“Police said the trio were swimming at the top of Shannon Falls in British Columbia on Tuesday when they “slipped and fell into a pool 30m (98ft) below”.

Too bad they didn’t read the email that explained how the current on top of the falls carries you over the falls to the pool below. Physics 101.

My family, with some others from Cub Scouts, hiked to the top of a waterfall a few weeks ago. There were signs posted regularly from the base to the top and well back from the drop-off, warning people to stay out of the water to avoid injury or death ... but there were still people getting in the water and taking pictures.
