Jamaica, 8 July 2025: Love can make people do extraordinary things—but sometimes, those romantic gestures come dangerously close to tragedy. A young man who chose the dramatic setting of a waterfall to propose to his girlfriend was swept away mid-proposal, shocking everyone who saw the now-viral video.
The incident occurred at Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica, a popular but slippery tourist spot. The video shows the young man standing in waist-deep water with his girlfriend just behind him. He gently places his hand on her shoulder, kneels with a ring to propose—but before she can answer, he loses balance and is swiftly carried away by the current.
The moment, meant to be the happiest of his life, turned into one of panic. Shared on social media via the @MarchUnofficial account, the video went viral within hours, sparking concern among viewers. Comments flooded in asking if the man had survived.

Thankfully, AI tool Grok clarified that the man—identified as Jamie—was rescued safely and did not suffer any major injuries. According to Grok, such slips are not uncommon at Dunn’s River Falls, but fatalities are rare.
While many hailed the proposal as a passionate gesture of love, others criticized it as reckless. “Proposing at the cost of your life isn’t bravery,” one user commented. Others questioned the girlfriend’s lack of reaction or attempt to help. Many also reflected on the need to be cautious, even during emotional or romantic moments.
Despite the slip, the caption on the video reads: “The happiest day of my life”—suggesting Jamie may have still gotten his answer.
