After trying for the past year to figure out why, exactly, rock quarries are so deadly, you have finally explained it to me. Everything I’ve read only tells me what the dangers are, not exactly WHY those things are dangerous. Many thanks! Now I understand!
Another thing to consider is that sometimes the water can be really toxic so if drowning or getting trapped under doesn't kill you the toxicity of the water will
@@bhargavivonguru6304I do a lot of urban exploration and focus a lot on abandoned mining towns. I always spend an eon researching the place before I step foot in there. There are so many places I wouldn't even consider stepping foot into for at least another 40 years. Unfortunately when these businesses were booming, they didn't care about the long term consequences.
Have you ever got or felt very cold water get dumped over your head an you go "ooooo" an shake an breath in? At a certain point of cold temp ( could be different when it's 90 out ) your body will do that. So they jump in the quarry an go down 20 feet an at the surface it 50° an 20 feet down it could be 30. So they jump in an go down the body does what it does an they take a full breath of water an drown, all done. It's involuntary meaning you can hold your mouth or stop it from happening ( doctor hitting your knee an your leg moves) when I was younger I would just off a cliff 50 feet down an you have to run an jump cause from the edge of the cliff to about 15 feet out it's rocks. So you have to jump them . Quarrys are cool but trust me swim in lakes. You don't wanna leave you mom or wife without you. An that's not including what's down there. One day you could be jumping not touching the bottom next week you come back water is lower an someone dumped a car in an hour hit it, all done.
Nope. It's 90 out an they dive off a cliff an at the surface it's 50° water 15-20 feet down 35-40. So have you ever poured cold water over yourself , especially when it's hot. You go Oooooooo ooh then you gasp. It's INVOLENTARLY like at the doctor's when they hit your knee an it moves. Good you mouth do what you want you will still breath in you have no control. So they jump go in, take a breath of water 15-20ft down an they don't come up. It's not that it's deep or obstruction. Which there can be many. It's the cold water making you Cold an you breath in. I didn't know this till about a month ago an it makes sense. An records say cold water shock, quarries colder than the Atlantic ocean is what killed 80% of all deaths. I always thought they jumped in an current took them or they stuck on a tree or hit a tree. Can happen but alot the water surprises your body. Stay safe. When I was young I would go there with friends blaze a couple Ls drink a 2 liter of Morgan an dive 50 feet. Hit so hard it hurts you feet gonna just with shoes. Don't do it.
People have been known to drown in shallow water, hell there’s even something known as dry drowning*. Part of the problem is people underestimate how dangerous a body of water can be, I knew someone when I was at school who broke their collar bone by diving in to a canal and hit a supermarket trolley that had been pushed in to the canal. There’s all sorts of things when it comes to diving or swimming in water. There’s leaching, which effects the PH of the water, look up “the blue lagoon of Lancashire”. It’s an abandoned quarry where people regularly go to swim because of how blue the water looks, the reason it’s so blue is because of how low the PH level and there’s signs up telling people that swimming in the this quarry is like swimming in bleach. Then there’s what’s under the water, I don’t just mean things like cars, trolleys and other man made things. I live in the Norfolk Broads and every now and then someone drowns because they got tangled up in underwater weeds. Then there’s things like currents and rip tides. It doesn’t matter how strong a swimmer someone is, if they get caught in a bad current they’re gone. Most people make the mistake of swimming against a rip tide, if you ever find yourself stuck in a rip tide swim parallel to the shore line, sooner or later later you’ll find yourself in a calm part of the sea (think of it as an ally way between two rip tides) then swim to the shore. *it’s pretty much when someone, normally a child, gets into trouble while swimming or breaths in water and then leaves the water and thinks they’re safe, only their lungs have reacted badly to the water and have started to bleed, only it takes a few hours before anyone notices something is wrong.
For instance, someone jumps into the water, the higher the jump is, the deeper you’ll go, the deeper you go the colder it gets. With that being said, when you go that deep your body gets into a state of shock and your first instinct would be to breathe, (it’s kinda like taking a cold shower and HAVING to breathe)this fills your lungs up with water and you die. This is one of the biggest causes of death from quarries. You’re right 💯
I’m surprise he didn’t mention the pockets of air that come up every once in a while. Suddenly, the density of the water drops really low and people just get sucked all the way down.
@@k4kafka not necessarily untrue. I cannot speak to this phenomenon he references to quarries...but...there is a version of this that I know happens from the screws of a ship, particularly large ships. Air gets churned into the water which does actually lower the density of the water, as a solution, and you will sink. You no longer are buoyant because of the air added to the water. There was a youtube video i saw just recently where it showed a jet skier go along the length of a ship and as he neared the screws at the back he literally began falling into the new water mixture. What he is referring to could be something similar.
