“One student did a dive into a local lake from a cliff, and the water wasn’t quite deep enough. She went from prom queen and straight-A student to not being able to speak or even know her name, and this would most likely be for the rest of her life.
Another student (at the same famous swimming spot) became completely wheelchair bound with no movement from the neck down after jumping from the rocks feet-first when the water was just slightly too shallow. He was a football player, and all his friends jumped in just fine.
Even if it says it’s safe to jump or dive in and everyone else us doing it just fine, it is absolutely not worth the risk. Just climb in slowly.”
