18 year old drowned after jumping into a deep quarry

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.

The man, Tausif, jumped into a quarry lake from a height of about 100 feet. 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.

Lake?? It's a fucking rock quarry. Oh well...closest thing to a lake those desert fuckers will get, why spoil it.

I'd rather jump at the quarry near me than swim in a lake. But I've got a lot of experience doing it. It's like 300 feet deep and the only people who have died hesitated instead of jumping out and hit rocks on the way down. There's even old cranes and shit at the bottom, but there's no way you can see them.

That's pretty cool, but only in a very dangerous way. I would never let anybody I cared about play in water that was effectively industrial runoff.

But I must empathize with those fun days as a kid. I would definitely play in rock quarries, too. Something fantastic and powerful about them.

It's been inactive for decades. So it's basically just rainwater at this point. And alcohol, tons of people drink there. The one I go to was the one they used in grown-ups 2, where Adam Sandler and the others jumped off butt naked. I jumped there since I was a kid, way before they did. Just makes it even better.

Very cool, indeed. I'll be the first to admit that some of my fears may be irrational. The fun from those times was definitely worth it.

I've been thinking of going there recently, but cause of the depth of the quarry the water is gonna be fuckin ice cold. Takes forever for deep water to warm up. Even though it's been 80+ degrees outside most days lol
