Swimming in a quarry can be dangerous for many reasons, including: Depth and cold water Quarries can be very deep and cold, which can cause muscles to weaken, shock, or hypothermia. Hidden hazards Quarries can contain submerged plants, machinery, car wrecks, ledges, and tunnels that can drag you under, trap you, or impale you. These obstacles can be hard to see until you're already in the water. Pollution Quarry water can contain rubbish, toxic algae, and other pollutants that can irritate your eyes and skin, cause stomach problems, and lead to fungal infections and rashes. Electric currents Quarries can have dangerous electric currents that can be deadly underwater.
@@blackcherry6877there's no reason to be afraid either, always check if you find a random body of water. "John decided he wanted to swim across the water". Sorry but John was dumb
I lost my son one year ago. You don't just get over it and move on. That child was a part of your life, a part of your body. I'm praying that I will see him again someday 🙏❤️
It's not as easy as riding a bike. My best friend's(R.I.P 1996-2020) mother hasn't recovered, and i think never will since she lost him. Hell, im still traumatized about it, and i can still hear the wails of his mother as they held her when she saw him in his casket. She couldn't believe her boy was gone.

@@carolhanson8330 idk if this is true or not but if it is; then im sorry to hear about that, I don’t know what it’s like to lose a son but I do know what it’s like to loose someone so close that you consider him family
I know someone who jumped off a quarry ledge and landed wrong in the water. She broke her neck,shattered a hip,and broke a couple ribs. She landed feet first. My friend and I had to help get her to top of water and keep her body laying on top of water until rescue emergency copter came. She missed about a half a year of school.
This is sad. I swam in quarries all the time as a kid. On certain day, you could see the jagged pieces of metal and entire trees right under the surface. It really is incredibly dangerous to swim in places like that. It’s been 9 years. I hope she has found a way to move forward and be happy again.
I grew up in Louisiana when I was younger there was a kid die in a sand Quarry jumping and swimming in the water jumped in one of the pools and it turned out to be a massive nest of water moccasins
I recall a friend in high school who dove headfirst into the lake/quarry and couldn't come up bc she'd hit a submerged log & lost consciousness... she was very lucky to survive and not be paralyzed.
inside edition had 1 job & failed to deliver the news. but its a short from them taken from a video 7 years ago - even there they failed to say the reasons (out of content today huh?). but yes he cramp (they only mentioned it in the description) (may due sudden temp drop in deep water?)

The description of this TH-cam short stated he never made it back after suffering a cramp. The death of this mom's son is a reminder: do NOT swim in quarries! You can suffer cramps at any time, or there could be other hazards in the water!
That's not exactly it. In quarries the water can be incredibly cold. There's another comment on here that explains all the dangers. She's definitely saving lives by doing this. It's not "just a cramp".
Yea what she said above. ^^^^ there's far more dangerous things to worry about then a few cramps even if u have a leg cramp or any cramp u can still swim with your arms and other leg and or float on your back until that cramp goes away 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@heatherleigh414 YOU think a leg cramp is no big deal? I gt a cramp in my calf that was so painful I literally could not move my whole body it was so debilitating had I been in water I would have drown. There is nothing as far as I know you can do till the cramp goes away It lasted at least 5 mins thank God I wasn't in the water..
Why it is dangerous to swim in quarries: 1.) water temperatures: quarries can be very cold which can quickly lead to hypothermia. 2.) depth: they can be very deep but the depth ranges also change dramatically. 3.) unseen hazards: Quarries can contain abandoned machinery, car wrecks, underwater ledges, and sharp rocks.
When I was 18 we swimming at a lake, someone had the idea of swimming out to a buoy and back, it was about 100yds out. As we swam out we thought we could rest while hanging on the buoy… but when we got there it was barely buoyant sinking with only a little pressure. A little panic set in amongst us, we immediately starting back. One kid didn’t make it. I didn’t know her, very sad.
Wow I had the almost same experience but we luckily all survived. I was the one who could have lost her life. On the way back because we couldn’t go up on the buoy and the water was soo cold, I got bad cramps in my legs, and I couldn’t call out to my friends, they were almost back to the shore. So I used what my mother told me “if you ever get cramps in placid cold water - float. It will keep you on the surface that is warmer and use your arms to swim back to the shore. So I did and survived. It wasn’t before I was almost back at shore my friends saw that something was wrong.
