On our first day in Washington State, we stopped by Moulton Falls Regional Park and were pleasantly surprised by an epic rope swing underneath the popular jumping spot at the Moulton Falls Bridge. I also, coincidentally, realized that this bridge was where a young girl was pushed off of, last summer.

My name is Jesse St Louis (AKA Infamous JSL) and I'm an actor that likes to go on awesome adventures between gigs. I've been called a "no frills Bear Grylls" but mostly I've been called an Actor. Traveler. Smart-ass.
No jumping or diving, but it doesn't say anything about swinging.
Good morning from Washington state.
We have crossed the Columbia river gorge and we are now in Southern Washington
state at some place.
I don't remember the name of right now. And now, okay. Moulton falls. All right.
So Moulton falls is our first official stop here in
Washington. Super tired.
It was rainy this morning and it's a little chilly this morning.
It's in the, in the low sixties here in Washington.
Wasn't actually going to make a video today cause I don't know enough about what
we're doing. Moulton falls. I think we're hitting some waterfalls.
It's kind of cold. I actually don't feel like going swimming. I'm super tired.
Still recovering. Also that slide. I mean we,
from yesterday's video, the slide,
we went down like probably 10 or 12 times each.
My body is like still recovering from getting banged up on that.
Even though it was super fun. Probably some jumps and swims again,
feeling beat up and tired. Not sure if I'm going to go in.
Although the best way to wake up is to jump in some freezing cold water.
That's for sure.
Part of the problem with being in the Pacific Northwest is there's just so many
beautiful places and it's like being a kid in a candy store.
You just want to run around and try everything. Oh, I want to try this.
I want to try that. I want to hit five spots in one day.
I want to jump off 10 different waterfalls in one day.
We were running on pure adrenaline and excitement and enthusiasm for a couple
weeks and now it's like recovery time and just trying to find that balance of
what is sustainable for us to do and not get burned out.
So just realized actually that this is the Moulton Falls bridge and last summer
there was a nationally covered incident where one girl pushed another girl off
of this.
Ready?
She ended up breaking some ribs and injuring her lung and she's lucky she
didn't die. She was standing on the edge here,
getting ready to cliff jump and I guess she was scared and then someone behind
her just pushed her off. Definitely not cool, man.
Don't push people off bridges, guys. Okay? If you're going to jump, jump.
If you're not going to jump, don't jump. You know,
there should never be any pressure.
Obviously safety is always the number one concern. I mean,
this is a 60 foot jump,
so definitely not a jump for beginners. 60 feet.
Even if you intentionally jump and you land wrong,
you can still break ribs and injure yourself severely and possibly even die.
I mean, if you land wrong, knock yourself unconscious,
you can drown easily. So crazy that this is,
I remember reading about that incident last summer,
the girl pushing the other girl off.
And I think the girl that pushed the girl off the bridge was 18 so I'm not sure
what charges she's facing. Haven't checked the update on that.
And I hope that other girl is recovering well.
Under this Moulton Falls bridge, there is a rope swing.
Didn't feel like doing a 60 foot jump this morning,
but I just depth checked it and looking like I'm going to have to enjoy this
rope swing here.
Moulton Falls Park, surprisingly,
enjoyable today. I was not expecting that epic rope swing.
I don't even think we've seen Moulton Falls yet.
I think it's actually down near where we parked. However,
one of the best rope swings I've ever done.
