Yup, it sure seems like it.
I said at the start of this thread that this was not a rational discussion and APS once again proves the point. By this logic everyone should be terrified to walk across a street because over the last 2 years thousands of cars have passed over the exact spot going at speeds of 30 MPH or more. If a boat is doing 70 MPH in the Broads, canoeists in Green's Basin better watch out. Oh my Gosh, I just realized the Mt Washington goes through the Broads several times a day, in the exact spot I passed last weekend.
If the rowboat in the picture gets caught in the warp it could run right over the swimmer, maybe not fatal but probably very painful.
What's more dangerous, a boat doing 70 MPH that is nowhere near you (perhaps as far as 2 years away
) or 5 boats going 20 MPH 50 feet or less way from you? Since I have rarely seen a boat traveling at 70 MPH on the Lake but run across boats coming too close frequently on the Lake, I have worried more about the people breaking the safe passage/150' rule.
But that was before I knew about APS's Space-Time warp. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
