@@johnchan754 I was looking for footage of people climbing on the Eiger. I found a video of someone up there on his own, climbing a rock then crossing a rope to a free-standing rock called the "Mushroom." Then he unclipped from the rope, which gave me the jitters something awful, and started walking around on top of the Mushroom, taking in the views all around, giving me the chance to go "Been there, climbed that," pointing at the 2343m peak of Männlichen far below him. Then he said: "3, 2, 1, see ya!" and took a running jump off the top of the rock. This was how I discovered that "squirrel suits" and wingsuit flying and BASE jumping exist. It's possible I swore at some point while watching that video.

Turbulence itself destroys buoyancy, so that has to be factored in as well. White water turbulence puts air into the water and affects the buoyancy in general.

[@tonycook1624]

Water with lots of suspended turbulant air bubbles is the real killer. Waterfall plunge pools are best example. I have personal experience - during a canyoning trip in France I jumped off a waterfall into an heavily aerated plunge pool (foaming!) while weighted down with harnesses and abseiling gear. Wont make that mistake again as it took far too long to surface after the jump. I was suspended - nearly neutrally bouyant despite a wetsuit and wasnt going down fast enough to kick off the river bed nor was I rising fast either - I had to hold my breath and hope - luckily I was washed out to a shallower place were I could surface. My two companions were looking down white as sheets and told me that I was under for well over a minute.

The bubbles that you have captured in the water (in your camera videos) put me in mind of the theories about ships lost in the "Bermuda Triangle" that may have been lost due to methane gas released by clathrate disruption on the ocean floor. Not that the same event is happening, but the same effect, sinking in a highly aerated environment, is occurring. Just an observation...

[@harryballz4260]

I've heard that theory before also. It makes sense. It'd be pretty cool if it was some mysterious paranormal thing but unfortunately we don't live in that kind of world. The bubbles theory makes way more sense than a spooky ghost pirate ship or giant monsters taking sailors down to the depths.

That's not a theory. It doesn't qualify. A theory has to be supported by evidence. That's just a hypothesis. A guess, basically. It also doesn't make sense, because there's really nothing special about the number of ships that have disappeared in the Bermuda triangle, compared to anywhere else

It's not just currents, undertoes etc but things are far less bouyant in aerated water. With these areas of bubbly water you have no chance of floating. The tumble at low head weirs will spin and trap you but the bubbles are what stop you floating up and having a chance at breathing or escape.

LOL. outerspace is fake, and the earth being round is fake. time to wake up

[@johnstuartsmith]

Part of the Strid's deadliness is caused by actual undertow. The rest is caused by all the bubbles caused by the turbulence. Most of a human body is liquid with the same density as water, bone which is heavy than water, and lungs, which, if filled are much lighter than water, so in still water, a body is bouyant. If a human body ends up in water that is churning with bubbles, the amount of water/bubble mixture that is displaced by a human body is lighter than the human body, so that human's body is headed for the river bottom.

I live in Arizona and this is Antelope canyon. It's a "slot" canyon carved through sandstone; it has a very narrow gap at the top that opens to a 20 meter deep canyon below. It fills during monsoon season and hikers have been drowned by flash flooding. I think this is perhaps what the Bolton Strid would look like if it were drained. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmXRfmR8pLqkj9U

I suspect the Strid's more of a mess of boulders. Antelope Canyon's sandstone, which erodes quite evenly and leaves those beautiul sculpted-looking scoops and curves. I've seen homes and wineries carved out of sandstone in Turkey. The Bolton Strid is different stuff. " The geological map of the area shows that Bolton Priory lies at the junction of the Bowland Shale Formation and the Pendle Grit Member, with much of the area being covered with Quaternary till, glaciofluvial sand and gravel and river terrace deposits." thelanguageofstone.blogspot.com/2019/12/a-brief-investigation-of-river-wharfe_7.html You can see boulders in the middle of the flow and what looks like a very shallow part, but with nowhere near enough currents to be the whole of the river. I suspect it looks more like Brimham Rocks. Imagine getting washed through a gap like this: www.familiesonline.co.uk/images/default-source/national/brimham_rocks2.jpg?sfvrsn=9d3c769d_0 at whatever mad speed that current is doing down there. There are a few holes through the rock formations at Brimham big enough to have a lot of current through them but not big enough for a body to go through them like this guy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaqcnqJnmdesfJo There are also those swirling holes along the sides, including in the rocks where I was standing, with the collections of river-washed pebbles and cobbles in the bottoms where the current goes round and round like a drill. If you were in one of them you'd be used like a buffing pad to polish the sides of it.

