...or stupid. Keep striving. That Darwin Award is within reach! Its fun, what the point of living if you cant do something a little dangerous every once and a while. My advice? If you do that just to live a little on the edge, then don't even step foot into a water park and put yourself and the lifeguards who would try to rescue you because of your stupidity, at risk! Just another reason why I hate the phrase YOLO. I remember when I was young, I was afraid of the drains on the bottom of a normal pool and of possibly being sucked into one of the wavemaking machines. I am still leary of the machines and usually keep a good ten foot distance from the ropes. Its funny how much grief people gave me over my post a couple years ago. We were the lifeguards. We trained countless hours in the wavepool and were extremely strong swimmers. If you spent a quarter of the time in that pool as had, you would realize those machines arnt as strong as they seem.

Having worked at a six flags water park i can say that the caissons are in no way dangerous, in fact I've swam down to them many times while the machine was running just for the thrill of be thrown back and forth against the grates (call me crazy). The rope is really just so no one bumps into the side of the pool to hard and hurts themselves.
