervision. This tourist clearly ignored all the advice and paid the price.
Did the locals overreact? Maybe. But on the other hand, their reaction shows how seriously they take this tradition and how concerned they are about safety. Still, physical violence isn’t the answer, right? What do you think about all this? Did the tourist deserve the beating or did the locals cross the line? Drop a comment and let’s see whose side you’re on!
