Drone records tourist being dragged by a water head in Hawaii

Have you heard of the phenomenon called the water head? It is an action of nature in which rainwater flows down the river in a very fast and destructive manner. On a Hawaii tour, a group of friends decided to stop and swim in a quiet waterfall, but soon the episode turned into a nightmare.

Renee Lusano, one of the group members, filmed everything with her drone. Sean, one of Lusano's colleagues, climbed the rocks to dive into the stream. The height of the water was close to the heel at the moment, but the waterhead came, and the boy had to hold on not to be dragged by the current. Check out the video below:

You can observe the power of the water, which quickly arrives and drags everything along the way. Sean even tries to hold on to the top of the waterfall, but is soon taken by the flow of the river. Renee used the drone camera to try to locate her friend, who luckily got away with it. However, the group had to call the authorities to be rescued by helicopter, as it was impossible to go back on the way.
