While they were in the middle of the pond, the ice broke beneath them and they fell into the cold water.
People nearby tried to help, but in the end only one man was saved. He was taken to a hospital. The second man drowned.

AMAZONAS, BRAZIL
A grim discovery was made in the Amazonas state, where the body of 22-year-old João Paulo Silva was found floating in the Solimões River, near the city of Tefé. Silva had been reported missing two days prior, and his family had been searching for him frantically. The breakthrough in identifying the body came when a disturbing video began circulating on social media, showing Silva being brutally beaten and threatened by a local gang. Apparently Silva was accused of stealing from an elderly woman within the community and was subjected to a vicious punishment.
According to police reports, Silva attempted to escape the beating by fleeing towards the river, which had swollen due to heavy rainfall in the region. The video captures the harrowing moment when Silva jumps into the river, struggling to stay afloat amidst strong currents. The gang members can be heard shouting threats and insults as they chase him along the riverbank. Police have launched an investigation into the incident, with authorities stating that they are reviewing the footage and interviewing witnesses to identify the perpetrators. "This is a tragic reminder of the violence and impunity that plagues our communities," said Captain Oliveira of the Tefé Police Department. "We will work tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice." The case has sparked outrage in Tefé, with locals demanding greater action to address gang violence and protect vulnerable members of the community.

His sisters frantically screamed for help, but their parents, working nearby, didn't hear them. Two older relatives arrived but failed to act decisively. Precious minutes passed but it wasn't until their father, Li Jian, arrived that someone intervened. He rushed to the pond, jumped in, and retrieved Li Wei. Tragically, the young boy had already succumbed to drowning. The family's joyful afternoon turned into unbearable tragedy, sending shockwaves through the tight-knit Shuangfeng community.

From the article:
"An 18-year-old man in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand drowned after he jumped into deep water from a height to make an Instagram Reel, police said on Tuesday.
The man, Tausif, jumped into a quarry lake from a height of about 100 feet on Monday evening. His friends, who were bathing in the lake, tried to save him but were unsuccessful.
They alerted locals and police, and a search operation was launched. The youth's body was recovered later."
The amount of people I've seen who have accidentally sacrificed their lives for social media on here is startling: Even the most dedicated of philanthropists have to ponder Darwinism after seeing enough of these blunders having been made.

On 27 October 2020, 31-year-old industrial diver Alex Paxton was doing some work in the Lake Oliver Dam in Colombus, Georgia. While he descended along a chain, he accidentally had his arm sucked in by a small (10 inches) opening, which ended up sucking him arm first with 850 psi (57.8 atmospheres).
He ended up being stuck for 30 minutes before workers found the valve control and released it. Luckily for Paxton, he had lost consciousness in the first few minutes so it's reasonable to assume he wasn't in pain for the entire half hour.

Why didn't they stop it sooner?
Lockout-tagout safety form. 2020
At the job-site, they had safety forms that denoted every valve / operational item on site. Notice how in the image above there's no "flapper valve"? That's what was released to save him. According to the lawsuit in 2023,
5 months had passed and there were no assurances that even contractors that had been there in May would have remembered the penstock priming valve and its location for 5 months. Without having current knowledge as to the penstock priming system and the location of the valve, no Glenn employee would have known to do a walk down off of the area that they were diving from as all other LOTO verification could have been done without leaving the dive area.
[...] or a Glenn employee would have seen the valve was not locked out and would have corrected it and this incident would not have occurred.
Essentially neglect of safety protocols led to unnecessary death. In the official report, the cause of death is listed as
MECHANICAL ASPHYXIA (due to) COMPRESSION OF UPPER EXTREMITY
New 2021 lockout-tagout safety form.

Soon, as the waves land they lose their balance and fall to the ground. While one woman was seen being pulled away by a man, others were being washed away as they cried for help. Two men are seen rushing to help and they could extend their hands to pull them out in time.
Five others were also swept away by the strong waves when they were seen too close to the powerful waves.
