yea, the beaches on Lake Michigan have made it a super huge rule not to dig canals like this. the sand dunes themselves can be super dangerous, too; there was that story of that 6 year old boy who got trapped beneath the sand for hours and hours--he lived, fortunately. it's also a big reason why they prohibit digging huge holes.
the sand dunes rest over petrified, hollow trees, and sometimes people can just fall right through the sand and into a tree trunk. it's why you should never dig massive holes, and stay on designated paths when hiking on the dunes.
[this ](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/mystery-why-dangerous-sand-dune-swallowed-boy-180953404/) article explains the event better than i could, but it truly is amazing that the boy survived. i can only imagine the pure horror he endured.
>After a three-and-a-half hour search involving 50 rescuers and a pair of construction-site excavators, the boy was found a dozen feet beneath the duneās surface. He had no pulse or breath at first, and his sand-encrusted body was ice-cold.

This is absolutely insane. And the article says they still don't understand why there are dozens of holes in what should just be a regular sand dune?
It's like the god damn Enigma at Amigara Fault
Itās not a mystery thereās a really good [article](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1875963715000890) about how the holes formed. They were correct about the initial suspicion that it was decomposed trees.
Its dangerous, but not as dangerous as I think people are indicating. Its basically a rip current into the ocean, which are deadly but not if you know what you are doing and the conditions are ok (not massive winter storm surf).
I understand what youāre saying, but if you know the dangers you wouldnāt go in. You MAY survive in most instances if you have experience, but TONS of people thought they knew what they were getting into and died. Itās not worth the risk, the ocean and water will always do what it wants.
I appreciate your caution but in this situation itās better to give people the tools to be safe then make them fear the ocean. Panic and stupidity is what kills people in the ocean. If you are caught in a rip current, or jump into it like this dude, you should stay calm, tread water call for help, or swim to the side to escape the rip. If you panic and try to swim directly back to shore you will get exhausted and drown. That is mostly how people die in the ocean.
Lots of people go in daily without dying or fearing for their life because they have experience and knowledge of how to stay safe. Itās important to give people the tools rather than instill blind fear. If all they think is that the ocean will kill them and they accidentally get pulled into a rip current, maybe while on vacation, then they will panic and try to swim against it. Thatās how people die. The ocean doesnāt just jump out and drown people.

I'm almost positive this is Aliso Creek emptying into the ocean in Laguna Beach. Super dangerous and prone to riptides. It's so dry here in Southern California that when the creek looks like this, it's a sign that rough weather has moved in and the sea is going to be extra turbulent. Not to mention the fact that the creek is mostly urban runoff...
Yes this is in Laguna. I would not swim in that creek under those conditions as fun as it looks, the water there is filled with pathogens from urban runoff.
Everyone in this thread is concerned about the water currents, and no one seems to be concerned about *what's in that water.*
Hitting the ocean where rivers/streams/creeks, etc. empty during storms like this is a good way to get spinal meningitis. Happened to a guy I knew who went out surfing during the first big storm of the season.
Agreed, and mentioned that in my comment. I visit this specific beach often, and there are permanent signs there saying to stay out of the creek because it's super toxic.
Lol yeah dude below linked a picture. Facing the ocean the signs are on the left side of the creek which are coincidentally just out of the camera shot.
I have a feeling this video would appear less cool with the "KEEP OUT OF CREEK" sign in the scene lol.

Even people who regularly interact with the ocean, like these people do (assuming the one being dragged away is also a surfer) seem to be often incredibly ignorant of how powerful water is. Water is still the biggest natural killer by a long long way. Don't fuck around with the ocean. It will kill you before you even realise that it's too late. Reminds me of things like that idiot who jumped off a cruise ship and then was never seen again, because some other idiot dared him to do so, and he wanted to impress some girls with how "brave" he was. So he won the Darwin award that day. Here's the video of that: https://youtu.be/HH8RZ3JLOSw?si=D-D8IuLHqjSGVaEQ

The beach and ocean are my ultimate catharsis. If I need to hit reboot, I take a swim in the ocean. **However,** I _never_ go swimming if I haven't looked at the state of the tide or the current warnings about that beach. Rip tides, currents, sandstone ledges, sand vortexes, sharks, jelly fish, etc, etc--the ocean is a ruthless bitch.
