Gyver Beach is a white sand beach just north of senan Cove in West Cornwall England because you have to go through some winding roads in sand dunes to get there lots of people drive by that area without even realizing it's there but for a YouTuber named Jacob cockle this was home in 2011 Jacob started a channel called Whirlpool Hitman where he would upload footage of his adventures swimming in whirlpools and doing other extreme stuns such as cliff jumping extreme surfing and Cave exploration as of today the channel has closed to 50,000 subscribers according to his
family Jacob lived his life on the edge and his stunts often earned him covering shots in big surfing magazines and even prizes from the Sunday Times and National Geographic in some of his whirlpool videos Jacob would often throw stuff at a Vortex and record random objects getting sucked down by the powerful currents but in most of his videos he would actually swim in the whirlpools himself which is extremely dangerous as the swirling currents could easily pull a person under in seconds on May 28 2013 the whirlpool that made hail Estuary famous surfaced again as it
did a few times a year and Jacob was determined to swim in it to capture some cool looking footage for his channel that day he ran up to his friend and artist David Rain's house and asked him to film him as he swam around the whirlpool David had collaborated with Jacob in the past and seen how excited his friend was he agreed just like in the rest of his YouTube videos Jacob brought a prop to the harbor to make his video more eye-catching to his viewers and for this particular video he decided the prompt would
be a horse mask for several minutes Jacob swirled around the vortex's edge letting the current carry him in a circle without dragging him down at one point in the video he mentions to his friend that swimming in a Whirlpool was a lot like surfing because it was all about flowing with the currents after filming for about 25 minutes David mentions that they probably have enough footage and tries to get Jacob to come out of the water I reckon you got enough hiding the current of it with your body are you yeah it's really similar to
saing just flowing that was pretty scary you got enough um I really make the most of it I don't know what else do instead of getting out Jacob asked David to hand him his stick mounted GoPro so he could capture one last bit of underwater footage before calling it a day a few seconds after he dived down David started to worry as Jacob hadn't come back up to the surface when he yelled his friend's name and received no response he ran to the other end of The Quay where the water flowed into a pool that's
when he saw his friend face down in the water and knew it was too late Jacob was gone in March of 2014 Jacob's last footage was uploaded to YouTube with the haunting caption at the end of the video reading live as if you were to Die Tomorrow learn as if you were to live forever at age 28 Jacob lost his life doing what he loved most his funeral was attended by dozens more people than than the church could accommodate and they all gathered to celebrate his life and remember him as the Fearless Adventurer he was
a year after his passing the harbor was renovated and the whirlpool that had captivated Jacob and ultimately taken his life disappeared forever James sto was a YouTuber known for his unique train hopping videos where he traveled across the country by riding on the back of freight trains delighting his fans with his original piano playing dead pan humor and hilarious commentary on everything he saw due to the risk of falling off the train or getting caught between moving cars train hopping is extremely dangerous but that hasn't stopped people from doing it since before the Great Depression
and it definitely didn't stop James or stob the hobo as he often referred to himself on his YouTube channel of almost 60,000 subscribers and just a little over 60 videos in some of his videos you'll find comments from people claiming that they had met stob at bars and assumed he was lying when he told them he train hopped across the country filming his adventures but every time sto surprised them with some pretty awesome footage of his CrossCountry train hopping trips from Palm Beach to Jacksonville sto loves sharing his raw experience of life on the rails
with his audience who always supported him in his unending search for some pizza and a cold beer sadly the adventure came to a tragic end for stob on November 8 2017 when a deadly train accident in Baltimore took his life unfortunately due to the lack of media coverage of his passing it's hard to know what exactly happened to James stob but the most familiar sources claim that hether fell fell off an overpass or his backpack got caught on a passing Amtrak train as he was standing on a bridge because his death left so many questions
unanswered a lot of his fans submitted requests for the Baltimore Police Department to release more information on the case but they were asked to remain respectful of sto's family and give them space as of 2024 most of sto's fans still don't know exactly what happened to him but if one thing's for sure stove the hobo passed away doing what he loved most and his legacy will live on forever high on life was a pretty popular YouTube channel with over 600,000 subscribers at its peak starting in 2011 the high on life crew uploaded more than 400

with two crew members when the accident took place based on the police report it appears that Greg was either trying to outrun a train and get an amazing shot for his website or he mistakenly believed that an oncoming train was on a parallel track to his instead of the track he was on either way several sources confirmed that at some point while he was running on the tracks he tripped fell and couldn't get up in time to avoid the oncoming train based on one witness's testimony Greg had been holding a camcorder in his hands when
he was struck by the train but this was never officially confirmed chillingly a bystander took a photo of Greg standing near the tracks just a few moments before the incident another witness named James a brown claims he saw a security camera video of Greg running on the track as the train approached him from behind he had on our black the train went by I saw him stumbled over the tracks he had a camcorder in his hand something like yours and then that was it the train stopped and you didn't see you just saw him walking
across the track well I saw him stumble over the tracks as the train was going by and then it stopped right there to this day it's still not completely clear what Greg was attempting to do but this wasn't the first first time he had used train tracks as a prop for his workout videos in other videos he had been filmed doing push-ups on the tracks playing with fire and taunting death as he moved out the way of oncoming trains just in time to avoid impact unfortunately he couldn't react quick enough that afternoon in 2015 to
