Thousands of quarries exist across the country but some can be disastrous. Jonathan Baksh, 19, jumped into Martin's Creek quarry in Pennsylvania in 2015, but he never made it back to land after suffering a cramp in the water. His mom was stunned when she found out her son was the second young man to die in quarry that year. Now, as the one year anniversary of her son's passing arrives next month, she's on a crusade to tell the world about the dangers of swimming in quarries. #InsideEdition
Not very good reporting. They didn't even explain what the actual danger was with the kid who died after coming up three times for help. Was it a sudden drop off in the depth? Was there some type of undercurrent? Other than stating that the water gets cold, and could get deep - neither of which was offered as the explanation for the kid's death - I didn't see what the point of the story was.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who was thinking this!
the video literally said he cramped up
This
Hmmm I didnt hear that but that would make sense if thats what happened. @@CloudHeady
Thank you! I just left a comment saying the same thing.
I couldn’t dare jump from that high knowing I could land right on a bulldozer
That’s not where they were jumping obviously. . .
@@bellan7140 Yeah that bulldozer was practically invisible.
what a dumb ass
Bruh you can see the water
😂😂
Friend of mine died diving into a quarry a week after we graduated from HS in 1964.
That's tragic, I'm sorry that happened to your friend.
Also, quite a number of quarry lakes can be toxic as well. Remember, some of these ponds can contain arsenic, fertilizers, and toxic poisons which is something you don't want to jump into.
I agree, I would never swim in a quarry.
Even more common is the silky sediment that changes the waters density and as a result makes you less buoyant. It also increases the resistance meaning you need a lot more energy and strength to swim in it. I'm not sure why this isn't mentioned as it's a really common danger and a HIDDEN danger.
Me: Mom I’m going swimming
Mom: Okay, make sure to check the water for bulldozers
That's funny
Lmqo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yez
I'll be more worried about what's in the water
Needles, bodies, knife, piranhas

All these people jumping sounds like they just broke all their ribs.
They use the same clip
No. We're fine. Lol.
It’s still scary. I did this before and I’m so glad I didn’t break any bones. The jump was not very high only 10 feet.
Were young we can take it
We clearly can’t ;-;
8 years later this is coming back and saving lives, I hope.
I was in 7th grade when A really nice boy from school died in a very similar accident, that was 10 years ago now and it's so crazy cuz his life was over before it even began, so glad she's willing to speak up on this cause and spread awareness

+meep meep Because of inexperience. Most never seen a wave, let alone played in surf.
Inside Edition: Think twice before swimming in a quarry. Also Inside Edition: here is a two minute montage of kids having a blast jumping in quarries
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. It's tragic, of course, when anyone dies, but how they put these videos together really undermines their message.
Lol smh
I think the message was: "It might look like fun, but it can cost you your life." So, the message was not contradictory at all. The juxtaposition was part of the lesson.

Life is dangerous. Obviously no one wants to lose a loved one but 19 people over 50 years is not a lot. You can't stop people from taking a small risk when we take them everyday in one way or another.
Stupidly at its best
19 people from simply diving IS A LOT.
@@subzero8344 how many people die a year from simply eating? When you think about it the number isn’t that high
19 people in one quarry is a lot

Don’t you hate when your just having a nice swim...
Then you find a freaking bulldozer
yeah i hate when that happens it happens all the time like whats with the bulldozers?
I wish man lol. I grew up too close to the ocean best I got was sunken or washed up ships.
everytime.

@@aaronballer2131 funny thing is, just a few minutes ago I too went to the kitchen for a snack, and now I'm a pineapple!
1) Don't dive from such a high elevation. Jump in straight like a pencil, feet first, legs closed, and butt cheeks clenched.
2) Beware of rocks when jumping into the water.
3) Don't swim long distances if you aren't a really strong swimmer.
4) If you get a cramp, just relax and float on your back until it's gone. The quicker you breathe in/out and tense up, the faster you will sink.
5) Stretch beforehand and stay hydrated. Otherwise there is a high possibility of getting a cramp.
6) Don't go swimming while high or drunk.
7) Have at least one strong swimmer in the group that can save you.
8) have at least one person in the group trained in CPR.
9) Use common sense.
Follow most/all of these rules and you should be safe.

