Bizarre Video Shows Man Jumping Into Swirling Pool of Water and Never Resurfacing
Social media is a storehouse of fascinating and captivating content. Recently a video has been making waves on several platforms that features a man going into a pool of water and then completely disappearing inside it. Other people around the man tried to seek him out but failed in their pursuit. The video was uploaded on the social networking site X.com by @PicturesFoIder.
The video begins with the man jumping from one of the rocks and diving straight into the waters. The spot on which the man took the plunge looked darker in comparison to other areas. After the man took the plunge the portion seemed to be bubbling with water.
Three people, one man, and two women, wait in anticipation for the jumper to get out. But, when the diver did not emerge, they began searching through the waters. The video ended before any answers regarding the man's ultimate fate.
Internet sleuths and experts are yet to figure out where the video was shot or if the man made it out dead or alive, Bored Panda reported.

The man, as seen in the video, has plunged into aerated water, Indy100 reported. Such waters contain a large amount of gas or air. The air bubbles indicate that the buoyancy of that portion is low compared to other areas in the water body. This phenomenon makes swimming in that particular portion virtually impossible, as per experts. This implies that if an individual finds themselves stuck in an aerated pool, they will most likely sink to the bottom.
Every year multiple drownings happen on your local rivers. People get wedged between rocks and can't get free.

I hope this guy knew this was safe to do and didn't drown.
The comment section was filled with various theories regarding the ultimate fate of the man who took the plunge into the waters. @Upliftingvision claimed that the man might have been caught in some kind of whirlpool.
They wrote, "These very strong whirlpools are called maelstroms. They're most likely to form when currents collide near narrow bodies of water, such as straits. Most whirlpools aren't cause for concern. However, those that are very large or powerful can pose a serious threat to anyone who comes too close."
@MarieIsabellaB does not think that the jump ended on a happy note and wrote, "He may not be ok, and if it’s a cave system under it, the water could have drawn him down under."
Some people in the comment section were optimistic regarding the man's chances in the pool. @nyrbhimself pointed out, "Water like this usually has another open end close by… he probably swam to that end." Despite varied thoughts, the common message radiating through the responses was that people hoped that the man somehow made it out of the pool alive.
A similar incident happened back in 2013 with acclaimed photographer, Jacob Cockle, Bored Panda reported. Just some weeks before the tragic accident, the 28-year-old was awarded a £28,000 ($36,650) expedition to Antarctica, which multiple acquaintances have claimed to be his dream.
Cockle went into the sea to capture, what the inside of a whirlpool would look like from his GoPro camera. He dived down to get a close look, but couldn't manage the incoming current. The photographer met his end, in the sea due to being sucked into a whirlpool in a harbor in Cornwall, England. His body was found floating face down in the water by his friend.
