The irony of the lake's name -- Yikes!!
Wait who threw the 83 yr old woman off the boat???!!!!
Learning to rest on your back and float is a huge life saver!! Why they aren’t saying that? The rest position is on your back face out of water arms out. Do this when you’re tired it will SAVE your life!! Then you go to your side stroke or back stroke to conserve your energy! T
Right; no one mentions that!
I would be dead if I were not an expert floater, so important!
Im 65 and learned that when I was 4.
Exactly! I say this all the time! 💯🙌
YWCA swimming lessons 101.. good information. I think we were in swim classes together.... 😊
If you can't swim stay the hell out of the water.
@OmG98 Rookie
So sad. There is nothing wrong with a life vest. Wear them
First thing you do in life guard training is you tread water for 30mins as a warm up. I grew up On an Island where we learn Ocean safety at a very young age. 2 inches of water is all it takes to drown. People don’t respect the water even a lake and it will show you you’re in another world fast l!!! Rip to the lost and bless their family
@Mariano Casa 🥱
Lake Pleasant is very cold water. Cold water shock will incapacitate you fast. Air temperature doesn't matter when you're in that water.
Try swimming in Lake Tahoe.....No matter the outside temp, it's very cold.
83 years old thrown! What’s going on? OMG 😳!
Don't go swimming in a lake if you can't swim
Don't go swimming you've had the jab. Heart damage in young people.
How dare you!
But other people in lakes all over the country are just fine. Hmmm… 🤔
A man died at Lake Pleasant Saturday, today.
ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET IF YOU DRINK DONT SWIM ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.
This is very common news with this lake. A kid named damion in 2014 from north canyon hs drowned. Not only is it deep there too much debris underwater
Debris ! exactly. I went fishing on a bass boat last week with a friend and we used some expensive sonar. There are trees floating at 15-25 feet .... in 40-50 foot water. Fucking insane. No thanks nope.... never swimming there
I'd say they probably got the jab and had heart attacks bet they all had that in common too .... hope I'm wrong
lab rats 🐀 got the free cheese 🧀 vaccine 💉
Hi there precious little puppy
Just noting the amount of downing deaths of avid swimmers that occur on the south end where the generation pump is located. People being pulled under hundreds of feet unable to get air and die. The deaths are unexplained. Could the pump generating system at the south end that releases the water be responsible for the unusual high currents? The release happens around the same time Mar - Aug when most of deaths have occurred. Check out the drownings at Bartlett Lake also near the dam.
Where are the authorities? How large is this lake?
So if you can't swim, don't go in the water? Swam across my first lake when I was 8, no your limits
know*
Hot coffee can burn, and deep lakes can drown people. Common sense is indeed lacking. If you can't swim, take appropriate precautions, until you learn. And if you can swim, know your limits. And leave the liquor at home.
Like stories of deep quarry holes in New Jersey. People who can't swim wading into deep water drop-offs. Lake Pleasant has many of these. People should take appropriate precautions if they are non-swimmers. But not try to impose fear and restrictions on those who do swim.
I love visiting lake pleasant and these instances are so very sad. It's so important to practice safety and if you're drinking you are so vulnerable! Don't get me wrong, I take a few beers to the lake myself. But so many call this lake cursed essentially but such a high volume of people visit so there are bound to be accidents.
One of my best friends in hs went with a bunch of his dumb friends. He was swimming and started drowning. No one noticed or helped in time. He was 16 and had so much going for him.
What was his name?
When drunk your bullet proof so why a life safety vest? Gotta impress those around I can swim drunk without vest.
When your jabbed, any horrible thing can happen. Remember that. Dont make your heart rate go up. Lay around and keep those clots from traveling to your heart and brain..
😢😢😢
The myth lives on
HOW ANY OF THE "VICTIMS" HAD ALCOHOL IN THEIR BLOOD TESTS?
That's a good question that people don't like bringing up
I was just there at lake pleasant az swimming the best thing to do if you about to drown is just to float on your back until you get energy back to swim more again
haha, most people arent smart enough to do that and most people subconsciously will try to fight it rather than take a sec to think, preserve energy , close their eyes , relax the mind and the body will become its own floating device...
At this point we should feel lucky that we still even have water
Right.
Why?
@@nzuncovered1845 I'm pretty sure you've seen what's going on with mead right now
@@nzuncovered1845 seriously?
@@matthowell8985 Mead? Sorry I don't know what you mean?
Something is in the lake pleasant pulling people under.
Currents
They're not all drowning. One lady lost a leg and other happenings there.
I heard someone released Nile crocodiles in lake pleasant!!! Be careful!
Are you serious? It's definitely possible. But I don't think they can survive in this dry heat. But I have been wondering about it.
Get those bad boys down to the border!!! They love TexMex!!!
Are they seriously trying to blame these deaths on not wearing life jackets? No one wears f****** life jackets what the hell is going on at lake pleasant??
It's a huge fish taking people down but they don't want to talk about that
@Patrick Some ELSE passed away there today
@@TasmanianWolves ya man something weird is going on
I just read about some guy who hid a life sized statue of Jason Vorhees in the lake to replicate the movie. Last time I dove in lake pleasant they had (fake) skeletons set up playing poker at the bottom.. And some creepy shit in a freezing trench. Masks, doors, statues, clocks, and all kinds of weird trinkets.
Please wear a life jacket
Weighs you 👇🏻👇🏽👇🏿🌊 ⚰️
Just watch out for underwater barrels
Learn the way of the water or meet your fate.🏄🏽♂️🏄🏽♂️🏄🏽♂️
Bunch of drunk kids.
