This kid will never visit a water park again. 14-year-old Jeffrey LaPorta fell into a creek while riding his bike with his friends and was swept into a storm drain. Somehow, the Ohio teen managed to hold his breath for two minutes while getting abused by the water. Once the water dropped, he grabbed onto a handle for safety after traveling 1,500 feet.
All the while, his friends were panicking. One of them flagged down a city worker, who gathered a crew that searched six different manholes before finding him. Six stitches and 43 minutes later, he was safe.
