I grew up in a more rural area and we always played in a old stonequarry in the woods. I went back there a few years ago and was quite shocked how high that was. I dont think our parents were aware of that. Well - we all survived (not without some injuries to teach us a lesson).

Ha, me too! It was a pretty dangerous mix of falling and drowning opportunities. The quarry I went to was flooded by a natural spring.

I never knew people personally who died in it, but there were several people who had throughout my childhood. As I recall, it was mostly teenagers drinking and swimming. If you add alcohol, even a staircase can be dangerous
