There are electric shocks, but no electrocution. Nobody has ever been electrocuted. The difference is huge.
True. And i Have seen all the cords hanging down sometimes get tangled together in a big group and wondered: what if someone hit that group, and each was live, what kind of shock would that be? (because one is nothing, but 10?)
And as others have stated: the jump of the platform into the water was the most dangerous obstacle because staff were not particularly being careful about making sure no one was below you when you jumped. It was pretty high up. If a big guy landed on your head while you were still under water (and if you went under deep, the next jumper might not think anyone was still underneath them), you'd get clobbered, possibly knocked out, and then yes, in the chaos, might not be noticed under the water (and some people wear heavy gear that might make them sink). I'd say that that was the most likely scenario. I got to the surface and swam out of there has fast as I could so this would not happen.
Ironically, just a week ago, I read an article where the CEO said, and it was the title of the article: "Amazingly, we've had no one die yet."
