Recreating Leslie Mueller's alleged journey down creek

October 13, 2013 / 01:22

This episode covers a water safety test involving a mannequin, the challenges of positioning it for underwater filming, and the effects of water flow on a body.

The discussion includes details about the landing area for the mannequin, whether it was in the V or on top of a large rock. Demonstrations were conducted to assess the situation, with the mannequin reported to have only one shoe due to a fall.

There were concerns about stability during the test, as the team prepared cameras and equipment. The goal was to simulate what would happen to a body in the water at the original FAL site.

Key discussions focus on the water flow dynamics and how they might affect a body going over the first drop, with observations made about the water's behavior and potential outcomes.

TLDR

A water safety test simulates body flow dynamics over a drop.

I just really wasn't clear about the landing area was it in the v or was it on top of the large Rock so I I did

00:00:08

demonstrations on both of them so the first time we advance her out and we're using that that steel tape is just a

00:00:15

scale so we can move her out in approximate one foot she was reported to only have one shoe on or one shoe was

00:00:22

lost during the fall or whatever that's why there's there's a single shoe on the

00:00:26

uh the feet and trying to pull this thing and get everybody ready with the cameras you can

00:00:34

see that there was some instability and it almost tried to take off at that point I don't know if it would have or

00:00:40

not and confirming all the cameras are ready to go just trying to bring the mannequin down and uh get it in a

00:00:46

position so we can test it in that that uh that water of the original FAL sight here with an underwater camera and

00:00:54

downstream V entering the main water Channel there's the falls and see the the water is

00:01:01

arated and there is the water exiting towards river right a body going over there wouldn't hang up maybe it' flush

00:01:09

out so now we're testing what's going to happen when it flushes out so there is a

00:01:15

variation in in the first pool as to what would happen to a body going over that first drop
