   There’s three factors to consider:
   1. Surviving the fall;
   2. The pressure at the bottom as the water gets funneled into a smaller pipe;
   3. The speed at which you get thrown out though the nossle will tear you limb from limb.
   This is assuming there isn’t anything else in there that can crush you or trap you.

   It’s the ‘Glory Hole’. This is Monticello dam at Lake Berryessa, east of Winters, California. The dam is named after the small town which was drowned when the dam was made in the 1950′s…Nice!

   Such nozzles are also a source for waterfall down into a turbine generating electric power from the potential energy of the waterfall. I find it strange there is no type of protection preventing large objects to enter.

   Anyone notice that the hole is on the same side of the lake as the road is on? One hell of a speeding deterrent. Sign posted: Speed and become fish chum!

   Its deep around 100 ft or so. Straight cement pipe all the way through. Been down there once or twice, really creepy looking up and realizing all of lake berryessa is right on top of you but it still really cool.
