What do backpackers do in Venice? Check it out
It won't be too much longer till college lets out for the year and scores of students will don backpacks, buy Eurail passes and head to Europe. Get some buddies together for a summer road trip and there's bound to be some goofing off.
It seems like Venice attracts more than its fair share of goofballs. Giving the city's architecture and museums a mist, a favorite past time for backpackers in Venice appears to be finding creative ways to get wet.
Last year, we brought you this video of guys doing just that. And here's another one.
In the video below, a group of guys have hatched a pretty daring bet to pass a summer's day. OK, so the guy recording the video whines a little too much about his camera's battery and memory, but the actual jump is pretty damn funny.

If the tables were turned and someone broke their boat's mooring pole you can bet they wouldn't be laughing about it.
No wonder American tourists have a bad reputation.

College days, what fun. Backpacking through Europe would be a blast. Not sure I'd be doing these kind of antiques but they are hilarious to watch.

Reason #432 to avoid Europe in the Summer. :P

Gordon is right.
There are plenty of ways to amuse yourself while traveling without destroying other people's property. Why, as a guest in a foreign place, would you trash someone's things?
This is not "a creative way to get wet." Rather, this is a bunch of jackasses ruining it for other Americans who want to see and respect the countries to which they travel.
Last year's video was funny. Why did you even post this one and give these tools an audience?

How do you guys know that they're Americans?