People unfortunately get paralyzed from jumping in old quarrys around here all the time. Doesnt matter how many signs and fences you put up. People still get in
@@heatherleigh414 Ah yes, being unable to swim because my leg is in agony and not doing what I want while I'm swimming is nothing to worry about, my bad.
@@heatherleigh414 swimmers' nightmare is a leg cramp . If you aren't kicking, you're drowning. Yes there can be crocs but the chance is less in a quarry .
I don't know about quarrie... But there's a spot in Arkansas that looks like that. We call it the jumping cliffs. Everyone knows though that it goes shallow then deep shallow than deep. You got to check it before you jump.
@@User97788 Well I guess I've never seen one for public use. Guess the quarry is out of business. You know. Closed and no more blasting granite any longer.
The quarry my brother died at didn't have signs or fences and still to this day it doesn't. People still jump and swim there. Accidents like this happen. It's no different than driving a vehicle and have an accident. People still drive.
There's big things in those waters.. me and my brother saw something the size of a wale under the water one morning that we went out fishing never found out what in the world was it.we thought it was a seal becuase it took a big breath before jumping into the water...
So basically water has currents right and normally that’s not a problem to swim in when it’s a lake or pool or something but what happens in an abandoned quarry is that with all the old equipment and sharp edges, and the generally weird shape of the lake means those currents move very erratically moving in and out of the equipment and that can cause it to spin and pull you down. It could also be something as simple as him getting his foot caught on something that then got shaken loose and drug him under.
Please teach your kids to tread water and how to float on their back. That's what our (Navy) Dad did with the 4 of us, and 2 of us can say that it saved our lives over the years. Mine was when I got pulled out to sea in a rip tide. When I was tired, I could totally relax my body and float on my back, slow my breathing, and rest. The other thing he taught us was from him being a diver. If you're under water and become disoriented, stay still and you'll float upward. Also, bubbles rise.
Just remember don’t swim in quarries that has been abandoned and full of water cause it has bunch of chemicals that will kill you. It should be common knowledge sooner or later.
I am 38 never knew this I don't know much about these types of places so I'd say not common knowledge for some don't get me wrong I've been to places like this just never been one for heights 😅I'd probably get t a ledge and fall off because I get wobbly when near a edge I actually love camping but I am a sissy when it comes to steep trails I mean I'd be the one scooting on my butt 2 get down 😅
No one should swim in any pool of water whether a reservoir, quarry or lake unless it or an area of it is designated as safe to swim or jump off of. Period.
We did a logging job up on mountain lake PA. it was brutal in the winter they even had pictures of when they skidded the hotel across the lake with horses in the winter 1 old guy I talk to said there was places in the lake that had no bottom a person drowned in the lake and the found his body 6 miles away in a stream.

How tragic. Here in the UK I do believe that we have danger signs near most bodies of water. What I didn’t know until recently is most drownings occur because the water is so cold it puts your body into shock that you can’t recover from. The thing is, in the summer it’s great fun to swim or dive into the water. I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful young man he was
@@robertawallace9817 True true. I'm more just annoyed at how these videos make it seem like it's the quarries fault, instead of bringing attention to the importance of safe swimming.
@twofeathersat6707 I understand . Yet every year, come summer and hot weather youngsters put themselves at risk There have been many campaigns to warn of the dangers but youth is impetuous. 😔 sad
Love how they explained why it’s dangerous and how her son died. From the look of him and the mom he had some black in him and we all know the majority of them can’t swim so that’s probably why. For normal humans though swimming is uhh…….. not that difficult. 😂🤷🏼♂️

Sorry to say but accidents happen. People have car accidents too and people still drive. My brother died while jumping into a quarry lake. But he was with alot of people he knew and they were doing it all day. And to this day they're still doing it. We didn't sue bcuz it was an accident. Would you sue the car manufacturer for a car accident? Or if you crashed on your bicycle? It's an accident.
Quarries have always been dangerous. You're definitely taking your chances diving because you have no idea of the depths or rocks. Unless you know the area well.
