      Jumping off of high things is a lot of fun. We had friends who had a cabin on a lake. You could jump from a deck about five stories down to the water. We spent a few afternoons doing that growing up. It turned my fear of heights into a very strong call of the void.

    So the theory here is one jumper went into distress, and pulled the other teen who tried to help underwater with him.

    Quite tragic deaths then, as it didn’t seem like the waters below was that unknown.

    Shows the importance of always having something between you and the person drowning. Take off any piece of clothing you might have on you if there isn’t anything around you.