Dude, that was a great video, great camera work, great narration and a really nice choice of music. Well done, young man. I spent a lot of time around quarry ponds as a kid but never did the cliff jumping thing. Good information and very well presented.
Putting so much effort into drone shots, dutch angles, and corny gimmicks, and when a sentence of supposed information finally comes, it's "idk you'll have to look that up"
Someone can correct me, but I think it's due to the difference in temperature between the air outside and the water. The water in quarries can be freezing cold even during warm summer days. Your body is not accustomed, and the big difference causes a shock that makes you involuntarily grasp for air and drown. In Finland it's already freezing cold outside and people prepare themselves for the cold water. Also, they usually don't jump but slowly submerge.
Thank you for giving more explanation I clicked on three diff quarry vids claiming to explain “why they are dangerous” without actually saying anything lol, also really like the music mixed in w the aerial shots
Went to a quarry this weekend and was too scared to go swimming incase animals or fish got me so wanted to look online to see and my dad told me it's because there is old machinery in there which can attach onto you and drown you and not only that the cold water
In addition to that jumping from a great height into quarry waters is dangerous because old machinery could be hidden very close to the water's surface but not be visible so jumping into the quarry waters risks hitting hard objects like old machinery hidden close to the water's surface but out of sight is possible
I do not know how true it is that there is that much machinery in every single quarry. Because everyone seems to say this same thing, even though many of these quarries were abandoned before these people were even born. There is a popular quarry not a quarter mile down the road from us and it is supposed to be 75 feet or more to the bottom. There is no shoreline/beach, if you will. You step off the rock ledge and you are in. As long as you are away from the walls, and in the swimming areas they are floating docks to get you away from the end where the wall goes more than so much above the water line to keep anything from falling on people. Actually, just recently the back corner of this quarry just a massive land slide and a huge chunk of cliffside fell into it...had to have it inspected by geologists before they would reopen it to swimming.
Why this creator have a less subscriber, it's crazy because lots of people nowadays doesn't know a quality films or videos like this, information and facts vs idiocracy.
I live in MN, we have a quarry that actually allows swimming. Since I have lived here I have seen countless young people lose their lives, one as recent as yesterday. So sad… thank you for the explanation
Used to swim in a quarry in Vermont in a place we called "The Quarry". And it was that beautiful blue color. I never knew of anyone dying there, and it had a few high cliffs. It was fantastic swimming there as in the Summer the water was not really super cold. It was beautiful there, like New Hampshire is.
Nice production, but I would like to have had a better look at the quarry. I assume you weren't talking about a limestone quarry with your remark about pH. Is that right?
I Find your video very fascinating and informative, I live 15 minutes from a quarry that was abandoned in the late 50's and is now part of some 4,000 acres set aside for people to hike ,bike , swim and also is a Dark sky park and know for its fossils. There are also sinkholes to see as well. I enjoy going there quite regularly but there is a warning to all who visit to hike responsibly because no one is there to oversee guests.
I go carp fishing at a old gravel pit/quarry here in england an its about 50 foot deep in places big cliffs in most areas and loads of lilly pads around the edges, holds some big fish in the summer ill take a swim in it but its freeezing freezing cold out in the depth around the edge is warm and inviting thats what also makes them deadly as its fine in the shallows but cold enough to cause cramp if you go out into the deeper cooler water
@@KellerNH Love it!!! Please could you obtain some actors and do a most GRAPHIC video about quarry dangers!!! Make it hard hitting and terrifying!!! Put in a woman who says "Bloody good riddance to them, why did the idiots ignore danger signs!!!" My thoughts exactly, go for it!!! Find a stunningly beautiful quarry location.
I don't see a reason not to swim. Water is ALWAYS to be approached with a keen awareness that man made and natural hazards will kill you if you're careless.
Why explore a boring and deadly quarry? There are better places to explore. l have no sympathy for daredevil young men, who ignore warning signs and drown there. Bloody good riddance to them!!!
When I was a teenager we regulary swam at quarries. Nothing ever happened to us. If you use common sense and not dive into uncertain water then you will be fine.
AB, Do not play with your life!!! Quarries are very deadly places, there are much safer places to swim. Should have considered your parents, imagine the police knocking on you door with "bad news"!!! KEEP your kids out of them!!!
Also under currents or flow can suck you down and you'll drown. Happened here where I live. Plenty people died in our quarry.

