We jumped off waterfalls all of the time when I was a teenager, but sometimes people died. We never cared about the danger then, but seeing it on the news as an adult is scary!
In Pennsylvania there are a lot of abandoned quarries due to flooding… unexpected flooding… which means all of the quarry equipment is still underneath the water. I’m talking large quarry equipment! So besides worrying about large boulders, you may die by jumping onto a large underwater machine! Ouch…
Please always have someone check the “swimming hole” at the bottom of a waterfall to check for any immediate danger, and that doesn’t mean there isn’t any if you don’t see or feel any!
Every summer in South Eastern, PA someone dies from jumping off a waterfall or dam… so please be careful!
