We need to drill much more “don’t fuck about near water” education into kids, at school and at home.

Sad for the families of course but this shit is so avoidable at this point, this happens every single time it’s a little bit hot. Large bodies of water are very dangerous people! Respect the water, because it sure as shit doesn’t respect you.

Happens every year and its seems pretty avoidable.
What is happening though, is it just that it is colder than people expect? I can’t imagine people are going in if they can’t swim.

One of these was near me, it wasn’t a lake they were swimming in, it was an old gravel pit. They look like they have a nice sandy shoreline and shallow water, but drop off suddenly and are freezing cold for most of the year.
The first reports of it were that he had gone missing in the lake, expect they were jumping in from one of the banks, he had gone into cold water shock and just sunk to the bottom.

It’s not officially summer until avoidable shit like this happens. Serves as a good warning to everyone else.

I was in Llangollen on Saturday and some youths were jumping from [Llangollen Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llangollen_Bridge) into the water below (the River Dee)
The water below didn’t look deep and I’d be amazed if nobody was injured
Super sad
I wonder if the same happens in other countries?
