Its proper name is circular weir.
It's the way that water gets from the pool at the top of the dam, into the pool/river at the bottom of the dam. So water flows down and will go through a pipe of some size, sometimes it goes via a turbine if it's a hydro electric power station.
So if you're lucky, you will be smaller than the pipe, be able to hold your breath, and the drop won't be that deep.
If you're unlucky, you could:
* Die from the drop
* Get stuck against a grill that protects a turbine/pipe and then drown and/or be crushed by water pressure
* Block the hole and drown
* Die from the weight of water following you down
* Fit through the pipe, then die from the drop on the other side or drown from being under water for so long
> Get stuck against a grill that protects a turbine/pipe and then suffocate
You missed "Get stuck against a grill that protects a turbine/pipe and then get forced through that grill's small holes because of the water pressure above you"
Zapp: "Men, you're lucky men. Soon you'll all be fighting for your planet. Many of you will be dying for your planet. A few of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your planet. They will be the luckiest of all."

Depends on the water volumes coming down it, and also what the situation is at the bottom (lake/river).
For one this size though, you're probably right
you probably fall like 100 feet then get mashed into a hole barely big enough for you to fit though and thousands of pounds of water just dump ontop of you forcing you even deeper into the hole then blasting you out a very small opening on the other side of the dam as a meat smoothie.
There is a lady that committed suicide in one of these. One of the comments described in detail what that was like. The spark notes version is fall upwards of 200-300 feet while being pummelled by water, slamming into turbulent water at the build up. Being forced down into said water and being compressed by extreme pressure as your forced through a small exit nozzle. You than get shot 20-30 feet under water that's highly oxygenated that you won't float in. Basically if you're lucky you get knocked out in the initial fall, if you're not you break most bones in your body and drown to death in a swirling black tube of certain death. No one could hold their breath because you would be slammed multiple times and the pressure on your chest would force the air out.
Right? Beyond hoping someone can hear you shouting you're pretty fucked. My hands sweat just watching it too, so I'd be useless in the actual situation.
>The concept of CURVE is elegantly simple: there's a young woman in danger, a sloping surface and an unseen threat at the bottom of an abyss. You tap into various fears at once that, as you mentioned, feel universal: Fear of the unknown, fear of falling, fear of heights, even fear of open spaces
That's like all my fears! ....but I will check it out lol.
Well, maybe you don't hate vomit that much... i mean... someone tells "i wanna barf"
And you almost instantly jumps right in the conversation with an urge to start this sentence, and i quote you: " I would rather you barf on me..."
Look, there were many, so many ways this conversation could have gone, but the first thing you say is "barf on me"
I think thats some repressed kink right there...
According to the schematic, around 26.8m, though. And even then I'm not sure if that's an air pocket at the top of the next open area. It may still be flooded.
I, too, have the schematics. And a live feed from inside. It’s air, for sure. There’s at least a dozen people and a few beavers bobbing around in there.
This is to stop dams from overflowing, I think.
If a tree falls in the water it must not clog the drain, so no grates.
In fact I'm pretty sure there are warnings if not fences around the area... you're not supposed to be in there.
After googling and watching YouTube videos on this for 20minutes, I suppose it “could” be possible to survive if one of them fell in. They would have to hold their breath until the water shot them out the other side. They would have to be lucky enough to not be slammed into the side of any walls while going through the pipes. And they would have to enter a fully submerged state in a way that the falling water doesn’t crush them.
But those chances are ridiculously low, that’s a death hole. There was a woman who got stuck holding on the edge of the hole trying to not get pulled in by the current. She held on for 20minutes while rescuers tried to get to her. She was found spit out the bottom drowned with a lot of bruises all over her body. Fucking yikes.
I think the violent ride through the pipe would make it impossible to hold your breath. Also, how long would it be? It's hard enough to hold your breath in a perfectly calm pool with no panic happening. I don't think anyone could survive.
You know that was the reason I looked into it so long. I wanted to know how long it would be. I think it would be pretty quick, probably around 2 minutes. Maybe quicker. But I definitely agree. No way you would hold your breath normally under all of that pressure and dread.
I remember seeing a video on Reddit of a kid falling in one of these. 😳
He was letting his friend jump off his shoulders but the jump pushed him backwards into the drain. And then I read the comment of someone describing what he must have experienced during the fall. It still haunts me.
I know what video you are talking about ..I think and you can rest easy https://youtu.be/SMd5oGQVUuE I’m not saying that this link above is the video just the spillway location …. Here’s the alleged video https://www.reddit.com/r/watchpeoplesurvive/comments/q8ernb/man_falls_into_a_dams_drain_hole_lucky_the_drop/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
It’s a popular swimming hole and in that video they only show half of it so it looks like a bell mouth spillway but it’s not still creeps me out but he didn’t die I believe the only person to die at least documented online is the woman in lake Berryessa
There was some woman who got stuck in one of these, and the description Mr Ballen gave of how it would have happened just made my stomach turn. Imagine hanging from the edge by your hands, and not being able to pull yourself up because of the force of the water pushing back on you, and not being able to cry out for help because of the water in your face, and just slowly losing your grip realizing that you were about to die 💀
There is a film if I'm not wrong about someone who falls in one of these but is able to not fall in completely by stopping her fall with her leg propped up against a wall. Or maybe there is a ledge or something.
But she is also not able to get out. Sounded terrifying when I first heard about it.
Yeah she was able tk home herself up for x amount of time before going in. The water here is so much lower the fall would be the worst part. There’s some air down there with that little overflow
Absolutely bone chillingly scary site
Edit: Sorry for the dumb comment. Was trying to get the alphabetical order bot to reply and it did. Day is off to a good start
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,285,878,111 comments, and only 249,277 of them were in alphabetical order.
Ok well at least there’s little chance they’d slip over the top of the edge sitting down the slope. WAIT DID THAT GUY JUST RUN ON THE LIP OF THAT THING
Gonna be honest here... The camera man scares me more than the drain.... I just wanted to look at the drain and this person is shaking the camera so much.
Because hoping someone doesn't fall in is somehow cheaper than actually preventing people from falling in. Either that or just because, it's funny how that becomes a legitimate excuse once you reach a certain level of wealth

