Kid jumped off a dam.
quote:
The father, 42-year-old Jose James Flores, was a resident of Tyler, Texas, outlets reported. Flores’ son leaped off the top of the Flint Creek Dam, near Siloam Springs, and into the water below on Saturday, May 28, TV station KYTX reported.
Moments later, Flores jumped in after him. Police received a call that two individuals, a man and his juvenile son, had gone into the creek and needed rescue, the Grand River Dam Authority Police Department told KTUL.
Nearby witnesses were able to pull Flores and his son out of the water and perform CPR, police told KFSM. They had been underwater for at least five minutes, and while life-saving efforts worked on the son, his father could not be resuscitated.

Is that area safe to jump from?

It’s a weir (low-water) dam. I’ve done it before, but they are dangerous and you can get stuck in the undertow immediately below. But lots of rec facilities from back in the day allow people to do this and swim around them. This makes my heart hurt for them. Prayers for those two and their family.

I can't say this enough. Do not go swimming or paddling over or around low water dams.
The man made structure create a perfectly round hole that doesn't have an escapable edge to it where the current will eventually wash you out. It will just hold you under water. Even a lifejacket isn't enough to be safe at these places.
