The video depicts children in Duluth, Minnesota, jumping into a pool in a rocky crevasse. Locally known as "The Deeps," what is often mistaken for a quarry in still photos is actually a natural basalt formation at Amity Falls in Lester Park. Some techniques for accessing the water require jumping a considerable horizontal distance.

There's a similar place called punchbowl falls on an incredible waterfall filled hike in Oregon. I jumped off it last summer...with my friend's brand new digital camera in my pocket. Oops :(
The almost cannonball started off well.
Duluth, MN, eh? Hmmm...
That photo was made on glass, not film. Much sharper.
