I have trouble understanding how an 8 feet drop into water would cause that kind of damage.
Do you not understand the undertow on the backside of a weir? It sucks you down and will drown you.

My dad grew up across from a low-head dam in Western PA.

Had no clue about these dams.
If you have no life jacket, you’re screwed.
If you have a life jacket you’re probably not buoyant enough to float but just too buoyant to use the “escape route” of crawling along the bottom to safety- also screwed.

You'd think the fact people were calling it a "drowning machine" would lead tubers to avoid the dam and prevented this.
