The news story is from 3 days ago. Also canals in the UK don’t have strong currents and the max depth where he drowned was only 5 foot in the middle, even shallower near the sides. Nearly all canals in the UK are only about 1 metre deep in the middle. Look it up and look up photos of drained canals in the UK if you don't believe me lol

Diving headfirst into a 5' deep canal (or any body of water of unknown depth) is really a "user error" and not a valid safety concern or flaw around the canals...idiots be idiots.
