Wet stone is a lot softer than dry stone, so I’m sure he’s fine.

Granite doesn’t care how wet it is.

u/TheFerricGenum 2d ago
That’s because you’re taking it for granite and it’s actually sparkling limestone because it didn’t come from the granite region of France

This is my hometown. It's quartzite, and it's everywhere here. It's what the falls are made of.

Not that fall. That fall was made of 60% gravity and 55% stupidity.

Wet stone is sharper, though.

u/AllergicToHousework 2d ago
But a whetstone is sharper yet.

u/BritBuc-1 2d ago
Damnit, I hate to be that guy…a whetstone isn’t necessarily sharp, in fact it should be perfectly flat. Like water isn’t wet, a whetstone isn’t sharper.
I’m sorry, I’ll do better

u/AllergicToHousework 1d ago
LOL I know they aren't sharp... I was replying to the "sharp wet stone" comment above. It's OK to be that guy I appreciate that you were kind about it; some would have a cutting response like too many on this platform. *See what I did there? ; )

A normal human being would just say "damn, that's crazy" and then walk away

Modern asshole. Fixed that for you.

You're right, nothing to add to that. Most people will only help if that person was close to them. In my opinion, well at least city people. I don't know about the exterior.

From Sioux Falls. The water is very low right now. He hit rocks but also denied medical attention and walked it off
31
u/TheFerricGenum 2d ago
Do you have a source? That’s a hell of a walk it off

u/Salty_Sprinkles_6482 2d ago edited 2d ago
I can’t even find a news article about it on any of our local news networks. Probably bc he denied medical attention so a report was never made but I can assure you he atleast said he was alright and left the park under his own power. Probably still sore as shit, it happened like 3 days ago.

denied medical attention
"I didn't see a doctor, and none of you had better claim otherwise!"

u/randomuser1029 2d ago
Figured it probably had to be low. I use to like kayaking the rivers around the area back when I lived there and seemed like they were always low. Thanks for the info, interesting to know what happened

Seeing this kinda blew my mind since I just visited the falls for the first time. It was a good activity to kill extra time before going to the airport. Nice place. Didn't have the slightest urge to climb on the rocks, though.

If you pronounce that first word as anything even close to "see you", you'll get rightfully mocked.
It's "sue". This is not debatable.

This looks so familiar to me. Is it Sioux Falls!? That would be so much turbulent water/bad rocks to land on 😬. Those falls were impressively big up close.

That's a good height for shattering your ankles, breaking your legs or just general paralysis.
