What's going on? Deadly Lake Pleasant incidents explained

[@m.g4441]

The irony of the lake's name -- Yikes!!

[@Blue2crows]

So sad. There is nothing wrong with a life vest. Wear them

[@Melsincatuation]

Wait who threw the 83 yr old woman off the boat???!!!!

[@Youdatguy]

Learning to rest on your back and float is a huge life saver!! Why they aren’t saying that? The rest position is on your back face out of water arms out. Do this when you’re tired it will SAVE your life!! Then you go to your side stroke or back stroke to conserve your energy! T

[@jrambo7495]

Right; no one mentions that!

[@traceytrotter9934]

I would be dead if I were not an expert floater, so important!

[@440tomcat]

Im 65 and learned that when I was 4.

If you can't swim stay the hell out of the water.

[@Youdatguy]

First thing you do in life guard training is you tread water for 30mins as a warm up. I grew up On an Island where we learn Ocean safety at a very young age. 2 inches of water is all it takes to drown. People don’t respect the water even a lake and it will show you you’re in another world fast l!!! Rip to the lost and bless their family

[@grizzlywithgeekgeezerfishi1622]

I'd say they probably got the jab and had heart attacks bet they all had that in common too .... hope I'm wrong

[@johnmack8904]

[@Cyfi71]

Lake Pleasant is very cold water. Cold water shock will incapacitate you fast. Air temperature doesn't matter when you're in that water.

[@kissmysix]

Try swimming in Lake Tahoe.....No matter the outside temp, it's very cold.

[@merlinkrats]

ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET IF YOU DRINK DONT SWIM ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

[@charleswilliams8248]

83 years old thrown! What’s going on? OMG 😳!

[@Minime23123]

This is very common news with this lake. A kid named damion in 2014 from north canyon hs drowned. Not only is it deep there too much debris underwater

[@mdg1089]

Debris ! exactly. I went fishing on a bass boat last week with a friend and we used some expensive sonar. There are trees floating at 15-25 feet .... in 40-50 foot water. Fucking insane. No thanks nope.... never swimming there

[@stephengolden6080]

Where are the authorities? How large is this lake?

[@thewoodwardreport2806]

Don't go swimming in a lake if you can't swim

[@juliepiemonte1281]

Don't go swimming you've had the jab. Heart damage in young people.

[@circesoul2218]

How dare you!

[@hanzwind]

But other people in lakes all over the country are just fine. Hmmm… 🤔

[@TasmanianWolves]

A man died at Lake Pleasant Saturday, today.

[@BriSoza]

I love visiting lake pleasant and these instances are so very sad. It's so important to practice safety and if you're drinking you are so vulnerable! Don't get me wrong, I take a few beers to the lake myself. But so many call this lake cursed essentially but such a high volume of people visit so there are bound to be accidents.

[@Romans219]

Hi there precious little puppy

[@perrysims3320]

HOW ANY OF THE "VICTIMS" HAD ALCOHOL IN THEIR BLOOD TESTS?

[@rotaryray]

That's a good question that people don't like bringing up

[@conchurkunda8190]

So if you can't swim, don't go in the water? Swam across my first lake when I was 8, no your limits

[@seanborgan8527]

know*

[@robertdennis3892]

Hot coffee can burn, and deep lakes can drown people. Common sense is indeed lacking. If you can't swim, take appropriate precautions, until you learn. And if you can swim, know your limits. And leave the liquor at home.

[@robertdennis3892]

Like stories of deep quarry holes in New Jersey. People who can't swim wading into deep water drop-offs. Lake Pleasant has many of these. People should take appropriate precautions if they are non-swimmers. But not try to impose fear and restrictions on those who do swim.

[@lizarassner1556]

Just noting the amount of downing deaths of avid swimmers that occur on the south end where the generation pump is located. People being pulled under hundreds of feet unable to get air and die. The deaths are unexplained. Could the pump generating system at the south end that releases the water be responsible for the unusual high currents? The release happens around the same time Mar - Aug when most of deaths have occurred. Check out the drownings at Bartlett Lake also near the dam.

[@Conekiller29]

The myth lives on

[@Mossrod]

One of my best friends in hs went with a bunch of his dumb friends. He was swimming and started drowning. No one noticed or helped in time. He was 16 and had so much going for him.

[@njay4399]

What was his name?

[@emilygendreau]

I just read about some guy who hid a life sized statue of Jason Vorhees in the lake to replicate the movie. Last time I dove in lake pleasant they had (fake) skeletons set up playing poker at the bottom.. And some creepy shit in a freezing trench. Masks, doors, statues, clocks, and all kinds of weird trinkets.

I was just there at lake pleasant az swimming the best thing to do if you about to drown is just to float on your back until you get energy back to swim more again

[@bjvu9460]

haha, most people arent smart enough to do that and most people subconsciously will try to fight it rather than take a sec to think, preserve energy , close their eyes , relax the mind and the body will become its own floating device...

[@Melsincatuation]

I heard someone released Nile crocodiles in lake pleasant!!! Be careful!

[@thewoodwardreport2806]

Are you serious? It's definitely possible. But I don't think they can survive in this dry heat. But I have been wondering about it.

I grew up in the valley of the sun. I have never been to lake plasant and don't intend to go. I' am not a fan of large bodies of water.

[@kitschmygrits4836]

An enormous natural body of water has debris and undercurrents among many other possible factors. This we all know along with the natural power of gravity, so what is the logic of not wearing something that will prevent us from losing our lives? We can't expect nature to act a certain way that is convenient for us, we must respect it and never assume anything. Parents have to teach their kids all of the dangers and young fit men need life jackets too.

[@joshuakane1139]

We all know somethings Awry oh my.

[@mr.roboto7330]

Well stated thank you! An idiot above thinks because they swam a mile when they were 12 that these people who drowned didn’t know how to swim! The ignorance in these comments. It’s nature and nature is unpredictable but some of these idiots think they are indestructible in the comments. Thank you for being a voice of reason. My cousin who was an excellent swimmer drowned in 2006 at Lake Roosevelt due to the unforeseen events that day. 🙏🏻

[@bjvu9460]

same reason people hate seat belts. there are more people that have swam at that lake and not drown than those who had drowned so the chance of drowning is slim to non based on the amount of people who goes without a vest...

[@outdooradventures1361]

Just watch out for underwater barrels

Heart problems?

[@jessiebegayy6100]

My brother said he went on a high school field trip here and he wanted to swim across the lake to a tiny island when he was halfway he said it felt like human hands it grabbed his leg and pulled him down he said he almost went fully under and kept kicking and he was able get free and swim to shore he said his foot was bleeding at the bottom and no one believed him he tells me to this day over and over the same story i think its a some type of huge fish he thinks its a spirit or something because he said it was somebodys two hands around his leg pulling him down 😮

Lake pleasant or any other body of water. Went to Texas one time, and they took me to what they ssid was the gulf. All i know is I think I passed out! It was just entirely to much water for me and what i deemed dangerous. I don't do beaches either!!

[@Trav-u2u]

Lake Pleasant Death? They should seriously rename that lake! Call it "Lake Haunt!" It reminds me of the lake in a Friday the 13th film, the one that Jason drowns in. Creepy! They should seriously rename the lake and also build a huge two-story skull 💀 sculpture on the island in the lake, with white cutouts all around it of the drowning victims. The skulls eyes glow up at night, and it sends out a shrieking ghoulish scream over the waters every hour!
