Allure Of Quarry’s Waters Hide Serious Dangers

Police are arrested a record number of people at an old quarry in Rockland County that some use as a swimming hole. CBS2's Tony Aiello explains.

They forgot to mention some quarries have chemicals leeching into the water that make it less buoyant. This means no matter how hard someone swims, they can’t get out.

You didn't need to use the term H20😂

Quarries are very dangerous 😳 and deadly. Stay out. Go to a swimming pool or beach ⛱ because they always have life guards on duty.

When policemen have nothing to do, they begin to chase ordinary people for their innocuous rest

[donaldhenderson]

Or people need to use common sense if you see any warnings STAY OUT idk why people think warnings are suggestions

I learned to scuba dive in a quarry. The water can be extremely cold (we wore wetsuits) and you don't see the thermoclines like you do in salt water. The quarry here is legal to dive in, and owned and operated by a family.

OMG don’t go to a quarry you might step on a nail and receive a SERIOUS! foot injury. The fact you are more likely to die in a traffic accident on the way anywhere in your car is not relevant.
But hey let’s go to the beach and swim with sharks, or worse rip tides etc etc. Let’s go swim in the river with sections of fast flowing water etc.

They just killin all the fun. Let the kids live a little

[iwatchstuff]

Why not let everyone swim, at their own risk. Just tell him that they can’t sue anyone and they have full responsibility.

[emilyburch]

Some of them have alligators, sharks and piranhas

They need to make laws 30 days in jail Mando. An I know people are gonna wine about there rights until your child is being pulled up from the dive team dead very white an 60 pounds heavier blowded. Wanna drink a gallon of vodka an eat a bottle of pills go ahead. But quarries are no joke. One week you jump it's fine next week you hit a sunken stolen car your done. Not to mention 80% jump in an quarry water could be 50° at the surface but 15-20 feet down 30. So it's 90 out they jump in an have you ever had cold water come over your body? You go an you gasp automatically ? It's INVOLENTARLY like a doctor hitting your knee an it moves. They jump in go down feel the cold an take a full breath in an sink.
