I dont see the argument here, I honestly dont. What part of "Submerged Death Machine" surrounded by a skull and cross-bones sounds in any way ambiguous to any of you? Seems rather clear to me.
Get out of the Damn Water before you get to the "Submerged Death Machine" or it will kill you. Its a death machine. Thats what it does. It machines death.
It wont 'likely' kill you. It'll kill you. What part of 'kill' is deemed an uncertain term? Will I be dead? Yes, it will kill you.
See? No Uncertainty. Its really very clear. If you get to the death machine, you will be killed. Dead. |
I'm confused?
I have a few questions that should be clarified.
What will happen to me when I reach this "Submerged Death Machine"?
If I get to the "Submerged Death Machine" will I die?
What's the best way to avoid bing killed by this "Submerged Death Machine"?
Does this "Submerged Death Machine" make cotton candy, and if so, in what flavours?
I have to say I agree with all the people who don't have a lot of sympathy for these folks.
First of all, this weekend is probably the worst time in the last few years to be on the river, what with all the extra rain and all.
Second, at least one or two people on this trip knew about the weir, and it sounds like they are blaming the whole thing on the lack of the bouys/cable across the river. What kind of person decides to use the VERY LAST line of defence against going over the weir as a means of avoiding it. Especially when a much more effective means of avoiding it is to stop on the river bank. And who in thier right mind would listen to a guy who says something like "Hey don't worry about all those signs warning about certain death. There's usually a rope across the river that stops me".
Is it sad? For the family and friends it sure is, but for the uninvolved bystander such as myself it's about as sad as someone dying after jumping off a building without checking to see if there was something soft to land on.
