Dude finds a huge kelp whip and can't stop accidentally hurting himself with it

File this one under "Bad Ideas That Make For Great Videos."

YouTube user Viva Frei happened upon a long piece of kelp in the shape of a whip and decided to see if it acted like a whip. Spoiler alert: it absolutely does not.

I can't believe I even have to say this but if you find a huge long piece of kelp please do not attempt to use it as a whip it -- unless you plan on filming it and putting it up on YouTube for our amusement.
