Default Werid physics question

There is a pit full of those little red straws people use to stir coffee,like these:


Let's say the pit is very deep, like 100ft, so you can't get anywhere near the bottomw without being pretty effed. The walls are made of teflon, so trying to grab them is useless.

Let's say you are thrown into/jump into this pit from 10 ft. above the level of the straws. What would happen?

Would you sink? Could you doggy paddle/swim? Would it support your body weight enough to not make you fall in at all?


I had a dream about this last night and I don't remember what happened after I jumped in, but I'd really like to know. Thanks.