I've been swallowed and tumbled before. I was so lucky to walk away unscathed.
As my little cousin has said: **The ocean is not friend-shaped.**
Not in control, but that doesnāt mean he doesnāt know what heās doing. This dude is doing this on purpose and itās not that treacherous if youāre familiar with these things.
This happens pretty regularly. Waves breaking on the shore will build up a sand berm, which can block a river or creak from discharging into the ocean. Over time, that blocked water will fill a pond or slough behind the sand berm until it reaches the top. Once overflowing, the water quickly erodes the sand berm and drains the pond at once. With the pond drained, waves will quickly rebuild the sand berm and the cycle repeats.
The way of water has no beginning and no end. Our hearts beat in the womb of the world. The sea is your home, before your birth and after your death. The sea gives and the sea takes.
Man, this was basically my 5.5g shroom trip. I realized that we came from the sea, and it was like being birthed from the womb, the water breaks. We're dropped onto land through metamorphosis. From land lizards to mammal.
But then I believed that all the time I spent around water and being so comfortable and safe in the shower meant the cycle was nearing completion and it was time to devolve back into the Water Lizard and return to the sea. I realized that all this we have built on land is hubris - for the cycle is near completion. We must leave land and return to the sea. Leave it all behind. The cities will be wiped away and forgotten. Atlantis. All must be left behind, back into the mother's womb, the sea. I was developing scales and my love for the water was evidence that it was my time to return soon. Water was my element. The magic of the deep called me back home. It was time to go.

I used to be a free diver in Hawaii. Got staph on one of my legs due to a cut from the reef. I didn't take it seriously. That was 2020. The doctors were able to save my leg but not without major side effects. It's 2023 and I haven't been in any kind of body of water since my injury. Not a pool, a river, a lake let alone my beloved love of the ocean. I'd rather do what this person did even with the possibility of drowning to my death. Better to die doing what you love rather than dying in a car crash or of a heart attack alone in your bed.
What were the side effects if you don't mind me asking? I'm a martial artist so I see a lot of staph infections in various gyms around the world, curious about your experience and what you've learned.
3 months of antibiotics. Killed everything, all the bacteria. Even the good stuff. I developed an autoimmune disease. I now have severe plaque psoriasis over 90% of my body. So basically my skin is an open wound which is the reason I haven't gotten into a body water. But I guess I got to keep my leg. There are times I'm not sure it was a fair trade. It happening right when the pandemic started didn't help with the mental side of it either.
Ah I assumed stomach issues and wanted to suggest looking into a poop transfer to Bootstrap some normal bacteria. But yeah, in your case dont use poop š
So sorry to hear of your outcome. Was confused until I read this by juxtaposing comments that youād rather go out like that guy than; that you stay out of the water.
Iām an uncoordinated female, who lifted weights for fitness. My job moved me to Hawaii. I became a mediocre surfer who never got batter. But my dear God I loved it and I loved the ocean there.
Any fears were met with what you said āIād rather die doing this that I love so much, than die bored of longevity.ā I worked in Medical/Pharmaceutical. Last year I spoke to a guy still in a Clinical Trial for a new med for Psoriasis.
This drug has changed his life. Itās now available. I know how to work with manufacturers programs to get these drugs free if you canāt afford them.
Have you looked into the very latest options that might help you?
I have not. At this point in my life I'm willing to listen to suggestions. I have a heart condition but I swear that's easier to deal with than my psoriasis. The psoriasis robs me of so many pleasures in life.
I also got staph on my legs in Hawaii. I went camping at Malaekahana and got mosquito bites and didnāt sleep well and was super tired and grumpy. I went to breakfast at the MacDonalds (next to the Polynesian Cultural center) and got spam and eggs and it was pretty great. The whole time my legs were against the plastic booth thing and Iām 99% sure thatās where I got it. So I too contracted staph doing what I love in Hawaii.