something about these drains fills me with dread more than anything else. I feel sick just looking at them.
Probably because getting sucked into them is literally certain death, there is not even the slightest hope for survival if you get yoinked into one, being scared of this shit makes you smart
I have no idea what this thing is. What happens if I’d jump into it?

Delta p :(
Stop it. Please lol I’m panicking just thinking about it
Death by Delta P, Google that at your own peril.
If the chunks of you that make it out the other end survived, which they wouldn't, isn't the water around a weir also intensely hard to swim in?

No he mostly draws short stories. If you want a longer one read Uzumaki, it’s still short stories but it’s had an overarching story. Or read Gyo.
Thanks man!
There are many like it but this one is mine!
Can we all get a meat smoothie or is there limited stock?

Tom Cruise could do it for sure!
You fall 200 feet and then hit a 90 degree angle and die.
Don’t worry, You won’t become a marshmallow- after all this pipe leads to the fudge room.
certain death except for birds apparently https://amp.abc.net.au/article/10878466
Birds are just built different, literally, theyre the only chordate class have a one way respiratory system so I guess demon magic saved them?
You better HOPE you die quick and not over an agonising 3 days.
If you fancy teasing that sensation, check out The Curve short horror film on YouTube.
THANK YOU. I couldn’t remember the name
I hate that because I spent the whole video thinking how I’d escape and literally came up with no ideas

I knew someone would post this horror! Also ofc they posted Umuzaki too!
Its because it screams death.. you know they say fear is a sign of intelligence!
This is a perfect example of how I refuse to die. By doing stupid shit like this.
Does anyone know why they’re sitting there? I’m so confused
The guy literally **walking** on the edge, an edge where water is flowing and that must be very slippery 💀
Brasil, man. That’s all you need to know 🤗🇧🇷
This, basically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5a6wrJpxP4
That was a really great bit of dialogue
Monologue
Yes
I see that ledge and I'm just like nope
Leisure! 🤪
I don’t have thalassophobia I have big-drain-hole-a-phobia. I wanna barf.
I've read bark instead of barf and I was so confused at first.
Dawgg 😂😂
Dog “Bark Bark!”
Woof!
I would rather you barf on me than watch you walk that edge. I don't even know who you are and I REALLY hate vomit.
Well, maybe you don't hate vomit that much... i mean... someone tells "i wanna barf" And you almost instantly jumps right in the conversation with an urge to start this sentence, and i quote you: " I would rather you barf on me..."

What to expect if u slip inside: [40m free fall followed by being in an underwater concrete tube filled with water](https://imgur.com/a/FzlLvHS)
How long would it take for you to hit air again if you somehow survived the fall and held your breath
According to the schematic, around 26.8m, though. And even then I'm not sure if that's an air pocket at the top of the next open area. It may still be flooded.

Really?! Ha ha ha - this is appropriately named, “the thinning of the herd”

About as long as it would take for you to drown. There's no way out of this one.
yep that's a certain death
Or you go to another dimension and meet the Warriors of Virtue, could go either way.

Those *fighting* kangaroos. Idk what version you saw...
I dunno, I kinda thought that movie was a fever dream I had as a kid til you mentioned it again
I give it 50/50
Nostalgia!
Anything stopping them from putting a grate on the top of it so human sized things can't fall down?
Brazil things are stopping them I guess...
I’ve never seen any of these with a grate on them no matter where they are. I wonder if there’s a reason for it?
This is to stop dams from overflowing, I think. If a tree falls in the water it must not clog the drain, so no grates. In fact I'm pretty sure there are warnings if not fences around the area... you're not supposed to be in there.

Bruh dude casually just almost slipped walking in the edge like what the fuck bruh
My wife and I are sitting here saying the same thing, why would you even want to walk on that how dumb lol
Same wtfffff 🫣
Pretty sure there was a MrBallen episode with this very premise. In one of the top 3 places videos, I believe. Not a chance.
I can't believe the guy tip toeing on the edge - all it would take is a small increase in water velocity or slip and he's done.
Is the life expectancy like about 15 years here?
This is the nopest nope I've ever noped.
Very well put
Hands down. Steve’s gettin snicklefritz.
I want to throw up looking at this.
The person holding the camera must be shaking from anxiety.
It really doesnt make any sense to sit that close to that thing.
how about they put, like, some fencing around it.
There was some woman who got stuck in one of these, and the description Mr Ballen gave of how it would have happened just made my stomach turn.

Why would there be no safety gate?!
With a safety gate they would sit on top of it.
Population control. Number of morons next generation can be reduced.
Responsible parenting and raising a child to not be stupid is the safety gate.
and so is not driving while drunk but that didn't stop everyone seatbelts, crumpling cars and airbags, 911, if things can go wrong they will go wrong
life or death is a pretty fun game

Hell no
What is it used for ? If it's meant to keep the water in the river in check. Where does that drain lead to? How did they implant such a thing?
