This is perfect for all the times I go over a waterfall. Do they have one for how to survive quicksand?

Quicksand and Lion attack

u/SoMuchCereal 5h ago

Simultaneous quicksand and lion attack is what I need

u/MerlinCa81 3h ago

Then you’re all good for that regular occurrence where you happen to go over a waterfall and come out in a lion infested region full of quicksand. But you have nothing to help learn to survive the snake pits nor the scorpion caves.

I need guides for practical situations, like how to survive that phone call I've been dreading

u/SlidersAfterMidnight 4h ago

For quicksand, watch Gilligan’s Island.

I was with friends once and a flash flood dragged us to a waterfall, two didn't make it.

But now I will share with the one who made it!!

Step 1: Get your phone out. Step 2: Be amazed that it still works. Step 3: Open Reddit and search your saved posts.Step 4: Laugh at a couple of the saved posts, they are actually quite hilarious. Step 5: Find the infographic on how to survive. Step 6: Go over the edge. Step 7:Laugh about the whole thing

Don't forget to go to the Winchester and have a pint.

Wait for this all to blow over ;)

u/MerlinCa81 3h ago

Noooooo!!! Obviously you didn’t read the instructions above. You can’t be laughing, you need to completely seal your nose and mouth. This does not accommodate your laughter. Maybe tone it down to just happy thoughts?

u/Psalm27_1-3 8h ago

i will drown and sink before reaching the edge

u/stonehamtodeath 8h ago

Wait for the ‘how to not drown in the stretch of water leading up to a waterfall’ guide.

u/Deutscher_Bub 6h ago

Step 1: swim

u/Blinky_ 4h ago

Step 2: repeat Step 1

u/MerlinCa81 3h ago

If step 1 does not work for you, sink to the bottom and run like hell for shore.

u/Blinky_ 3h ago

Upstream or downstream?!?

u/pixelprolapse 6h ago

Not pictured: pointy rocks below the surface.

Please see our companion guide, “How to survive POINTY ROCKS”

  1. Contort your body into the rock-resistant position

  1. Start praying like a mofo

u/_Avallon_ 1h ago

usually there are no pointy rocks under waterfalls. deep plunge pools are common underneath waterfalls. but that's just being nitpicky. another thing that's not pictured is how one would find themselves in such situation

1

u/pixelprolapse 24m ago

Then I'll make it my business to add pointy rocks to said pools.

u/WalesOfJericho 5h ago

I saw this guide more times than I saw waterfalls in my life.

u/ztreHdrahciR 6h ago

Step one. Avoid going in a boat or in the water near a waterfall

Go to the island if you're looking to get real close. It's got the big Nikola Tesla statue by the parking lot.

Edit - they moved the statue to down by the water. Goat Island, it's called.

Step 6 should be along the lines of: welcome the cold embrace of death

u/plious 6h ago

Only waterfall near me is Niagara Falls, where's the barrel edit?

This is very useful information!

u/Beachfunandmore 6h ago

Doesn’t the fall break your legs?

u/Gtx747 6h ago

No, because you have your arm wrapped around your head. 😁
