Should I Watch out for Pools of Jello?

Should I Watch out for Pools of Jello?

Post by Alboin »

Consider that I have constructed an in ground pool that I then filled with Jello. The pool is 20 feet deep. One day I am walking around my pool when I slip on some spare Jello and fall face first into the pool. I'm about 6 feet tall, and the pool is 20. I sink straight to the bottom.

What would happen? Would the Jello enclose me in the pool? Would I drown in Jello? Or, would the Jello just kind of break into pieces and leave me standing at the bottom?

What do you think? I've read varying thought on the matter, and thought it would be an interesting topic...

Note: These guys did an experiment on this, but their pool was not hardened. I am referring to hardened Jello, like the stuff in the fridge.

You could eat your way out...

Seriously though, who wants a jello pool? Chocolate milk, now there's a pool!

If the jello is so hard it wouldn't close again over your head, it is probably hard enough to support (most of) your weight in the first line. It all depends on the viscosity of the jello.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
