Has there been any contest like this in Jamaica; keep your hand on the car longest...things like that? I doubt Jamaicans would participate in anything that would physically hurt them to achieve freeness just like that...other than hopping the back of moving trucks to throw goods to the handcart man, driving the cart AND holding on the truck at the same time, or swimming in enraged rivers to get a couple chickens because the van run off the roan and drop in the gully, or go out in a hurricane to steal ONE SHEET OF ZINC in 70mph winds, nah Jamaicans arent like that.

Water Intoxication is real, heard of a few cases especially in the army where it happens.
It occurs when there is a huge imbalance of the electrolytes in your body.

lets see what wiki has to say:

(also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by water.[1] Normal, healthy (both physically and nutritionally) individuals have little to worry about accidentally consuming too much water. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume more than ten litres over the course of just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed.