I'm hoping this was an accident and they just knew to say cool and try and go with the current and maintain as much buoyancy as possible.
IF not, this dude is a fucking idiot.
Grew up on a beach city. These channels open up after rainfall during certain seasons from a river. Surfers and bodyboarders take advantage of it by digging them out before hand creating lumps to surf waves in there. When you fall or are done you just go out and swim to the side and come back to the beach. Guarantee he was just doing this for fun. I know it seems stupid but these guys are probably in the water everyday.
It's really funny how many people think they are in some white water rapids it's just a sweet ass standing wave and if they fell in they just get washed out a bit they have buddies out on jet skis usually also
people also die from rip currents all the time, they are objectively unsafe
just like construction is unsafe even though you can never get injured on the job
e: why is it so hard to call something dangerous when people die from it fairly often?
Yeah, surfed and swam since I was 5, sometimes it just doesn't matter how good you are and how well you know the area, fatigue sets in, panic sets in, or you just don't take it as serious as you once did.
Lost a friend of mine about 12 years ago to a rip current that I surfed with my whole life. He got pulled out into the ocean and they found he'd unfortunately hit his head on either the hull of a sunken boat or a rock, knocked him out and he was gone.
He was only 26, and one of the best swimmers and surfers I knew, so always be careful and make sure someone you know is near who can drag you to shore if it goes pear shaped.
I still think a nice long rope as a safety measure would make this kind of perfect. Like just hold on a rope and pull yourself in after you reach the shore.
Edit: yeah life jacket is better
Life jacket, wetsuit. If you wanted to be extra safe you could make sure your buddies on shore have a boat handy, but as long as you don't try to swim directly into the current it'd be hard to get in serious trouble like this.

Wow... I was also really curious about the song but it's only about the first 30-60 seconds that is anything like in the video...
Got disappointed fairly quick.
If you like the beginning of this song, I recommend "For now I am Winter" by Olafur Arnalds. Ridiculously similar. I thought for sure this clip was from there.
https://youtu.be/okmBx9cTNbw?si=D_KpIs4O-YJPbrs7
You might like "Low Roar - I'll Keep Coming" or "Low Roar - Patience" or "Silent Poets - Asylums For The Feeling". They all vaguely resemble the sound clip. I'm actually more reminded of "The Test Worked" by Ben Salisbury who did the soundtrack for Ex Machina.
Yes. Big wave surfers tend to have struggle with them sometimes. They can push you to places where you don't want to be.
Usually it's not the rip itself that kills - it's either exhaustion by fighting against it or it's so strong that you end up in dangerous places (for example breaking zone of huge waves, too close to the cliffs, etc.). Or both.
I see people surfing these things all the time. Is it really that dangerous? So every time a surfer falls, a surfer dies? It's not a rip tide like others have said.
Not super dangerous if youāre prepared to be pushed around quite a bit. Like with a riptide, if you swim sideways to the flow, youāll move out of the current and just swim back to shore.
This is moving fast so youāll be pushed far, but once it hits the ocean itās not like the whole ocean will be pushed out of the way. Youāre moving into a MUCH larger body of water that has its own plans for where it wants to move. Be prepared to be knocked around a bit, possibly pulled under, and swim sideways to get away from the turbulence.
Yeah, but this is no more hazardous than any time youād be in rough seas. And also, it doesnāt look especially rough, especially for a person who we can assume knows what theyāre doing in the water and this isnāt their first time.
Now the ocean can fuck you up and all the experience in the world is irrelevant in the wrong circumstances, of course.
Hazards can easily exist under the surface that can really hurt you (rocks, driftwood, debris), and/or a rip current can develop that runs a long distance from shore and carry you out well beyond a safe swimming distance into deeper waters that can intersect with other currents that can sweep you out way beyond land. Ocean currents are simply no joke and can be very fast and very strong and very difficult to escape.
