The Strid (Worlds Most Dangerous River)

Not sure if u guys have ever heard of "The Strid". Its located in Yorkshire England and its quite a fascinating and utterly DEADLY stretch of water.

The river starts out at about (60) feet wide or so and then funnels into an area thats about (4-6) feet wide in most areas. It has a 100% FATALITY rate if u fall in! No one has ever fallen in to tell their story!

At its most dangerous location its only (4) feet wide and its (213) feet deep! Yes (213) feet that was recently verified with a depth finder! Could be deeper in spots tho its tough to say cause its so turbulent.

The river literally turns itself on its side and has carved out a very deep hole thru the rocks and under the rock that ur walking on are caverns and caves underneath that can go hundreds of feet in either direction!

The last couple that fell in were newly weds and tried crossing a (3) foot wide spot and the woman slipped and fell in after the water rose and was sucked under. Her husband jumped in to save her and he too was sucked under. He was found (2) months later (10) miles down stream!

Many who have fallen have never been seen again!

But people stil Kayak down it.

nope, nope nope.

**** that shit.

^ I agree **** that shit indeed.

At 3:46, even with a life jacket, I feel like that guy would have died if he didn't get pulled out.

Looks like the type of river you'd find 3 buddies searching for lost treasure at.
"What are you a class 4 or 5 guide?"

"Mhm try putting those numbers together. That's right I've shot a class 45 before and I've never lost a man"

I think I'll stick to small ponds and lakes with our kayaks

^Classic movie haha.

But yeah, reminds me of the blue hole or whatever it is. Just a hard pass for me.

Insane. Water is not something to mess with.

I would be disappointed if someone didn’t post this.

I’d do it just to die in water

Have you seen this one? Sanctum? Not fun to watch if your claustrophobic or fear water. I watched it. My wife wouldn't.


That Strid River is one to definitely stay away from.

Lmao I never even thought of that. Yea, ppl hire hitmen and pay big bucks to kill someone when all they needed to do is take a little stroll by the river...... Who would question one falling in and dying?

I enjoyed that movie!

Speaking of claustrophobia, John Jones was a future doctor and part time spelunker that died in the worse imaginable way. Stuck upside down in a very tight passage in Utah at Nutty Putty Cave. Hundreds of rescuers tried to get him out but only had a few hours because of the position he was in. In the end they sealed the cave entrance with concrete and the cave became his tomb. He left behind a pregnant wife and child! I don't understand the allure of crawling into tight cave passages. No thanks!

There's a 2016 movie about John Jones ordeal called "The Last Descent"

Question, if pulling him out would break his legs....wouldn't you rather have two broken legs than be dead?