im 12 and i really like swimming so thanks for the advice
Theresa Shores thanks
Theresa Shores you said buttcheek :D
I did not read all of that! 😛
She lost her son to this and yet she still warns people about quarries while showing her sons picture. God bless her soul and i hope she lives a good life🙏🙏🙏
What happened to her son was a tragedy. Quarries can be very dangerous, but they’re also usually some of the funnest places to swim. Back in the 70’s I used to swim at a place called Sherkston quarry in Ontario that had a submerged train at the bottom.
Why did jonathan just sink? Makes no sense at all.
Was he a strong swimmer?
@@houseofsolomon2440obviously not
@@timothyshort7925You missed the whole point of the video. What makes a quarry dangerous is that you don't know what's under the water. Underwater streams/rivers can produce an undertow that pulls you under, no matter how strong. You can hit a patch of cold water and lose feeling in your limbs. Something on the bottom could be leaching toxic fumes that make you faint - it's an old mining pit, who knows what's under there?
@@houseofsolomon2440 The video says he cramped up and couldn't move.
yea probably just not worth it tho
A friend of mine broke his neck and got paralyzed quadriplegic when diving into a quarry. His friend had to dive in and save him he was trapped under the water.
Damn ... I am so sorry to read that. At least his friend pulled him out of the water and he did not drown. ... That's still a very sad situation though :(
Wow so sad
I think the point of this story is to be careful when jumping/diving/swimming into unknown waters. it doesn’t seem that specific to quarries other than the construction equipment that can be in there and suddenly cold temps that can lead to cramps. I think also the issue is some of these teens may be drunk and swimming while drunk is just a bad idea anywhere
That totally happened my guy
@@sprigganmint9291 -.-
😥
Sorry for her loss. The ocean isn't much different. People been swimming and drowning in water since the beginning of time. Practice saftey when swimming.
Rivers can have random spots where the water is going downwards so hard and fast that things that will normally float will be sucked under and held under from the force and that's the cause of most drownings because its impossible to get out of that situation without a rope cause it's like trying to swim through air while being pulled down with extreme force
I don't think the human race has been Around "since the beginning of time"...
@@142horizon Wow, you're smart! That's what you want to hear, right? Please teach us all about the beginning of time and where the human race fits into it. 🙄
@@Cokie907
Right? I just assumed the OP meant since the beginning of our time. Horizon is just trolling. The comment makes perfect sense.
The ocean is a hundred times more dangerous than a quarry.
What I was able to gather from other sources it was from a cramp. Which could have happened in any source of water not just the quarry itself. Everyone just needs to be aware of their swim ability and take better safety precautions when swimming anywhere.

@@bamgold4677 what
@@Ts_AubrieTaylor I have a crush on you. How has life been whats new ::::::::
This is really helpful, because it still can be fun, like any activity, but I wasn’t aware of the many dangers. I also thank the comment section of this video for bringing up other important facts like having proper diving technique to not hurt yourself
Not to mention the fact that if you dive in wrong you could potentially paralyse yourself if you don’t have good form.
Right. Hitting the water at high speed like that can feel like hitting concrete
Or the classic, the water is shallower than you thought

Did anyone realize that they used the same splash sound every time.
🤣🤣🤣

I did!!!
Oh my That’s pretty good heard🥳
Same scream effects too. Same woman yelling when the dude hits the water in every clip. Really noticeable at the end.
I feel so bad for this mom this just make me sad and I hope no people don’t make the same fate as her son, I hope he flys high😢
Very sad and May Gif give his mother strength to cope through these hard times .
"Don't swim in quarries"