Lake monster......
I grew up in the valley of the sun. I have never been to lake plasant and don't intend to go. I' am not a fan of large bodies of water.
Maybe no swimming at the lake. Are the currents in lake bad? I know you get tired swimming just seems like a lot.
Been boating there for 40 years lol no swimming? Lol come on man drunk stupid idiots die every day....everyway
DONT GO HERE PLEASE DONT COME HERE . IM WARNING YOU
😆welp guess what- I've been there multiple times without incident the most recent, while highly inebriated 🚣🏻♂️🍻🚨
An enormous natural body of water has debris and undercurrents among many other possible factors. This we all know along with the natural power of gravity, so what is the logic of not wearing something that will prevent us from losing our lives? We can't expect nature to act a certain way that is convenient for us, we must respect it and never assume anything. Parents have to teach their kids all of the dangers and young fit men need life jackets too.
We all know somethings Awry oh my.
Well stated thank you! An idiot above thinks because they swam a mile when they were 12 that these people who drowned didn’t know how to swim! The ignorance in these comments. It’s nature and nature is unpredictable but some of these idiots think they are indestructible in the comments. Thank you for being a voice of reason. My cousin who was an excellent swimmer drowned in 2006 at Lake Roosevelt due to the unforeseen events that day. 🙏🏻
same reason people hate seat belts. there are more people that have swam at that lake and not drown than those who had drowned so the chance of drowning is slim to non based on the amount of people who goes without a vest...
that place blight
I don’t believe u actually explained it,…I am assuming,most of those people could swim
I swam that lake from shore to shore it was more than a 20 minute swim without life jackets now that I think about I was lucky and very stupid
This video really acts like its that obvious to wear a life vest wading in from the shore. What is going on with the current there???
Swimming sure is dangerous better make it illegal.
but it's a pleasant place after all..
WEAR A LIFE VEST!!!!
Well if the authorities are that worried about people drowning they should make everybody were a flotation device before they go on the water make it the law there
200%
Make that five.
People need to warm upp and stretch before going to swimming
More like lake unpleasant
Lake UNpleasant
Geez that lake is cursed or something
My cousin drowned in 2006 at Lake Roosevelt. Only mid 20’s. Please people wear Lifejackets! 🙏🏻
The 30 minute rule applies
Don’t kayaks float ? How’s they drown
Heart problems?
A woman just died when she jumped off a boat and got cut up by the propeller.
A SIXTH person died there TODAY. Went under water and didn't resurface.
Learn how to swim duh
Lake Drowning is a better name than Lake pleasant.
...or Lake of Death
Lake Pfizer.
Lake Unpleasant
Lake pleasant or any other body of water. Went to Texas one time, and they took me to what they ssid was the gulf. All i know is I think I passed out! It was just entirely to much water for me and what i deemed dangerous. I don't do beaches either!!
Most drowning victims have alcohol in their bodies, but nice life vest advertisement.
Oh and I heard lake pleasant is built over a community, like lake lanier.ion know!#!
That lake is not pleasant to me when bodies are there pray for their family and them
Every swimmable lake has dead bodies
Seems like Darwinism just weeding them out
Ok, why not put a huge sign!
1. To wear life jackets!
2. And how deep it is,
3. Experience swimmers
Ya like a huge interactive sign that gets read & broadcast straight to your cellphone ( like a news broadcast) in case you missed the little paper note on the side of the trail.
Lake Pleasant Death? They should seriously rename that lake! Call it "Lake Haunt!" It reminds me of the lake in a Friday the 13th film, the one that Jason drowns in. Creepy! They should seriously rename the lake and also build a huge two-story skull 💀 sculpture on the island in the lake, with white cutouts all around it of the drowning victims. The skulls eyes glow up at night, and it sends out a shrieking ghoulish scream over the waters every hour!
Lake Pleasant is cursed AF. Look how many people have died there. There's even been an airplane crash 🤣
Did they die doing what they loved?
PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN WATER AND BOATER SAFTEY MORE
No,a random drowning one thing,there was 4 victim's
This is a super dangerous place. People are often calling to be towed out of ruts their.
Always a drowning at lake pleasant. I swear maybe they should invest into life guards at the lakes. Each year there is a drowning here. That's why I stopped going here. Rip to the poor boy who drown along with everyone else that has passed away and prayers for the familes
I was in Lake P. last week and it was alot of fun. The lake water is very deep and even as an experienced swimmer - ALWAYS WEAR YOUR DAMN LIFE JACKET!
Native American water panther look it up
Two Feathers Oh my god why did you tell them about Missippissi? 😄We know but they accept the fact it exists.
Such "Pleasantries!"🙄
They should require it and ticket people if they don't have them
I guess Lake Pleasant, isn't so, pleasant
sirens singing to sailors till the drown they say its a beautiful women that's half fish
I think it's Pfizer waving $20 dollar bills...
I don’t believe in swimming in lakes they are dangerous.
Then don't

Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
That's my favorite comic book 🤲🏿📖🥱
Lake pleasant is dangerous for reasons that are not mentioned in this video nor mentioned in the comments. But there's something "fishy" going on in that lake, there's plenty of criminals who have access to that lake . I suspect foul.play, and we should consider that there are also rich folks with considerable amounts of money and fancy gadgets, weapons, tech
Shhhh .. don't fish.. no such thing as foul play...
