Hayle Harbour, United Kingdom, 2013
The Whirlpool
"The whirlpool in Hayle Harbour only appears a few times a year. It was a quirk of Victorian engineering devised to stop the harbour silting up. Water would be stored in a pool at high tide and, once the tide had retreated, released back into the harbour to wash away the sand. The water would get into the pool through a tunnel beneath a quay. But sometimes the tide would come back in faster than the water could pass through the tunnel."
This would create the whirlpool.

His mask has no white diamond on it's head. Otherwise I'd agree.

I read an interesting breakdown on this one a while back. The wet suit was keeping him buoyant enough to play around at the top. But once he went down too deep, the pressure reduced the buoyancy of the wet suit to where he wasn't able to overcome the pull downward.
At least that's what someone who seemed to know their stuff said, and it makes sense.

Thats just a long ass way of saying. 'His suit was floaty but it wasnt floaty enough to combat the sinky of the whirlpool'

I like the way you put that. Very concise and in words I can understand.

Ya didn't he used to do this a lot of something?
Also don't wetsuits keep a layer of water in between the fabrics to help keep divers warm. That doesn't sound very buoyant. But I don't know shit. I'm too claustrophobic to even wear one.

They insulate via air bubbles in the fabric.

I think that's a drysuit. A wetsuit uses water

There's still an insulating layer. The water against your body may be warm, but it needs to be insulated from the rest of the water around you or it wouldn't work.

Yeah exactly. A wetsuit lets a small layer of water warm up around you. A dry suit is doesn't let any water in at all

🤓 acktually….
" Wetsuits are made of a kind of rubber called neoprene. The suit traps a thin layer of water between the neoprene and the wearer's skin. So, the wearer is always wet—that's why it's called a wetsuit. Body heat warms the layer of trapped water and helps keep the wearer warm."

"Neoprene gets its properties from a process in which nitrogen gas is baked into it, forming tiny air bubbles within the rubber that gives neoprene its insulating properties. This is the main reason why scuba diving wetsuits are made from neoprene. The air bubbles in neoprene also make them slightly buoyant; a great property to have when you are scuba diving."

Damn, that was always my biggest fear when I was swimming as a kid! Really scary video even without blood, if you put yourself in that situation. But nice, good post buddy. Never see that before.

God the amount of anxiety I had while watching this was insane. I was thinking we'd see him get funneled downward. I can swim but I'm not confident enough to ever attempt something like this.

Fuckwit wearing a horse mask does some dumb shit.... who would have thought it? What a right wanker.
The well educated English people who are apparently unable to spell words in their native language also mistake marvelous engineering for mother nature- Jacob should have dragged his friends in with him and upped the collective IQ of the area.

Uhhh anyone got better footage of how he died? Only the last 30 seconds of this video showed anything remotely deathly and it just sort of cut off as well.

This reminds me of when I was a kid and I would put water in a blender and it would make a little whirlpool in the middle. It was oddly entertaining for how simple it was.
