Thousands of quarries exist across the country but some can be disastrous. Jonathan Baksh, 19, jumped into Martin’s Creek quarry in Pennsylvania in 2015, but he never made it back to land after suffering a cramp in the water. His mom was stunned when she found out her son was the second young man to die in quarry that year. Now, as the one year anniversary of her son’s passing arrives next month, she’s on a crusade to tell the world about the dangers of swimming in quarries. #InsideEdition

Must be the stones. The water is not high enough on the side where they jumped
Oh so he drowned swimming not after jumping
Quarries seem to have a pull downward in the deep water.

So the danger is water?
I jump of the bus when it stops, good enough for me.
If u get a cramp or ur rely tired just lay on ur back and peddle with ur hands

They aren't hitting objects. Monster cats, and even other fish, and I even read about an octopus laying in a deep quarry, or reservoir.
Someone I knew in my hometown jumped in a quarry, broke his neck, wheelchair bound for the rest of his life.
The dangers of swimming in any large bodies of water.
OMG that is so dangerous why do they dive in there It's conditions
They didnt mention the source of the water. Quarry owners don't just flood their expensive machinery and work place with water. They strike water one day and it ruins the quarry permanently. This water comes in somewhere and sometimes it also goes out too. We had a spot in our local quarry in Mountain Home, AR where flotsam and debris would pile up on the surface of the water. Everyone knew not to get in there because it was where the water goes outwards and underground so if you got sucked into that spot you would die.
I never understood why people swim in damns or quarries . It’s dangerous af cause you don’t know what lives there
Dont get why u would go swimming in those temperatures ro begin with rip tho bro
Still it a thrill
Those deep 🕳
Ok no offense but if people still do this… I iii just don’t know what to do
Maybe learn to swim before you go to a quarry
The bottom also shifts in abandoned sand quarries. A friend died due to shifting bottom in the 60's
Don’t jump into quarry’s. Just stick to your neighbor’s pool.
Sick !!!
🤨 swimming can be dangerous?🙄
Ok what makes it dangerous if you know how to swim??
Don't want to jump then don't jump
Testing first.
People don't know what is in side the quarries… Believe it or not the ghost of evil in the water… Pulling new people to take over the quarries.. believe it.🇸🇬
Faceit lady your son was just dumb and couldn't swim
There is nothing dangerous about quarries they just can't swim
More ignorant reporting! The kid drowned!
watching this one remains me of when i was 5 years old, my 20th years cousin at the time would take me with him to the beach , my mom was surprised why he is babysitting me almost on daily basic , well until one day i didnt come home and tell my mom so excised hey mom i flew today and my mom didt get it right away until my cousin friend didnt came and told her not to let me go with him anymore cause he is jumping with me from 40 ft high cliff and then he throwing me first then he jumps after , well u guys guess he was kicked out of the house not long after. Well i survived many jumps, learned how to swim with being just 3 years old. But yes it is danger to jump from the cliffs.
Let's go swimming in an abandoned quarry… that's a good idea.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so Sad and also so informative. thanks
As long as the water is clear i ain't going in
I would think it more concerning to hit the water at a bad angle and break your neck or back. No mention of that…