Quarries do have signs around them and in most cases a fence but this is what happens when you’re a stupid teenager that doesn’t pay attention to warning signs and have the survival skills of a rock…
I swam across lake shasta before, i got bad cramps half way in the middle, my instinct kicked and i remained calm and let myself float and accept the pain, then i slowly pushed with my feet and floated across.
@@sleeprasta7055I had that experience too. My mom made sure her children knew how to float and what to do if we ever had a cramp swimming. And I was lucky to survive, using my arms to steer back to shore. But not everyone have that knowledge and if they panic, it will end terribly.
Rule #1 If problem in water, don't panic. #2 If your legs cramp get on your back and float. Arch your back, use your arms to tread the water, call for help.
People don't "just die". Why did this kid suddenly drown? As a child I learned to swim in a quarry lake. No one ever drowned in this quarry despite the fact the quarry was very large and 300+ ft deep in spots. This story is missing crucial info...like was he drunk or high? Did he know how to swim? Story is questionable. EDIT: Kid died from "a cramp". This had nothing to do with the quarry. 🙄
It’s LITERALLY in the description box. How about click it and READ. It was a major cramp. He couldn’t swim after that from the cold water. He drowned. The end. Next time check the description box.
Ok based on what i found 1. It was private property, he should not have been there And 2. They don't know why he died He just went under and didn't come back up
I'm sorry for her loss but I think it common sense that diving into and swimming in a quarry is dangerous. I have heard of dozens of accidents like this and I don't even live near one.
As a young man myself one day I had a cramp in my leg if you tried to fight the cramp it'll get worse and you lock up and you panic I fortunately did not fight the cramp and relaxed and the cramp went away I believe this can happen to anyone at any time
this happened to a boy in high school where i live. he went head first and hit a jagged rock. he somehow survived thank the lord with no major effects long term. teens being teens arent really thinking about it. we used to go to quarrys and jump off of railroad bridges. much love and peace to this mother ❤
*Prayers out to her, that she stays strong and continue to get that message out. At first, I was thinking he probably could've been saved if people weren't just recording with their phones instead of trying to help him. But, they mentioned he was the second person to die. Kinda makes me think, what happened to the first person and why a message wasn't spread out and warn people after that incident?*
Grew up swimming in quarries ,no one ever drowned- luckily. Any body of water without lifeguards is a danger potentially. Here in Mn where we have thousands of lakes drownings happen every year
Seriously? It wasn't obvious to not swim in a quarry? And some people have the audacity to want the video to explain why?! That's like wanting to know why you shouldn't put any body part on a hot stovetop!
Unexpectedly cold water can cause a swimmer's muscles to suddenly weaken; it can also cause shock, cold water shock and even hypothermia. Though quarry water is often very clear, submerged quarry stones and abandoned equipment make diving and jumping into these quarries extremely dangerous. -Google
I used to go cliff jumping into a river in the UK when i was a young teen. One particular winter we decided to go jumping there even though the water was flowing at a rapid speed. I was the first to jump and almost drowned due to the current. It was a miracle i made it back to land. We all realised how stupid we had been (especially me) and got the hell out of there. The very next day a kayaker died in the exact same spot due to getting flipped due to the current. Sends a shiver down my spine every time I think about it.
My uncle died at the same age as this young man in the same manner. He drowned in a quarry 50+ years ago. My grandmother's oldest of six. He died before my mom was a teenager.
Gotta love shorts. Says how bad something is, yet never tells you why. Everyone criticizes the media for sleight of hand but no one ever cares about TH-cam, Insta, TikTok, Etc.
Quarry swimming has ALWAYS been very dangerous. Many kids have been swimming in them for decades with tragic consequences. Surprised there wasn’t signs already.

Swimming in a quarry can be dangerous for many reasons, including:
Depth and cold water
Quarries can be very deep and cold, which can cause muscles to weaken, shock, or hypothermia.
Hidden hazards
Quarries can contain submerged plants, machinery, car wrecks, ledges, and tunnels that can drag you under, trap you, or impale you. These obstacles can be hard to see until you're already in the water.
Pollution
Quarry water can contain rubbish, toxic algae, and other pollutants that can irritate your eyes and skin, cause stomach problems, and lead to fungal infections and rashes.
Electric currents
Quarries can have dangerous electric currents that can be deadly underwater.
Exactly, thanks for this information. There is no reason to jump into this body of water.