[@yuvarudra6602]

Throw those bottle where the river is calm. 🤔

[@ck88777]

I dont understand how anybody has the balls (or stupidity) to stand within 50 feet of that thing

[@stevenwheat3621]

I was gonna say that you failed miserably on the test, but yea you failed miserably on the test.. Just give me a cold beer and an Intertube and I'll float that heffer!

[@xshowda]

Maybe its just me, but it creeps me out to see people and even children in EVERY footage of the strid standing right on the edge at rocks covered with slippery moss. I mean wtf? No fence, no guard rails, just children casually playing there.

[@Outland9000]

From what I understand the water is about 6 to 9 meters deep but has anyone actually measured it or mapped the underwater topography?

[@alasdairniven6578]

You have a seriously distorted perception of risk. Messing about on slippery rocks with a facemask for protection.

[@kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934]

This is such an insane body of water it blows my mind.. scarier than most any other looking all innocent. I wonder how long the Strid is?

[@kylecallahan5786]

Perfect spot for a hydroelectric damn

[@evangelicalsnever-lie9792]

This river can be fully charted and plumbed. The only think missing is project funding.

[@sugarysnax2958]

I wonder how many amateur Strid scientists are pinned against a rock at the bottom of the Strid.

[@robandcheryls]

The part of the strid you were first at, was measured at 65m deep, yes…65! Amazing.( mesures with sonar)

[@allegorx58]

I'd be amazed if sonar could even work in there.

[@jebbadiah]

Well, lets drink another 4 gallons of OJ and try again...

[@luckyotter623]

This river gives me serious heebie jeebies....but I'm fascinated by it.

[@isthiswherewecamein6130]

Well, there's 7:00 minutes ILL NEVER GET BACK!!!! LOL!!!

[@thomascabaniss1709]

someone put the tried and true method of "put a go pro on a stick" and tried to record underwater. You can find these by looking up, "The Strid GoPro footage" Its just pictures. im not sure if its real, but its worth a look. Watch out BTW, the guy also had a sense of humor and put a really freaky underwater dead zombie photoshop at the end of the slideshow for kicks and jump scares.

[@daehawk9585]

Wont catch me anywhere near that thing. An entire river turned on its side...nope nope. As one guy said those rocks are just an overhang. Theres no river bed below the surface...its just a deep deadly ditch.

[@gravyboat2370]

What was the point of this video ?? Apart from a bunch noise what actually happened ?

[@imacryptid5254]

Broo I was literally just thinking "why doesn't someone throw a stick or something in there to test the current" lol

[@andy530i]

One of the most stupid things he could have done. The under currents below 1m would have dragged him in , or caused injury to his hand , at the very least. Watch this video :- kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioW5k4SobqiMapI . Not to mention about wearing a muzzle outdoors !

[@Kaniwani]

I like how he said, "...YEET them into the water." I kept hearing that word but didn't know what it really meant.

[@marcscott5448]

why not use a lead plumb with a float ?

[@TheWeekendWarrior490]

Why the hell would someone stand near the edge of a river that's guaranteed to kill you of you ever fell in? And the surface is covered in slippery moss as well!

[@davy1458]

The strange .....dark.....and mysterious brought me here....im hiding from the like button who is out for revenge

[@pigtailsboy]

You didn't tie safety cable lines to your self I notice.

[@lorenzbroll101]

LOL - at some point some fool is going to be the next victim of the river. Its only a matter of time.
