Had a nasty trip down a similar maelstrom while whitewater kyacking. Tons of little ones forming near cresent rocks but this was something else, popped up immediately from a smaller one right in front of my bow like someone pulled out the plug, it was sureal. Unfortunately I backpaddel but that current was ungodly strong and the boat broke starboard and tipped directly into this thing. Just like that I felt the gravity of this torrent and went vertical while spinning and capsized. I just remember losing all sense of direction and getting hit from all sides with what felt like a waterfall just ripping at you. Took in some water and went straight down to the silt bed below, felt the crunch. 1000s of pounds of water just cascading over my body. Total blackness and a sound like bubbly champaign. Something odd though as I must have been pulled by the undercurrent something fierce. Shot me right into a rock face but was so lucky not to be pinned as the whole boat actually pivoted upright, crushed my elbow but my life jacket saved my life. Shoulders broke at the surface and I just stayed there until my spotter came through. I remember not being able to see. Only hear. I thought I was still in the vortex for some reason but I was a good 50ft down river by then. Had no sense of traveling. Threw up and just kept my eyes closed for some time. Felt like lungs were collapsed but again, that life vest. Bruised to hell and back and bloody from being dragged through the silt but to this day I will never forget that eternal 20 seconds and that feeling of dropping into that thing. Just an awful sensation to plummet into that vacuum that quick and have zero power. Was not even dizzy, just in shock and panic. Was never afraid of them up until that point as I was use to hitting them at the apex in the right flow and getting a speed boost like most kayakers do but this was a lesson in unpredictability in nature.

If you were sucked into a whirlpool, it would be a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. Whirlpools, also known as eddies, are powerful currents of water that can form in rivers, oceans, and other bodies of water. They are caused by a variety of factors, including changes in water depth, currents, and tides.
Being sucked into a whirlpool would likely mean being pulled under the water and being pulled downstream by the current. If you were in a boat or other watercraft, it could also mean capsizing or being pulled under the water.
It's important to try to stay afloat and keep your head above water if you are caught in a whirlpool. Try to swim out of the current by swimming parallel to the shore or in the direction that the current is flowing. If you are in a boat, try to steer away from the whirlpool and head for the shore or a safe area.
It's crucial to avoid getting too close to a whirlpool and to be aware of the conditions and currents before you enter the water. It's also important to be aware of the signs of a whirlpool, such as swirling water, debris, and a loud roaring noise, and to be prepared to take action quickly if you find yourself caught in one.
It's also important to note that, in some cases, the whirlpools can be very large and dangerous, and it's not advisable to try to swim out of them. In such cases, the best course of action is to try to stay afloat and wait for rescue.

The only problem is that the more menacing vortex shaped whirlpool shown in the video does not form naturally unless its a man made structure like a pipe/opening where water rushes with huge force and creates that inverted tornado from the bottom upwards. But felling into one of those is a completely different story as the vortex and spinning forces are far more powerful than natural occurring ones (maelstroms) as you are being dragged fast towards the intake of that pipe on the bottom of lake/river. There you will experience huge pressure and forces that act on your body as you get slammed and twisted to the walls of the pipe in pitch darkness. Taking about one last water ride that must be one of the worst ways to go. Just for curiosity search for whirlpool/vortex in lake/dam to see the real eye of death, it makes the natural occurring ones look like a ride from a Disney Park.

There are plenty near ocean inlets north east US and Canada. Fishermen and locals know where mostly when tide moves through a narrow cut giving boats under 24 ft a rough time. Some are in streams where it drops off and big bridge abutments. If the dunking dont get you the tangles of nylon fishing line will.

If you got in a whirlpool where would it take you and how far deep would it take you? Can you swim back up? Setting in my chair and I feel like I'm actually in a whirlpool watching this don't think I can hold my breath that long.

My sister, has a bestfriend with a brother that died cause of a whirlpool. Search team found his body exactly where the whirlpool was. It pulled him straight down. Happened at Silverwood lake in Southern California.

Im here to leave a comment, a person close to our family told me one of his family members survived. His cousing described he was sucked into it but then it launched him out of danger. He was close to drowning

Imagine being stranded in the ocean with a life jacket and you start going in circles slowly not realizing a whirlpool is forming right there --

This is probably why they don-t want to research the ocean. can-t fight water. can-t control it and there-s too much mystery in it.

Or more likely. Instead of surviving at the last moment you just drown at the bottom. Reality doesn't mess around like movies do.

If The vortex is in a sink it wouldn-t be very dangerous but when it-s in the ocean it might be dangerous
