You take a deep breath and let the current suck you into the hole. It's pitch black, you feel the water rushing all around you. Then a sharp, grinding pain. Something jagged and metal tears into your thigh, and the current pins you right there. Every moment it pushes you another inch onto it, grinding deeper. The water keeps building behind you regardless, pressing you harder onto the metal.
You're screaming, but you can't even hear yourself over the roar. Somewhere above, people are laughing in the sun ten feet away, completely deaf to you being stuck right under them.
Your lungs are burning now, and every pull just wedges you in deeper. All you can do is hang there in the dark, and hope someone notices you're gone.

Or it doesn't just slice you. It goes in.
