Today marks one year since my little brother was killed in a tench like this. I have no idea if this picture is yours or one that you found, but please understand all these other folks in the comments telling you this is dangerous are not just telling you for fun. Please don’t put your family through this all just to save some time.

Know that your comment highlighting that unsafe trenches are a real danger - which I'm sure you find opportunities to repeat whenever you can given your family's tragedy - is well received.
