    I witnessed a young man die from diving in this pool yesterday. It was instant. I ran 2 miles to call 911. Videos of people diving into this pool are misleading and dangerous. Please don't advertise this activity!!

      I've heard lots die from the cold so can u 2ear a wet suit?

    • @ZachandKatelyn
      @ZachandKatelyn  4 роки тому

      Southpark Butters it’s a 2 mile hike in so you would have to pack in that wetsuit for a 4 mile round trip, but I guess you could. I wouldn’t recommend jumping in!

      Since I did not return to the scene once down the mountain and returned home next day, I discovered through the news that the man miraculous survived after being submerged for several minutes then pulled out and and life flighted to the hospital in Bend. Amazing. Literally a miracle.

    Never get tired of seeing how beautiful this place is. We really are fortunate enough to have places like this (Blue Pool) for us to enjoy but also protect and respect. Great video btw 🤙🏼 and I also would recommend testing the waters first before getting in because of how cold it is (37°) After 20min or so my body got used to the water and I was able to swim around without a problem but I definitely wouldn’t recommend jumping in before actually getting a feel as too how cold the water really is 🥶 be safe out there guys ♥️

    This Blue Pool in Oregon is extremely dangerous and has taken multiple people's lives. It's extremely deep (doesn't look like it because of how clear the water is) 30 feet to be exact and extremely cold. Please don't dive in or jump in from on top of rocks.

    • @ZachandKatelyn

    This place is simply amazing pictures and videos do not come close to the actual colors of the H2O.
    Now, listen carefully BRING A FULL SUIT 4/3 WITH BOOTIES AND A HOODIE IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO ONE.
    This water is bone chilling, life altering, brain freezing, cold. You can not speak as you exit the water.
    Simply too cold. Recommend a quick dip from the bottom after the hike. Relieves all the sore muscles.
    For the alpha males .... do not leave this spot without jumping in.
