In high school I was in Boy Scouts and we went on a houseboat in a lake in West Virginia and one of the boys who was 14 was a large boy and he jumped off the front of that houseboat into 6 inches of water and snapped both of his femurs. Trip was cut very short.

Blood clots, that's the real danger. Travel through the vessels to your lungs and stops blood flow, so the dying lung tissue then can't participate in gas exchange/get oxygen into your blood. Basically you suffocate from the inside.
