    Going by that logic, just a meter deep is a crushing death. And right where you are you could smash your head against something… which is at least also something that happens all the time, no need to look at theoretical far-away things when the boring truth is far worse.

      Just a few days ago, someone I know had to be hospitalized because of somehow slipping and smashing badly into their desk while doing normal, boring office work. From how it was described to me, I cannot help thinking sex was somehow involved, like receiving or giving oral sex from under the table maybe.
      EDIT: Typing this, I was reminded of a guy who got smacked in the back of his head. Got X-rayed, everything looked normal. They kept him in the hospital for observation, though. X-ray again after an hour, a huge hematoma had evolved under his skin, pressing on the upper spine. They immediately drained it. Otherwise, it would have killed him very quickly.

      And most modern cars are less than a second or two away from deadly speeds while driving if not already travelling at deadly speeds 😅
