He tried and failed.

If he had successfully body slammed a killer whale and the whale returned the favor, would he have succeeded or failed?

He would have succeeded; and that point would probably be reiterated a few times at his funeral.

The man yells “I touched it” to the other people on the boat and then asks “Did you get that?” in an apparent reference to whether his encounter with the orca was successfully filmed. He then tries to touch the animal again. Other people aboard the vessel can be heard laughing and cheering in the background.

Fuck it, fine them too.

Eh, they might've been cheering for the orca.

My sources have it that one guy in the back was just cheering for the cheering.

That is the funniest possible picture that could have accompanied that headline. It’s like he’s a fucking aquatic creature himself 🤣

That's not too fair. Poor guy. Someone has to fight back. Are we sure it wasn't self-defense? Maybe they were trying to sink his yacht?

I first read it as "Man is fine after trying to 'body slam' killer whale" expecting a meh orca encounter.

Could have made Darwin proud that day. Alas, a slap on the wrist in the form of a $600 fine and they live to harass another whale in the future.

Really should have gotten some time in a cell to reflect on his stupidity
