Sad but true; a friend of my sister-in-law drowned in a flooded quarry about 4 years ago (when they were 15/16) and the place is surrounded by fences / huge and very visible warning signs about the danger of drowning...
Sadly teenagers and young people are hard-coded to feel invincible, and that leads to these situations. Climbing around building sites, or train tracks, are another common source of these accidents with young teens.
