Last Saturday, Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father, Dell, in Bahía El Águila near the San Isidro Lighthouse in the Strait of Magellan when a humpback whale surfaced, engulfing Adrián and his yellow kayak for a few seconds before letting him go.
Dell, just meters (yards) away, captured the moment on video while encouraging his son to stay calm.
“Stay calm, stay calm,” he can be heard saying after his son was released from the whale’s mouth.
“I thought I was dead,” Adrián told The Associated Press. “I thought it had eaten me, that it had swallowed me.”

Unless it dives with you in its mouth.
Maybe, but it also depends on how long you can keep your breath. I doubt you will be fine if it dives.
Yeah, this is less of an eat and more of a mouthwash.
I think I have a different definition of the word “swallowed”.
That’s what she said.
Help me out, best I can come up with is “gargled”, and man does that really change the meaning of the headline for me.
Chewed? Masticated? Nibbled? Tasted?
Imagine adding, “briefly swallowed by a whale” to your CV…
I don’t know if you’re joking, but I absolutely, 100% would.
Something something Jonah?
A whale ain’t no “big fish.”
“Sorry dude! My bad! We good?”
“From a distance, you looked like krill.”
Netflix and krill?
slow clap …
I’ll stick to kayaking fresh water. All I gotta worry about are gators and Florida Man.
I dunno. Imo Florida man and gators kill way more people than humpback whales do. I mean the whale just spits you out alive, albeit with big brown stains on your pants.
I think it was a few years ago a diver was swallowed and instead of just letting him go, he was spat out 15ft into the air. Way more terrifying.
“Wait, you’re not plankton.”
The video is wild to watch!