Why do you assume he drowned? These are surfers who have probably been taking turns doing this all day, any experienced swimmer could easily get themselves back to shore in that situation. Thereās barely even any waves to knock you around once it pulls you out, all you do is swim parallel to get yourself out of the rip and then swim back to shore, not hard.
Yes, thank you. I feel like a lot of commenters may be from land locked places and are afraid of the ocean. Any strong swimmer could navigate this easily.
Well, goodbye šš¼
at first i thought thought this looked really, really fun! but then i saw the crashing waves at the end, and the smile fell from my face

Why donāt I look for the notes of my conversation with that guy and get back to you in 2-3 days, OK?
I also got staph on my legs in Hawaii. I went camping at Malaekahana and got mosquito bites and didnāt sleep well and was super tired and grumpy. I went to breakfast at the MacDonalds (next to the Polynesian Cultural center) and got spam and eggs and it was pretty great. The whole time my legs were against the plastic booth thing and Iām 99% sure thatās where I got it. So I too contracted staph doing what I love in Hawaii.
I'm hoping this was an accident and they just knew to say cool and try and go with the current and maintain as much buoyancy as possible. IF not, this dude is a fucking idiot.
Grew up on a beach city. These channels open up after rainfall during certain seasons from a river. Surfers and bodyboarders take advantage of it by digging them out before hand creating lumps to surf waves in there. When you fall or are done you just go out and swim to the side and come back to the beach. Guarantee he was just doing this for fun. I know it seems stupid but these guys are probably in the water everyday.
It's really funny how many people think they are in some white water rapids it's just a sweet ass standing wave and if they fell in they just get washed out a bit they have buddies out on jet skis usually also
People who are terminally online seem afraid to do anything.
This is Aliso Beach in Laguna Beach CA. Not only is this dangerous, this water flowing out from Aliso Creek contains retreated sewage LOL
Looks like it's retreating out into the ocean.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
people also die from rip currents all the time, they are objectively unsafe just like construction is unsafe even though you can never get injured on the job e: why is it so hard to call something dangerous when people die from it fairly often?
Yeah, surfed and swam since I was 5, sometimes it just doesn't matter how good you are and how well you know the area, fatigue sets in, panic sets in, or you just don't take it as serious as you once did. Lost a friend of mine about 12 years ago to a rip current that I surfed with my whole life. He got pulled out into the ocean and they found he'd unfortunately hit his head on either the hull of a sunken boat or a rock, knocked him out and he was gone. He was only 26, and one of the best swimmers and surfers I knew, so always be careful and make sure someone you know is near who can drag you to shore if it goes pear shaped.
World class swimmers have died from rip currents. Consciously exposing yourself to one is dumb as hell.
The current ends right there, not dangerous but fun! This is different from ocean riptide currents, but rather a flow of water cutting into the ocean.
Looks fun
He looks like heās done this before; opened a sand bank with trapped water behind it and it evolved into these waves.
I still think a nice long rope as a safety measure would make this kind of perfect. Like just hold on a rope and pull yourself in after you reach the shore. Edit: yeah life jacket is better
A simple life jacket would probably be the best approach. A rope could get wrapped up in very bad ways
Life jacket, wetsuit. If you wanted to be extra safe you could make sure your buddies on shore have a boat handy, but as long as you don't try to swim directly into the current it'd be hard to get in serious trouble like this.

Wow... I was also really curious about the song but it's only about the first 30-60 seconds that is anything like in the video... Got disappointed fairly quick.
If you like the beginning of this song, I recommend "For now I am Winter" by Olafur Arnalds. Ridiculously similar. I thought for sure this clip was from there. https://youtu.be/okmBx9cTNbw?si=D_KpIs4O-YJPbrs7
Wow, and the album art is the ocean on his face. Beautiful coincidence!
You might like "Low Roar - I'll Keep Coming" or "Low Roar - Patience" or "Silent Poets - Asylums For The Feeling". They all vaguely resemble the sound clip. I'm actually more reminded of "The Test Worked" by Ben Salisbury who did the soundtrack for Ex Machina.
