- Lt. David Love of the New York State Palisades Park Police shows Times Herald-record reporter Keith Goldberg where 16 year-old Kelly Cortesi of Putnum Valley suffered a fatal head injury Sunday and why the unauthorized swimming spot is so dangerous.
me and my friends wanna go here to jump. how do i get here? i live in rockland county, so i need to take the palisades...can u help?
@RobIsTheMan My father used to dive off that old bridge back in the day. Not a good idea and he strictly forbid me from swimming there. When I was a kid it seemed every summer someone was getting injured/dying there.
All from out of town, lots of kids from NJ used to go there, get drunk, try to impress their friends by diving off the 'hillslde'/platform. Locals never had a problem. I walked the dam once with friends - DUMB, don't ever try it unless u r looking to loose your life !!
we use to swim in the reservoir - end to end- memories
@CronoLegend If you insist on doing this, make sure you realize you have to clear the rocks below, Wear sneakers and hold your hands straight up when going in. Having said this, you are really risking lie/limb.
Why bother ? It can be VERY slippery there... you slip and thats all she wrote. Those rocks/mine shaft are unforgiving !!There are old cables in there. Listen to the Lt. here. I grew up with him, hes talking the truth. ENJOY your youth, have fun somewhere much safer.Just isn't worth it.
i grew up in the area. use to go down here 2 - 3 times a week in the summer to jump and swim since it was such a cool place to go to. sorry to hear that someone lost their life to experience it.
use to swim there frequently- it had the waterfall where you could sit undisturbed- the old kids- we were 10-12 from west haverstraw would stand on cable, we were told, for the the older kids jumping off the cliff- what a trip and memories- afriend almost drowned there and i helped push him to safety- steven young
Slippery rocks may not seem like much but they will lead to serious injury and possibly death if underestimated.
Oh yeah steep places can fool you! I've chanced some in the past and trust me, it wasn't as easy as it appeared. I really don't recommend it :o
rest in peace
@CronoLegend yea not sure the names of the roads that well but i know when u get off the palisades u come to a circle go around the circle and exit to the left u cross over a bridge NOT THE big bridge in front of u!!!! then its a a quick left right after the bridge i think the name is firemans drive take that for a minute u will see a park park your car there and walk up the road that says u cant park its a like a five minute walk up on the left side of the road a few boulders mark the entrence
Rest in Peace. We love you and will miss you Kelly
@RobIsTheMan done this plenty of times got a phatty ticket last year and said fuck it havnt gone back u know any more 25+ foot jumps around?
@KellyThundercloud And if you get yer a** knocked out on one of the submerged rocks, you don't swim very well.Once under, no one else can see you beneath the surface of the water. Not easy dragging a KO'd body out of there either. I watched 'em haul a guy outta here after he landed on one of the submerged cables from the old bridge. Slit his leg from ankle to hip. Very lucky he had brave friends who managed to get him out. An iffy proposition at best. Many are unaware of all the hazards here.
I have been there a 100 times. In ain't dangerous. Most deaths are due to intoxicated teens coming there. Some even at night
The consensus is that it's dangerous & that's why they called it Hell Hole - if you're not lucky/careful, it's the portal to Hell.
@@LidaGeh I live here in town and can say that the trash that these people leave behind is sickening. Go trash your own town and see how you feel about the trash. And this morning they pulled another DEAD BODY out of Hell Hole!
