Police have warned teenagers not to swim in a flooded quarry near Standish after a photo emerged of people queuing up to jump into the water.
With another sunny weekend ahead, police have asked teenagers to stay away from the quarry at Appley Bridge - where two young men have died since 1999.
They are appealing to parents to intervene.
Officers took the photo last weekend and do not want it repeated.
They police issued this warning…
“Do you know where your child was this weekend?
“This weekend we saw hundreds of young people putting their lives at risk – as shown by this photo we took. We know the nice weather makes it appealing to cool down in the quarry but are they aware of the dangers?
“There is industrial piping and other equipment hidden beneath the water, the temperature change of jumping into cold water when your body is hot initiates a gasp response which can cause you to drown within seconds of entering the water, plus drinking alcohol (as some of these young people were) not only dehydrates you but causes your reactions to be delayed.
“We know young people want to enjoy themselves, but we are appealing to parents because we care. We don’t want to be the officers calling at your address to pass on the awful news that something terrible has happened to your child.”
