| If you filled a deep swimming pool with jell-o & let it harden, what would happen if you jumped into it & shot down to the bottom? COuld you swim up through it to the surface? Would your hands just squish through it thereby not propelling you anywhere? How terrible would it be to drown in red jello? |

that's a good question. distrubing, but good.
i'd like to think that i could swim out of it.. but then, i'm an exceptional swimmer (no joke actually).. but i'm guessing you probably couldn't swim out of it.. making for a nightmarish red-jello drowning death (personally, i think drowning would be the worst way to go)..
maybe we should ask The Swimmer..

| I'm peggin it at 16 ft, so if you jump in, you wouldn't go all the way to the bottom, leaving the possibility of struggling & sinking further. |

| I'm also making the assumption that you'd break through the surface when you jump in. It'd have to be a Pencil Dive. |

I think it depends on the consistency of the jello. If you didn't sink all the way to the bottom you could survive and eventually escape. All you'd have to do is eat out enough space for air.
True, this would rather quickly fill up with your exhaled Co2 but hopefully it would give you enough time to either:
1) begin eating out a path to the ladder where you could climb out or
2) a trail to the surface where you could then move to the edge of the pool and get out.
But only if it's thick enough. Is there fruit in the jello? |

Is it a hot day? I would so be able to escape if it were like 95 degrees fahrenheit and sunny.
Are there fire ants beside the pool? cause that would suck. |

That was a horrifying concept. For some reason I imagined orange.
I would choose to commit suicide this way rather than stabbing a steak knife into my own heart. |

| How much would that cost, I wonder? Lesse, in bulk, you could maybe get a box of cherry, or would it be strawberry, or tropical? Gotta figure that out...maybe 10 cents a box...16ft deep at the deep end? How wide is the pool? This is weird, because, well, if you read my post in the "Dreams" topic... Can you tell I'm sick and bored like hell? |

| But the pain of the water filling your lungs would be horrible. I heard freezing to death is like falling asleep but I don't know about the hallucinatory factor. |

I think it would be really hard for me to do this. I'd have to attach the knife to a wall and run into it, cause I don't think i could stab myself.
Orange color would be weird. I think drowing in blue jello might be peaceful. What about drowning in jello dyed black? |

You might be able to dig your way out of the pool with your bare hands, again depending on the consistency.

Depends on how cold and how solid the jello is. I'm willing to bet that if it is thick and rather cold, jumping in will create a hole above you and should probably leave enough space to breath through. If it's not solid enough, the jello would just move and shift and fill the gap left by your body. Best bet would be to jump in with an air tube.

Well, if you're trying to survive this experience, I would suggest a SCUBA tank and you can walk your way out the pool. That actually sounds pretty fun. |

Me and my cousin tend to have arguement like this but about a pool filled with dish washing liquid. He says it would be impossible to float or swim in so you'd drown and on top of that the incredible pain if you opened your eyes while you were submerged. I like to think you could float in it, but I don't know.

| Why couldn't you float or swim in dish soap? Isn't dish soap denser than water (it sinks when you squirt it into a pot of water), thus making floating easier? Perhaps the vescosity would make it harder to swim. |

| If it was relatively solid and you jumped in and went down to the bottom, wouldn't there be a hole where you fell in? Couldn't you just come back up through the same spot? |

I'm not sure much about the dish washing liquid which is why it tends to be a recurring arguement. One day I'm gonna test it though.

lol

I think there are a lot of hypothetical factors of the situation to consider:
1. Jello Consistency: as has been said, if it is liquid like, surely if you could swim, you would get out, just be little sticky.
2. Environmental Factors: Indoor or outdoor pool? See if it were kinda cold, like 33 degrees farenhiet, you probably would suffocate when you pencil dived into the bottom. There is a slight possiblity of air pockets and gradually climbing out, but I think if you were under 10 feet of cold, firm jello, it would collapse in on you. I wonder if your ears would hurt from the pressure like water?
Tough question, but hilarious topic. Everyone is making me laugh.

Swimmer, that's like Monty Pythons "The Meaning Of Life" scene where the man convicted of writing smutty movie scripts chooses his execution. HA!
LBF & others, the jello has to be hard. HARD I SAY! none of this liquid crap, think straight out of the fridge. Not as solid as jello jigglers, but a complete, unbroken mass of cold jello that you jump into feet first.
What if it isn't Jell-O brand jello, but just flavorless colored gelatin, like the kind Mrs. Wasick tricked us into eating back in first grade? It was flavorless blue goop. Try eating yer way outta that! TRY IT! |

Yous guys are really funny in case you were unaware.

I concur with Bill Goodman, I too have heard that death by drowning is supposed to be surprisingly enjoyable - your body writhes about abit apparently but your mind is supposed to be pretty serene. Now whether this line of thought transfers to death by jelly...who could say?