@@enhancedphysique6452skill issue
Some people hit the water and immediately pass out from the cold water. Legendary information that people should know.
For instance, someone jumps into the water, the higher the jump is, the deeper you’ll go, the deeper you go the colder it gets.

Thanks so much man for making a video that actually EXPLAINS why quarries are dangerous to jump in

This doesn't happen

“I don’t know” but with the cinematic filter turned on
I just stumbled upon this, and wow am I glad. The editing of your videos are well done, great job
Great video! Thank you for explaining why quarry are dangerous!
Why is it okay to jump in a freezing lake in Sweden, Iceland, Finland, etc. but not okay to jump in freezing water in a quarry?
Someone can correct me, but I think it's due to the difference in temperature between the air outside and the water. The water in quarries can be freezing cold even during warm summer days. Your body is not accustomed, and the big difference causes a shock that makes you involuntarily grasp for air and drown.

Very interesting. So basically when they get abandoned they fill up with water over a period of time.
I had the same question. Thank you.
Above all , its Cold Water Shock that kills.
Thank you for giving more explanation I clicked on three diff quarry vids claiming to explain “why they are dangerous” without actually saying anything lol, also really like the music mixed in w the aerial shots

We are thinking about buying land right next to a quarry and I'm on the fence about it so I'm here.

I have to laugh! Everything is dangerous!hell we have on the average of5,000 people choking to death just eating food

Underrated channel. Quality is so good. Good job bro
Great choice of music
We call them "slips and wedges " in the Limestone quarrys of Bedford Indiana. The Limestone capital of the world.
Your videos are very well done. I just found your channel and am enjoying the videos immensely. Thanks for the hard work.
Great job 🎉🎉🎉
Great video. Where is the quarry located that you went to?
Milford, NH
Wow thank you and i like how you flim in different spots.
Did you make rbis all by yourself? This is a work of art!
Ive never heard of passing out from the cold of the water, i went into 30* water (I believe) witha swim suit and was fine i cant imagine passing out

fantastic video, i cant believe you dont have a bigger following

It’s in Milford
@@KellerNH pretty sure its patch hill quarries
Fantastic!!!
That was quite interesting! 😊
Beautifully made video.
best swimming and fishing are at quarries
So why is the water so cold? I didn't see where you explained why.
Becuse it comes from underground
Awesome video man
Amazing video!
Where is this filmed?
Could you let me know what the beautiful song is that’s featured in your video? Thanks 😊

Wear a life jacket. Deep water can be dangerous.
I'm heading Pennsylvania to jump in a quarry this weekend.
I'll let you know if it is true.