Attention LOOOL ikr it influenced me to do it more
All part of the point made - a popular activity is a dangerous one hence the need to promote awareness.
Attention ikr😂
Attention .
Its like the southpark "drink responsibly" commercial scene lmao
"Swimming in quarries is dangerous", they say. But what actually killed him? No one says now :(
Yeah because there is multiple dangers with quarries. Such as possible large rocks underneath the water, deep water, freezing water , miss timed jumps and so on.
@@puskasisagod1235 In the description it said he got a cramp and drowned
@@puskasisagod1235 I don't see how quarries would have 'currents' . It is just a hole filled with water
@@justinflanders7754 so it has nothing to to with the quarry. Could have happened in any waters.
The water in quarries is stagnant, it doesn't move, therefore very little oxygen in the water making it very hard to stay afloat
Very sad, sorry for loss of your son.
Sending love and support to this mother
Soooo did anyone notice they gave NO exact cause of death for the kid??
Sidenote, that last guy jumped from Heaven man!! Lmao
Cause of death was drowning after suffering cramp. It's in the description. Probably the cold caused the cramp.
I thought there was like alligators in it and they dragged him down.
I thought it was like an undertoe current or something
@@bumboybarker2665 Cramps can happen completely out of nowhere for no apparent reason. His mom blaming the quarry isn't really valid.
Ciena Ramirez has oq
This seems less about quarry danger and more about the lack of ability to swim combined with ignoring universal water safety precautions.
And it actually makes me WANT to go to a quarry and jump into the water.
Choco Manger darlaktt
Choco Manger RIGHT
Buddy system and life jackets
Yeah i kept thinking “this could apply to literally any body of water”... I think the guy just couldn’t swim and drowned. How ridiculous.
Enter at your own risk. Don’t tell people they can’t go in.
I can confirm the “Blue Hole” as we call it or the quarry out here in South Jersey is very dangerous. We had a couple of people pass away from the big drops and freezing temperatures in the last few summers. Stay safe y’all💯
So he jumped into the quarry, swam screamed for help and drowned? What exactly happened?
Every quarry has a creature that lurks in its depths. That's probably what got him.
Like a shark
He got a cramp. It's in the description.
It's pretty stupid for the mom to put up signs in quarrys when suffering a cramp in ANY body of water can kill. The mom and Inside Edition make it seem like there's something nefarious about quarrys that needs to be exposed. That's why they don't mention the cramp in the video, because anyone in their right mind would spot sensationalism.
Alan Manso he got sucked underwater and drowned
@@grass1366 He got cramp underwater, water can't sucks in people inside. 😂😂
So he just drowned in deep water?
That isn't exclusive to quarries.
JackDManheim
It’s the danger of quarries that you can,t see how deep the water is
@@christiniakollar8397 I was voicing my frustration with this video because it doesn't actually say how the boy died.
They just mention him struggling in the deeper waters.
@@JackDManheim
ikr like a lake,ocean,pool etc can also be deep.
they said he went down and didnt come back up
Perhaps his leg got caught on something like a long piece of metal
temp difference between surface and just below is INCREDIBLE.
the shock can cause muscle cramps.
Sorry for your loss

Do it in Minecraft ...
At least it's safe and sound
Black Berry 梁 FALSE MINECRAFT HAS MORE ADDICTS THAN COCCAINE.
Here is an idea, if you love freefalling in water, do it at the Olympic pool where there open to public and you can use there extreme high board and jump off as many times you want, they have equipment in the pool like you see in hot tub where they reduce water tension.

How?
We have a quarry near where I live. Not a lot of people know about it because it's on private property my uncle used to own. I go there every summer. I don't jump off the cliffs, but I do swim. It's beautiful.
So sorry for the kids families.
Didn't mention what the cause of death was though. Did he strike something while swimming across? Did the temperature change and his body froze up?
In the description it says he got cramps
A strong swimmer wont drown from a cramp...Obviously he shouldn't have tried to swim across if he didnt feel confident to do it. So why blame the quarry? It could have happened at a pool or beach.
+KlixTrio what makes you think he didn't feel confident enough to swim across it?? I don't believe you know what his thought process was at the time.
its in the description, but i think they didn't really mention it because the fact he was in a quarry had nothing to do with it. he had a cramp and was too far out... which could happen in any large water body.
+KlixTrio it does
So many people have died in pools but that doesn't stop people from swimming
Or the ocean
so many people have died by old age but that doesnt stop people from living
Hildi Elle true

How did he come up 3x to scream help and then get pulled back down. It never said what it was in the water that attacked the young man who unfortunately died?

It's possible he got a cramp because of the sudden Temperature change.
+MCgoos09/BelgianCat yep, a current could have done it
They explain the dangers of quarries throughout the video. It doesn't matter if only 19 people died since then, people still died and it can happen again.
+MCgoos09/BelgianCat that's a good reason
+Anna bella For one thing, it's generally harder to get out of a quarry than more conventional swimming places.
the warning is really about property educating your kids and actually having the ability to influence your child.
😞:-( RIP,Jonathan Baksh.😞
I don’t understand how someone can record the kid but they can’t save them
You can't save a body you can't find. That waters hard to see in. If they had to jump in then look for him that's too much time past. Drowning takes minutes. Life vest should be worn in open bodies of water. No-one is a superhero they could be right beside you and try to save you and still may not be able to.
Bit of Everything But he went up 3 times, they had enough time to go after him.

