“I really want to know if he is okay! Who has details???” someone wrote, while another said, “Maybe if they dig a bit faster, he might magically appear.”
“They might be in shock or unsure how to help safely,” a separate user responded. “Sometimes hesitation comes from fear of making things worse.”
“He kinda looked like he knew where he was going,” a fourth, less concerned user wrote.
Another said: “If there’s a cave system beneath the surface, thewatercould have pulled him under. I desperately hope he’s safe and sound.”

“There can be a whirlpool,” somebody else suggested. “Most whirlpools aren’t cause for concern.”
Awhirlpoolis a rotating body of water that occurs when two currents meet or one current hits a wall. They can form in rivers, large lakes, and at the base of waterfalls.
Strong whirlpools can pull a person underwater and trap them in a circular or downward motion.
Once submerged, it can be very difficult to escape, as the movement can leave people disoriented and stuck without air.
According to theNiagra Parks website, some whirlpools grow and vanish over a short period of time, while other water systems maintain whirlpools for centuries.
People suggested that the man might have drowned after being sucked into a whirlpool or hitting his head on the rocks
Another theory is that the man struck rocks or the side of the natural pool, resulting in physical trauma that left him unconscious or prevented him from swimming to the surface.
He could also have died due to the natural pool being “aerated,” which occurs when water is mixed with air. The air bubbles decrease the water’s buoyancy, making it harder for a person to stay afloat.
In May 2013, acclaimed photographer Jacob Cockledied in the seaafter getting sucked into a whirlpool in a harbor in Cornwall, England.
Cockle, who won awards for his sea photography from National Geographic, wanted to capture what the inside of a whirlpool would look like from hisGoPro camera.
He dove down into the sea to get an underwater shot, but the current was too strong. His friend found him floating in the water, facing down.
Weeks before his death, the 28-year-old had won a £28,000 ($36,650) expedition to Antarctica, which was one of his dreams.
Last August,three touristsfrom Utah, USA,drownedwhen two tried to rescue the third from a whirlpool in California.
The victims, identified as David Bell, Jeannine Skinner, and Peter On, were sucked into the whirlpool while canyoneering with a group along the Kern River.
Though rescuers were able to get their bodies out in seven minutes and didCPRon them immediately, they were not able to revive any of them.

If you get someone out of the water who shows no sign of breathing, pinch their nose and keep their head tilted back as you breathe into their mouth from yours.
Try to make as good a seal as you can with your mouth over theirs and give them five rescue breaths that last one second each.
The biggest killer in cases of drowning is a lack of oxygen in the body,explains A&E doctor, Saleyha Ahsan. CPR and rescue breaths help get oxygen to the victim’s brain and organs.
Netizens reacted to the clip, with many sharing their theories about what might have happened to the man