What I didn’t know until recently is most drownings occur because the water is so cold it puts your body into shock that you can’t recover from. The thing is, in the summer it’s great fun to swim or dive into the water. I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful young man he was
It’s not the quarry’s fault, it’s the swimmers.
We know but have a heart.
The young man made a mistake and it cost him his life.
Your not really being helpful.
Please have a little compassion.
@@robertawallace9817 True true. I'm more just annoyed at how these videos make it seem like it's the quarries fault, instead of bringing attention to the importance of safe swimming.
@twofeathersat6707
I understand .
Yet every year, come summer and hot weather youngsters put themselves at risk
There have been many campaigns to warn of the dangers but youth is impetuous.
😔 sad
Love how they explained why it’s dangerous and how her son died. From the look of him and the mom he had some black in him and we all know the majority of them can’t swim so that’s probably why.
For normal humans though swimming is uhh…….. not that difficult. 😂🤷🏼♂️

She should sue whoever manages that after the first person died they should have closed it down
They probably did
Sorry to say but accidents happen. People have car accidents too and people still drive.
My brother died while jumping into a quarry lake. But he was with alot of people he knew and they were doing it all day. And to this day they're still doing it. We didn't sue bcuz it was an accident.
Would you sue the car manufacturer for a car accident? Or if you crashed on your bicycle?
It's an accident.
Quarries have always been dangerous. You're definitely taking your chances diving because you have no idea of the depths or rocks. Unless you know the area well.
Why couldnt they put up a sign about no swimming in quarries? If they had a sign there, this would’ve never happened.
Quarries do have signs around them and in most cases a fence but this is what happens when you’re a stupid teenager that doesn’t pay attention to warning signs and have the survival skills of a rock…
How did he go down? Was something in the water or did he just drown?
He had a cramp
@@ItsNeverMe Ohhhh ok
Kid probably didn't know how to swim. Poor dude, rip
knew..he had a cramp, it is said in description....probably because of the cold water pockets
@@Elena-fe3osyes!
I swam across lake shasta before, i got bad cramps half way in the middle, my instinct kicked and i remained calm and let myself float and accept the pain, then i slowly pushed with my feet and floated across.
@@sleeprasta7055I had that experience too. My mom made sure her children knew how to float and what to do if we ever had a cramp swimming. And I was lucky to survive, using my arms to steer back to shore.
But not everyone have that knowledge and if they panic, it will end terribly.
@@greeneyedshetiger its important for us to teach all this wisdom to our future generations
I am so very sorry over the loss of your beautiful son
😢
Rule #1 If problem in water, don't panic. #2 If your legs cramp get on your back and float. Arch your back, use your arms to tread the water, call for help.
But what did they die from???
No swimming lessons
He had a cramp
You had one job to say what was so dangerous. People suck at their job so bad.
People don't "just die". Why did this kid suddenly drown? As a child I learned to swim in a quarry lake. No one ever drowned in this quarry despite the fact the quarry was very large and 300+ ft deep in spots. This story is missing crucial info...like was he drunk or high? Did he know how to swim? Story is questionable. EDIT: Kid died from "a cramp". This had nothing to do with the quarry. 🙄
A query is just as dangerous as pond, lakes, rivers
There was something horrible in the water.
It's a old abandoned quarry so depending on that was mined from the area....
Maybe, he had a cramp.
What was in the water with him if anything ? Not getting the whole true story here.❤
He gad a cramp
It’s LITERALLY in the description box. How about click it and READ. It was a major cramp. He couldn’t swim after that from the cold water. He drowned. The end. Next time check the description box.
I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless.
I feel bad for the mom, losing a child is the worst thing any parent can experience, rip Johnathan
I'm continually inspired by the courage of those who share their thoughts and ideas here. It's empowering.👄
What was the danger tho
He had a cramp
Ok based on what i found
1. It was private property, he should not have been there
And 2. They don't know why he died
He just went under and didn't come back up
No, this whole thing was ruined because the narrator said “but then tragedy struck”
The best knowledge a mom can pass on to her children is “common sense “.
Okay, so this didn't explain how he died in relation to swimming in specifically a quarry??? 🤷♀️
So cold, he got a cramp
This is horrific. That poor mother. People need to have more fear and respect for bodies of water. I will be praying for them ❤
I'm sorry for her loss but I think it common sense that diving into and swimming in a quarry is dangerous. I have heard of dozens of accidents like this and I don't even live near one.
