Every week, something happens that makes me go "that's the most Philly thing I've ever seen"...so, here we are - truly the most Philly thing I've ever seen.

Seeing him do those backflips is better then watching this year's Olympics

[sda]

I’m glad he’s ok. That could have been disastrous.

[Feed-My-Mind-Not-My-Ego]

That would be amazing if that man is now fully immune to all COVID-19 viruses after jumping into that water.

[jeanninegodwin]

I've known several people who contracted severe skin infections after walking through flood waters which contained sewage!

[jimjohnson]

That water isn't clean enough to wash a porta potty

[davelynch]

...That was one fancy way to get Pink Eye

[duanewhite]

Hopefully that man understands that water is got sewage in it

[mauricejohnson]

Damn that was a perfect backflip dirty bastard🤨

[kristinabrown]

I like the way y’all commenting like he in the olympics

[ripwednesdayadams]

That water is disgusting. I can’t believe he went swimming in it.

[woofdog]

So fuckN nasty to swim in sewage filled water

[ALEXIASY]

He’s going to need a dose of broad spectrum antibiotics🤢

[GO-wxdh]

As Rick James once said: Cocaine is a helluva DRUG:.

[sadeaton]

Let's hope he is still alive after jumping in that toxic cesspool.

[jameshayes]

How stupid. Let's dive in polluted water.

[realness]

After watching this I don't know rather to be proud of my hometown or embarrassed . I'll give the dive a 8.8 or so. Common Sense -0.1🤨 Hope he's a out of towner.

[thomasconboy]

[Ladykyra]

[tee]
