A video posted to the Minnesota thread of reddit shows someone jet skiing on the flooded waters of the Mississippi River in St. Paul.

The video -- which appears to be filmed on the east side of the river -- follows the skier as he speeds down towards Harriet Island, the St. Paul skyline providing a pretty incredible backdrop.

"A brave soul jet skiing the flooded Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul," the title reads, though others don't seem so impressed.

"There is a fine line between 'brave' and 'idiot'," comments one person.

"Is that legal?" asks another.

"It is all fun and games until you have engine problems," comments a third, "or fall off and get caught on a strainer."
