HTHM Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Borrowed from another board: http://gcaptain.com/drowning/?10981 Well worth a look.
kickingfrog Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Good find. I think many of us take our, and others, safety on the water far to lightly.
Nipfisher Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Very good article. I was a lifeguard for about 5 years and pulled several people from the water. Lots of times the children were close enough to the wall to grab on but never even tried. Worst situations were when parents tried to catch kids at the bottom of the slide or when jumping in. If the child panics and starts pulling down the parent it gets ugly. Called the double clutch. There are stories of people biting fingers off of the the other person becaus they get their hands in the mouth and push down. If you can't swim well then stay where you can touch.
Jewelbee Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Very good article! Something we should all know.
