“Monastery Beach in Monterey, CA. Going into the water can kill you and the waves have pulled people from the shore to their death.” -_zydrate_ -

“Caves. I know spelunking is a "cool hobby" for some people, just like scuba diving and rock climbing. But things can go so wrong so fast when you're in a subterranean cave, and it can be really difficult for anyone to come rescue you. You can die by falling, by getting stuck, by a cave-in, by getting lost, by getting caught in a flash flood and drowning... Just so many awful ways to die in a cave. (See: John Jones dying in Nutty Putty cave)” -Clara_Coulson -

“Old battlefields. You should never cross an an old battlefield even if it’s from decades ago, and seems “safe”. There could be landmines hidden and you could end up with a limb blown off, or dead. It can be very difficult for someone to rescue you because there are landmines and it’s difficult to know where to step, and most battlefields are abandoned or far away from civilization. You can die by being exploded of course, wound infection or bleeding out (if limb was blown off), starvation and thirst. Either way, just don’t do it.” -NimbleVaseline -

“Sulfur vents. You get nose-blind to the smell almost immediately. If the concentration gets high enough, you will asphyxiate. If you fall in, you may die from the steam burns, before you asphyxiate, though. Either way, you ain't coming out.” -Sttocs -

“Please stay away from rails, people always underestimate how fast trains are.” -RedandAlive -
11.
“Low head dams on rivers. They are drowning machines. You fall off the dam, or swim too close the the downstream side where the water spills over- there is a circular current. It draws a person into the water fall; waterfall pushes the down to near bottom and shoots you down stream, but not enough to get out of the cycle. If you lived through it and surface, you are pulled back to the waterfall again.” -Popcorn53 -

“The parts of Bondi beach that aren't the red and yellow flags if you want to go swimming. Paddling or wading for outside the flags? Sure. Full-on swimming though? You're in dangerous territory for a rip. Be careful when at Bondi.” -Arc_the_Fox -

“Wittenoom. Idiot tourists go there for instagram likes or whatever. There are plenty of perfectly good gorges nearby that aren’t full of the worst kind of asbestos. Sure, I do personally have something against the place, but surely it’s not worth it to go there. The croc in Wittenoom will still be there long after the radiation in Chernobyl has completely faded.” -SilentHuman8 -

“Any underwater cave. There's gotta be a ton of skeletons in diving gear, hundreds of feet underground, in pitch black. No thank you.” -radio-morioh-cho -
