Taking Toy Boats through Underground Tunnels!

  I worked for a Utility that had a Hydro generating system with dams ,tunnels , canals , and powerhouses . I saw a coworker driving down the road with a handful of high school aged kids in his work truck that had inner tubes . It was totally against the rules to give the public rides in our vehicles so when I caught up with my coworker later I asked him what was up .<br>He said he encountered &nbsp;the kids walking down the road and they flagged him down &nbsp;and all looked terrified .<br>He said initially they wouldn&apos;t tell him what happened but then finally admitted they had put their tubes in one of our canals that was full with fast flowing cold water thinking it would be a fun &nbsp;ride (despite the Warning /Danger/Keep out signs ). &nbsp;Problem was the canal changed to a tunnel blasted through a mountain side a couple of hundred yards past where they put in . The water flows pretty fast making it very hard to stop even after you see the tunnel . After entering the tunnel they were plunged into complete darkness and the ceiling is only about 1 1/2 -2 feet above the water with jagged rocks hanging down with a full canal &nbsp;. I think that first tunnel is about 1/4 mile long and it must have seemed like forever before they came out on the other end and had to climb over the canal wall to escape . Apparently it wasn&apos;t as much fun as they thought it would be but luckily for them they all survived &nbsp;.

  This is a classic example of Natural Selection. &nbsp;Just give it time.

  This is so dangerous those tunnels can fill to the top during a storm so easily

  This is definitely the most important accomplishment of this man&apos;s life. &nbsp;Nothing he has ever done or will ever do can possibly compare. &nbsp;Absolute peak moment here.

  It&apos;s always funny to me when I see youtubers make videos at this tunnel. It&apos;s by my grandma&apos;s house.

  These guys would think I was the most boring person on earth. I have no desire to ever do this but it&apos;s fun and interesting to watch.

  It wouldn&apos;t be so funny if there were rotating blades at the end. &nbsp; 🤣
