The video, posted to YouTube on July 13, shows a young man arching his body over a muddy creek in Chile so a young woman, reportedly his sister, can cross without getting mud on her shoes.

The man struggles to stand without plunging into the lake, and eventually enlists the help of another friend who attempts to pull him to a standing position. The rescue attempt appears for a moment as if it will be successful, but the man -- and his clean, light colored pants -- falls butt-first into the water and mud.
