VIDEO: They Jump In to Have a Swim, but They Don’t Know They Are RISKING THEIR LIVES!

There are some people that would do anything to stay safe and to keep out of danger at all cost, but at the same time there are people who would love nothing more than to do the exact opposite.

These are the people that live for the thrill and the thing they love feeling the most is that rush of adrenaline you get when you do something that is really risky and could even put your life in danger.

These adrenaline junkies would do just about anything to get that thrill and this means even jumping into dangerous waters from which few make it out alive. But if this really is your passion then you can’t really fight it and you have to do it to feel good.

According to wiklipedia.org, Queen’s Bath is a unique tide pool on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawaii. The pool is a sinkhole surrounded by igneous rock. It is located on the north shore of Kauaʻi in the town of Princeville. The swimming area is accessible via a short trail. In the winter during periods of high surf it is considered dangerous.

Seven people have drowned after being swept off rocks by unexpected waves. In small surf—usually in the summer—the water in the pool is calm. Small fish and tiny sea life also live in the tide pool, such as Hawaiʻian sea urchins, angelfish and the so-called “ghost fish”.

The original “Queen’s Bath” was located in Kalapana on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. It was formed after a lava tube collapsed and filled with fresh water supplied by natural springs. In ancient times only the Aliʻi (Royalty) were permitted entry to the sacred waters. In 1983 Kilauea Volcano erupted and in 1987 the original site was destroyed by lava flow.

Only after the original site on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi was destroyed did the location on Kauai become better known as “Queen’s Bath”. This tide pool was used for what it sounds like; it was a royal bathing place. It was also used as a place of relaxation when an Aliʻi needed to “wash off the stress”.

Modern day tourists frequent the queen’s bath as a romantic secluded swimming location.

Queen’s Bath used to be called Keanalele and known for a mound with the most concentrated complex petroglyphs in Hawai’i.

The Queen Emma’s Baths are some black rock pools with intricate reef openings. You should never visit them during times of high surf because that’s when they are dangerous but those that want the adrenaline rush go there exactly at this time. In order to access the site you first walk down a steep trail then you pass waterfalls and rocky bluffs.

Do you think that the adrenaline rush is worth risking your life? Would you jump from such a distance and swim in those waters? Sure, it is beautiful and it’s probably too but is this worth getting injured or even dying if you have bad luck?
