''I’m going to hell for laughing''.

The recent catastrophic floods in Venice have been well documented, but that still hasn't been enough to deter some tourists from visiting the majestic Italian city.

However one bumbling tourist may regret his decision to visit the scenic spot, after he end up in one of the famous canals - and you can't help but feel sorry for him.

A video of the man posted to twitter shows him wading through the flood water while holding a selfie stick, Fox News reports.

But within seconds, he takes an unfortunate plunge.

“I’m going to hell for laughing,” said Twitter user StanceGrounded who shared the now-viral video on Sunday.

The video has been viewed more than 6.3 million times, with more than 65,000 retweets and 200,000 likes.

Reactions to the video were, not surprisingly, humorous.

“He may drown … but he’s going to try to save that phone,” one person tweeted.

“I can’t stop watching or laughing,” another Twitter user commented.

Other reactions focused more on the water itself and its potential health risks.

“Because walking into a body of toxic, polluted, bacteria-ridden, microscopic sewage-filled water seemed like a good idea,” one user said.

“For his sake, I hope his next stop was a hospital.”
