How high is the salinity of the Dead Sea? Why can't people drown when they jump?

There is a misunderstanding that the Dead Sea is the saltiest lake in the world. In fact, the sea, as a special tourist attraction, is geographically defined as the deepest depression in the world. But its salt content is not the highest in the world, but it is far higher than our ordinary ocean. Its salt content reaches more than 30%. Because of its high density, people can easily float on it. But I want to remind you that the high salt content of the Dead Sea does not mean that you can float on it without drowning.

According to the data survey, there are actually many people drowning in the Dead Sea every year. For example, 10 years, 2 1 people drowned in the Dead Sea. The total number of people drowned in that year was 1 17, and the rest didn't die, on the one hand, because they were in the diving area, on the other hand, they were found by the staff in time. This saved them, so it is very dangerous in the Dead Sea, which is no different from our usual sea.

Moreover, because the salt content in the four seas is particularly high, there are almost no creatures in it, and there are no birds around to prey. Except for the tourists who come here every year, it can be said to be very desolate. And when you travel around the world, don't think about swimming in it. Most people will receive technical guidance when entering the water. Don't face down. Because the salt content in the four seas is relatively high, if seawater enters our eyes, it will give us a strong stimulus. It may even cause harm to our eyes, and the most serious may lead to blindness.

Moreover, according to people who have traveled to the Dead Sea, bathing in it is not a particularly pleasant thing, because the density of seawater is too high, and human beings are easy to float. But it also means that our contact area with seawater will be reduced, and it is actually very difficult to control the balance of the body. At this point, it is similar to weightlessness in space.
