You’ve proved absolutely nothing apart from how unprepared you were to carry out any ‘tests’. The GoPro video has shown that there are shelves under the water that can cause false readings that make it seem shallower than it is.
The chap doing the 'milk bottle' test was to trying to determine if the sub surface currents were really strong or not. It had nothing to do with finding the depth. The fact that the bottles had different level of buoyancy should be self explanatory.
You are criticizing other people. 1. You should have marked the level properly rather than just saying " yes, that feels wet". 2. You need something to actually accurately measure the rope and 3. You should do it a few times at several different points to be certain that you are actually hitting the bottom and getting a good result. And personally I wouldn't say that the signs were necessarily 100 percent accurate..
There is a lot of conflicting information on depth. Some have claimed 20 feet with a physical halfway method of measurement. Some have tested the undertow with empty bottles and half-filled bottles, one guy put a camera and light down on a rope and lots of rock overhangs at various depths were visible. That same guy used a sonar ball on a pole and it showed up to 65 meters deep and with varying depths, but also showed errors on and off. In the video where he threw the camera over, it went down to like 30+ feet if I remember correctly to a quiet section on the 'bottom'...but it could have been just another rock ledge. The Karst landscape can get very tall. What I saw closer to the waterfall on the video (youtuber Jack A Snacks) showed trillions of bubbles everywhere running up the rock ledges on the side, so the water is very aerated and you can't swim or float in it. As those bubbles rise, you sink. The current is also ridiculously strong just a few feet down with water tornadoes visible, which of course is what grabs the small rocks and 'drills' with them to make the round holes seen all around the Strid banks. It's dangerous no matter how deep it is...the aerated water alone is enough to be a 100% death rate if you fall in the wrong spot. Then when you factor in the strong current and underwater ledges and caves to get caught in...there's no question. Aerated water is similar to what some lowhead dams/weirs in the UK have that take people under because you can't swim in aerated water.
Sorry going to measure how deep something is and forgetting to take a tape measure shows how well thought out this was lol your findings mean nothing lol
As a local I say just go a mile down stream to the rather picturesque Bolton Abbey and see how wide the river is there. There's 60 stepping stones in place to get across the same river. Now given most fit and able adults could jump across The Strid providing you're dumb enough to accept the guaranteed Darwin Award if you slip and fall in I think that gives a decent idea of how deep it is there, the river basically rolls on to it's side.
Your hypothesis, and I use the term very loosely, is floored. How you can claim that it would be still water is beyond me. As anybody with experience of rivers or the sea will tell you, currents happen at many different depths and can be of vastly different strengths. You would have to know the depth, width and shape of the sub surface channel to even remotely hazard a guess. As for depth, "absolute certainty"? Really? How do you know your weight reached the bottom? Do you think the sides of that narrow gulley are completely smooth and straight all the way down? That's just one of the problems experienced in the videos you try to debunk. How do you explain the findings of others, those who used similar methods to you, never mind the sonar readings?
As I explained there is a sign saying how deep it is. I measured the depth and it corresponded with the already known facts. Case closed. And if it was 70 metres deep or any other utterly ridiculous depth, much of that water must be still because there isn't the volume of water coming in to allow 70 metres of water to all have a strong current. I made all this clear in the video.
Your going off of a weight on a string,u try to debunk the kid but there are so many nooks and crannies to get a proper reading. An the kids reading never said 70 meters. So I’d believe the kids experiment over yours. No offense mate.
The other gentleman kept his video going and you just briefly showed absolutely nothing. I'm more out to believe what I saw on video. I would have to be 5 years old to be convinced of your little test

You're absolutely right. I got that wrong!

You did a video on depth and forgot a means to measure the rope!!
erm....
A guy put a go pro in there it has a LOT of lips and pockets things being dropped get stuck on :(

To measure a long length of rope. Fold in half. Then again and again. Estimate one leg with say A4 paper 30cm. Multiply.

Yeah and I saw a VERY dtrong current at like 30 m deep that's crazy and j saw a stalactite there
@@thealternativeview2692 Their are thought that there are other under ground/cave rivers which enter it at depth
Damn, u so mad

2022 and filming in 11p definition ?
here's 5p, go buy yourself some pixels
hahaha
LOL !! 😂
Dude 😂😂😂
Its around 69m atleast on one spot
Must be a British way of measuring things
Nice but why 420p.
My mistake. Great point.
@@thealternativeview2692 Can’t learn without making mistakes or complete fucking up somewhere along the track.
Your spot on, that is the correct way. Thanks buddy I finally got a answer. Don’t you go to far near the edge buddy. Thanks Ross 😱👍
fill it full of dynamite prob like couple hundred lbs n let er rip then you will kno how deep it is n whats down there