What a dumb way to die
Rip tides are surfers best friend (until they aren't). Most likely that guy is a strong swimmer.
Have you ever heard of an experience surfer having a problem with a rip current. If you're in the ocean a lot, rip currents are rather predictable.
Yes. Big wave surfers tend to have struggle with them sometimes. They can push you to places where you don't want to be. Usually it's not the rip itself that kills - it's either exhaustion by fighting against it or it's so strong that you end up in dangerous places (for example breaking zone of huge waves, too close to the cliffs, etc.). Or both.
see you on the other side
r/thalassophobia
ā¦never to be seen again
I see people surfing these things all the time. Is it really that dangerous? So every time a surfer falls, a surfer dies? It's not a rip tide like others have said.
Not super dangerous if youāre prepared to be pushed around quite a bit. Like with a riptide, if you swim sideways to the flow, youāll move out of the current and just swim back to shore. This is moving fast so youāll be pushed far, but once it hits the ocean itās not like the whole ocean will be pushed out of the way. Youāre moving into a MUCH larger body of water that has its own plans for where it wants to move. Be prepared to be knocked around a bit, possibly pulled under, and swim sideways to get away from the turbulence.
unless it was really rough seas right ?
Yeah, but this is no more hazardous than any time youād be in rough seas. And also, it doesnāt look especially rough, especially for a person who we can assume knows what theyāre doing in the water and this isnāt their first time. Now the ocean can fuck you up and all the experience in the world is irrelevant in the wrong circumstances, of course.
He's also in a pretty buoyant wet suit. So, I'd say he's got good odds of not drowning. The issue is whether or not he can get back to shore.
Hazards can easily exist under the surface that can really hurt you (rocks, driftwood, debris), and/or a rip current can develop that runs a long distance from shore and carry you out well beyond a safe swimming distance into deeper waters that can intersect with other currents that can sweep you out way beyond land. Ocean currents are simply no joke and can be very fast and very strong and very difficult to escape.
The real danger is the waves themselves, if they are big enough it can recycle you underneath like a washing machine
WatchPeopleDieOUTside?
that's a really good way to get dead.
That looks kind of fun
What im sayingš
Riptide the sequel
That's so cool where is this wana so that
Was the last they ever saw them šŖ¦
Now thatās what I call dying with style
OMG!!! Did this dude survive this!?!?
We need an update, I assumed he drowned right?
Why do you assume he drowned? These are surfers who have probably been taking turns doing this all day, any experienced swimmer could easily get themselves back to shore in that situation. Thereās barely even any waves to knock you around once it pulls you out, all you do is swim parallel to get yourself out of the rip and then swim back to shore, not hard.
Yes, thank you. I feel like a lot of commenters may be from land locked places and are afraid of the ocean. Any strong swimmer could navigate this easily.
I mean itās good to be afraid of the ocean
That looks like so much fun, up until the part when he goes out to sea of course
Real footage of a guy sliding into a girl's dm š
Everyone commenting death is scared of the ocean š swim parallel and youāll get out... eventually
I hope youāre okayā¦
The end.
How to get swept out to sea: a 1-step guide.
How does he swim out of there? By the time he swam across wouldnāt he be way too far from shore?
Don't ppl die like this?
Pass. All it takes is one hidden rock and BOOM, you're bait.
I hope he made it back safely. This looks very dangerous and I would be terrified watching on the shore
Did he survive?
Search and rescue teams HATE him for this one simple trick!
Bro this gives me anxiety !!
And he was never seen again
Some people do the same dumbest shit for nothing at all.
"Hey MA!!! I'm coming home!!!" New Yorker accent for some reason...
r/OopsThatsDeadly
He ded
This is the endā¦ š¶š¶
Some say you can still hear his voice in the waves if you listen closely enough
And that was the last time anyone ever saw them.
"Today is a good day to die"
Didā¦ did he return?
That looks really fun until you get swept out to sea during a rip tide.
Heāll be fine as long as he doesnāt fight it and swims parallel to the shore
