Ok great, now let’s see the Amazon Prime boat
The mailboat runners will be drones
I wish we could do this in Florida but if we did we would probably get snatched by a gator hiding under the deck
Not all heroes wear capes. Some lay on the floor of the dock like Lexi
You leave Lexi OUT OF THIS !
This looks like a job I would like. I've ran 18hrs a day up and down airplane wings while getting slimy in chemical fertilizer and jet fuel. My question is why not have the mailbox closer? 🤣
Wow this is still a thing.... only in Wisconsin
It's really a tourist attraction
Why not put the mailbox at the end of the dock?
Some are, most arent tho
@@destinwilcoxson828 Educate me. Why would they not put the box at the end of the dock? You see my position, seems a little ridiculous to have to run up the dock when it could easily be reached. Idk?
@@1bcordell because its suposed to be challenging
@@1bcordell and the point is that there supposed to run up the dock and if they miss the boat and fall in the water the boat dose a cricle and comes back to pick them up
@@funnygamingclips3077 that’s not the point at all, surly you’re joking
Do deck shoes really work when it's wet? I'd wear big cushioned knee pads for falls jumping off, but especially back on because the landing is so small. Why wouldn't everyone be considerate of where their mailbox is? It should be a requirement that all boxes are as close to the boat as possible. Seems like a no brained.
How much do they get paid?
Is it only young ladies who make the deliveries?
I found vids on young gents doing it but I really don't know why most of them are girls 🤔
@@user-dn7yp7nw7h Thats cool! Thanks for answering my question.
The boat has to slow down it dident
the boat is not supposed to slow down. If you miss it they come back for u
Only private advertisers & Not endorsed by the the USPS Postmaster General
Not knowing anything about this place except that the videos say this is an island of multimillion-dollar mansions. it must not be the actual USPS service. just a "mail service" of the tour boat.
the mail jumpers must be kids from filthy rich families who may not be as lawsuit prone as a poor family and live near or on the island. just so their kids can get some job experience.
A tourist attraction only 😹
How many teenagers are getting sprained ankles from mis-judging a jump?
I’m game to try this
They typically use high school kids that are under 18 to do this job. I really hope that the postal service or whoever runs this service has some kind of iron clad waiver that keeps them from being held liable for damages or bodily harm. If it has not happened already then I have a feeling that eventually some parent is going to try to file a lawsuit against the company because their precious snowflake of a child has gotten a boo-boo while doing this job. I feel like this is some thing that’s going to eventually get phased out due to this but I hope I’m wrong. It would be a shame to see a tradition that has been running since 1916 get phased out because of something like that.
If a simple bruise would be the biggest risk I would agree but there are more safety concerns. Imagine one of the teenagers falling between the moving boat and the docks, that could end pretty bad.
@@michieldeprez4025 Your right. I vote that we wrap everyone up in bubble wrap and put them in a bubble. And don't forget there masks...
@@rjthomasindyusa He didn't say to wrap everyone in bubble wrap. He just said that falling between the boat and the dock is more than a bruise. (It might even kill someone)
@@JBobjork I was obviously being sarcastic. We live in a world where the same people who would advocate child sex changes are willing to destroy the heritage of something that is wholesome over the risk of someone getting hurt...... despite their safety record.
Eventually someone will get hurt and sue..... therefore destroying yet another American tradition.
nah this is a white people thing and it's just on one lake. notice everybody is blonde? this is basically hitler youth postal services
Luckily they probably have to write papers saying they can’t sue
This is not usps mail delivery 😅
Numbnuts
Whyyy would anyone actually WANT to do this ?
Poor teens ugh 🤦🏾♂️ the pay better be worth it and they better have hazardous pay
Did this guy just say pay better be worth it and hazardous pay in the same sentence
@@rmbgtango7563 would you do a hazardous pay job with minimum wage?????????