The scary part is not the jump, the scary part is swimming across. That why you should try quarries that arent too far from land. It happened tto me similarly at a wave pool which I thought was easy to swim across but I ended up loosing most of my strength before getting to the other side and I was almost forced to ask for help to the lifeguards. I realized my girlfriend who crossed first didnt have this problem since she was a proffessional swimmer. Be aware of your limitations guys
Which quarries aren’t far from land?
Life has become too safe for some.
If he got a cramp it wasn't the quarry's fault

This should've been how to survive a SWIMMERS CRAMP. The quarry was not why he died.
Ummmm... actually the Quarry IS the reason he died. The extreme difference in temperatures in the water, is what caused his muscles to tighten and cramp in the first place. But way to listen. 👌🏻
You probably can die of of a cramp in the bath as well or
He hit bottom on something hard and probably injured something

I grew up swimming in a quarry, diving from the highest point I could find and swimming across it. I remember being terrified of not making it across. I was only around twelve at the time. Only one of the many, MANY times I should have died as a youngster, I'm 60 now.
Shut up, James!
Planning on living forever? So far so good…. :)
Quarry’s always seemed the safest to me because the water is atleast 100 feet deep. Only thing is the high jump or some animal in the water
James, you should probably go back and try to swim across the quarry again. Your destiny needs to be fulfilled. Thus sayeth the prophet, ME. : )
Like you, looking, I should have died many times.
Thank you 🙏🏾

What I learned:
If you jump into a quarry there’s a chance of you breaking your back on a bulldozer
If you mess up, you become one with the quarry
just have someone check before jumping or stay at known jumping spots
You have a low chance of jumping into a bulldozer
But never 0

Losing a loved one is never easy. The fact she is warning other people not to go there is so sweet.
Nah, it's silly. The quarry wasn't the problem. Her son overestimating his swimming abilities, getting a cramp, and not knowing how to float killed him
@@aidanaldrich7795 It's great that you're an expert and all, but how do you know he didn't hit a really cold patch of water and lose feeling in his limbs, or get sucked under by an underground stream/outlet, or breathe in toxic gases leaching up from something on the bottom like Sulfur Dioxide and get faint or sick?
If it makes you feel better to think that swimming in an old mining pit is safe, then go ahead, no one is stopping you. But not everybody's son or daughter is an expert swimmer like you, so they might want to keep their non-expert swimmer kids out of a quarry so they don't drown.
I always swim in quarries and we always check if it's safe to jump
How do you check?
+John Escobedo Typically you swim and if it is deep enough then it is safe. There is also a technique cliff divers use so that they won't land straight on thee ground. Let's say you do a triple backflip off of a 70 foot cliff. The water is around 100 feet. That is a bit sketchy but as soon as you hit the water you would kind of do a J shape with your body so that you wouldn't go straight down. You would like of curve off a bit. It's hard to explain but you could look up cliff diving tutorials or whatever to understand better.
+MasterBuilder15 Alright thanks. Hopefully I could go to a quarry one day.
+John Escobedo yeah. I've never been to one but my friends have and I have also been cliff diving hundreds of times at lakes and beaches.
That's the only way, huh?
So how is this any different than going swimming at a lake?? Temperature inversions don’t differ just because it’s a quarry, the water temperature is going to drop after a couple feet of depth in a lake as well. Lakes get deeper unexpectedly, it’s an over-reach to deem a quarry unsafe. If you swim out from shore on a lake it’s no less dangerous if you don’t know your own swimming abilities and you should always consider swimming with someone close by.
one time my moms cousin drove a truck into a quarry (he survived) its still at the bottom to this day
It's the same concept with jumping off of bridges.
Reilly Len True. A boy (really young) died by falling off one into water. He didn't drown but instead it was the pressure and how high up it was.

And she just doesn't try to swim it's like she throws herself under
They have those in the ocean, too
This Mother Cares !
Johnathan , REST IN PEACE and be your mother’s GUARDIAN ANGEL .
As heartbreaking as it must be for her, there's no logic to this way if thinking. The point of life isn't to be safe. Life is full of things that can seriously harm or kill us, and more people die swimming in the sea or rivers than will ever die swimming in flooded quarries.
I grew up swimming in them and, as with most things, as long as you use common sense and don't overestimate your abilities then you'll be fine and can have a lot of fun.
It don't matter if a I get a cramp in water, I'm fighting my cramp and get to surface, it's either deal with the pain and get to land or drown because it hurts to much.
NO PAIN NO GAIN
Yea I don't get it. He must of panicked
Guys he died, shut up it could happen to u
No you shut up and it won't happen to anyone with half a brain.
Dude same I was in a pool and my upper thigh got a cramp and it hurt like hell but I was not letting myself drown that day I toughed it out and I'm still alive like what the hell I was in 12 feet deep water and I'm 5 feet Tall I don't understand but I know that maybe it was different I feel sadden by that day rip
Another disappointing video from inside edition!
Didn’t even say how the kids died. Just that there can be drop offs and cold water! 🤦♀️
