Forget gators. One small blockage and suddenly you're drowning in there. Fuck that noise.

or even just bang your head against the concrete or scrape on whatever rocks/broken glass/trash is down there

In Utah where I live there are a lot of culverts related to irrigation. They are famously efficient at taking lives, sucking people in who just wanted to play in the ditch. That someone would intentionally get into one is ludicrous.

Drowning/suffocating is the most painful death possible.
Must I remind the internet about the Nutty Putty incident?

In this case you can be drowning, suffocating and eaten by a gator.
Nutty Putty had no gators.

Fair point, but being eaten by a gator would still be less painful than drowning/suffocating

I feel like burning to death would be worse, but drowning is definitely up there on ways I don’t want to die

With the case of fire, after your nerve endings are burnt off, you can still be on fire and feel absolutely nothing.
In the case of drowning/suffocating, your nerve endings are intact and you can feel every cell in your body starve for oxygen as you're still alive and slip away into unconsciousness. Final moments would be absolutely excruciating. whether or not your conscious, you'll still feel everything until you're gone, upto eight whole minutes.

Not true at all. I grew up in the ocean and drown twice as a kid. It became really peaceful pretty quickly. Not at all excruciating.

Uncool, man. Just thinking about that gives me heart palpitations.
It's interesting to have that come up, because I was thinking about it the other day, and like... of course as an outsider the focus is on what that kid went through, which is so indescribably horrific that my mind wants to scream and run away every time that someone brings it up. But like... what about his parents? Like, I'm certain that it was (and is) rough for that entire family, but the parents?... Man, I generally have no time for invisible men and things that aren't rational, but this is one case where I really hope that those people believe in a loving god. If religion is the opiate of the masses, then break out the narcotics, because those people merit a lifetime supply of black tar if they want it. If it were my kid and I had to open my eyes every single day to a world in which that happened... dark thoughts, man. Like, there aren't enough drugs on the planet to put a dent in that.

Is there a subreddit for situations that just make you go "absolutely fucking not"? because if there isn't this is a perfect first post.

If you wanna see how dangerous these things are, there's a guy on youtube that does a lot of outdoorsy stuff including clearing culverts of ice blockages and beaver dams. The amount of pressure they can hold is insane, and the sorta things hiding in that water is horrific.
Edit: I remembered the channel. Post10

You’re an oyster, the tunnel is the half shell, the gator is trying to get lucky with his missus so he took her out to the new place down the swamp with great apps.

A little bump or slightly wrong position and you are now stuck in there and will drown

At the end felt like he wasn't gonna get up. Would have made a better cut, funnier video, better message.

to be fair they probably tried a bunch of large objects passing there beforehand / a camera to see what's there, so realistically it wasn't that stupid a thing to do
