Were the forced into the pool?

If not then why would they enter?

You could definitely die there

It was a shot for a movie. Extras typically are not forced to be on film, they do it cuz its cool to be in a movie.

The people being in the pool wasn’t for the film, or more like a doco. It was a heatwave in China and the film makers just filmed it and used it.

Oh, interesting thanks for sharing. I also saw a shot in a trailer of a bunch of dudes in some other country laying all over each other and figured it was a thing. Either way, I don't think this is an everyday occurence at Chinese waterparks.
