<p>A couple of years ago, some frat guy tried to swim in the gorge after partying because it was really hot. Unfortunately, he drowned. During my time at Cornell, at least around 10 people either died or nearly escaped death by being rescued while trying to swim in the gorges. After hearing of these horrid incidents, I kept encouraging anyone to keep the hell out of going into the gorges. I think Cornell should technically make it illegal to swim in the gorges, and put up the “no swimming allowed” signs everywhere around the gorges and fences.</p>
