God forbid should anyone break through but if they did, would they be in danger of drowning? I've lived here all my life and I honestly have no idea how deep the deepest part is.

Maybe 2 feet if it's full. This time of year I think they keep the level even lower. It's possible that it's completely frozen through.
Granted, I don't know how far a person would sink into the ooze on the bottom so guessing an adult might end up in to their thighs and it could take a crane to get u out of the muck!
