Jumping into a pool of Jello...

[LotsOfOuts69]

OK, inspired by the rebirth of the 5 year olds discussion, this is an arguement that me and my friends have had for the last 10+ years.

Here's the situation, lets say you jumped off a diving board into a pool full of jello. Assume a large pool with about 10 feet of depth. The jello is solid, not cubed.

Would you survive?? We have had arguements over thought of would you even break into the jello, would you get suspended in mid pool and be unable to move. Could you climb out if you were suspended midway down. Would the jello close up above you and suffocate you? Could you get to the side of the pool and climb out that way.

Anyway, don't know if this will catch on, but its open for discussion...

I'm not sure...how would you get out? Jello brings thoughts of quick sand to mind.

You'd survive the jump. But, the chance of being smothered and suffocated seem very high in a ten-foot pool.

This is my thought also, but surprisingy, only me and one of my friends feel this way. 6 other people, plus almost everyone we tell this too says you would die.

<ul type="square">[*]You should definitely try this and report back (assuming you can).[*]If it's lime jello, you'll live. Cherry, no way. If there are fruits suspended, it's 50/50, unless it's kiwi, which would make it 100% survival rate.[*]YSSCKY, and that's not a bad way to go.[/list]

Go read the Sept. GQ (Tom Brady cover) article entitled "The Best Twelve Years of His Life". A similar thought was almost realized.
