Here’s a photo of a drained canal in the UK which really highlights just how shallow they are.
If someone was pushed in, the worst thing that’d happen is them being mildly annoyed.
You’re not perceiving the picture correctly, the stub-looking thing on the left for docking is around a foot high. The side of the canal is at least 4 feet and the middle at least 7 feet deep. Mobile camera lens do not give adequate perception, as such, like with taking a photo of the moon.
Oh we back on this shit again?
You can drown in a couple inches of water. 3 feet deep is almost 20 times as much depth as you’d need to drown.
Dudes been hot on the trail of the canal mystery for weeks.
Water, how does it work?
I commented on the last canal questioning but that post got deleted. I’m assuming it’s the same person since this is such a specific topic.
There are also canals that aren’t this shallow. As summer lasts on average five minutes, anybody falling into one is more likely to wear thick layers of clothes, which is a problem when they’re getting wet. Most British people are also probably under the influence when they fall into a canal. Or children. And you can drown in a puddle.
Hmmm u forget how fucking cold they are, as well as there potentially being hard/sharp rocks, weeds to get your feet tangled in. Not denying there are many far easier ways of kicking the bucket, but it aint impossible, especially if the person in question is frail or has an illness of some kind. They could also panic if they cant swim and start splashing around and put themselves in more bother.
Can’t swim? Not an issue since the water in a canal is still and only waist deep. There’s no need to even try to swim.
What if u fell in head first and/or hit ur head on the freezing cold bottom?
This has to be one of dumb things someone’s said right before they drowned in a puddle in their front yard.