Poor woman. She doesn't want to change a thing because she's afraid she'll forget. Heartwrenching just to think about her immense suffering
Poor guy, may he rest in peace and prayers for his Family.
WOW...I WENT TO HS WITH A GUY WHO DROWNED HIS NAME WAS ALSO JOHN....THE START OF THIS REEL TOOK ME BACK....GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY & FRIENDS
As a young man myself one day I had a cramp in my leg if you tried to fight the cramp it'll get worse and you lock up and you panic I fortunately did not fight the cramp and relaxed and the cramp went away I believe this can happen to anyone at any time
Title says “reason why its dangerous to swim in quarries” and you proceed to sell us a sob story instead of informing us.
this happened to a boy in high school where i live. he went head first and hit a jagged rock. he somehow survived thank the lord with no major effects long term. teens being teens arent really thinking about it. we used to go to quarrys and jump off of railroad bridges. much love and peace to this mother ❤
Great white shark no damn joke
Yea ur the joke how would that be in a quarry?
*Prayers out to her, that she stays strong and continue to get that message out. At first, I was thinking he probably could've been saved if people weren't just recording with their phones instead of trying to help him. But, they mentioned he was the second person to die. Kinda makes me think, what happened to the first person and why a message wasn't spread out and warn people after that incident?*
It's dangerous to swim anywhere she just is looking for a lawsuit.
If you don't know how to swim put a life jacket on,
This is not the quarries fault.
Grew up swimming in quarries ,no one ever drowned- luckily. Any body of water without lifeguards is a danger potentially. Here in Mn where we have thousands of lakes drownings happen every year
Wow that’s wild. Poor guy. Prolly thought it was just a harmless swim and then before you know it drowned. How tragic 😞
Remember fellow teenagers, if you gonna do something cool and stupid. Think bout your family
If you don't know a water and there isn't a local swimming in it especially if it's not a beach don't go in there. It's probably empty for a reason.
New title "why swimming when you cant swim, can be dangerous"
You should be more worried about the toxic level in that quarry water...
If you cant swim , stop blaming the water
jumping high, and no lifeguards. nothing extra ordinary here. its just deep water, heights, and dumb kids.
Seriously? It wasn't obvious to not swim in a quarry? And some people have the audacity to want the video to explain why?! That's like wanting to know why you shouldn't put any body part on a hot stovetop!
Unexpectedly cold water can cause a swimmer's muscles to suddenly weaken; it can also cause shock, cold water shock and even hypothermia. Though quarry water is often very clear, submerged quarry stones and abandoned equipment make diving and jumping into these quarries extremely dangerous.
-Google
The water is filthy, loads of under water hazards. Please don't swim in them.
I'm sorry for your loss hopefully helping others will give the loss of your son the ability to help heal you and help others
I used to go cliff jumping into a river in the UK when i was a young teen. One particular winter we decided to go jumping there even though the water was flowing at a rapid speed.
I was the first to jump and almost drowned due to the current. It was a miracle i made it back to land.
We all realised how stupid we had been (especially me) and got the hell out of there.
The very next day a kayaker died in the exact same spot due to getting flipped due to the current.
Sends a shiver down my spine every time I think about it.
I've been in that quarry. I can't believe he tried to swim across.
My uncle died at the same age as this young man in the same manner. He drowned in a quarry 50+ years ago. My grandmother's oldest of six. He died before my mom was a teenager.
I loved when the video described why quarries can be dangerous.
stupidity kills...not the water
The qarry's so dangerous, the narrator can't even begin to explain why.
TREACH YOU CHILDREN TO SWIM.
Gotta love shorts. Says how bad something is, yet never tells you why. Everyone criticizes the media for sleight of hand but no one ever cares about TH-cam, Insta, TikTok, Etc.
Quarry swimming has ALWAYS been very dangerous. Many kids have been swimming in them for decades with tragic consequences. Surprised there wasn’t signs already.
That's been known since I was 16, and I am now 70. You don't swim in Quarries.
Too many deaths!
Starting to think the reason why its called a quarry is because you start a quarrel with it jumping in
