A woman joins a contest to win a Wii for her three children. The rules are simple: drink as much water as you can, without taking a bathroom break. However, the contest was flawed, and caused 10 people to lose their jobs, along with her life. How could water be toxic, or even dangerous? Isn’t drinking water a good thing? What about sports drinks? Let’s get into it.

The main problem is that most people are unaware that the overconsumption of water does have negative effects, which is usually not taken into consideration because it's generally assumed that it's the best thing you can drink, especially since so much of our bodies are made of water.

I suppose this story was bound to land here eventually. I still remember when it happened. Tragic and completely preventable.

I heard about this case- didn't know the radio hosts were so utterly negligent and ignorant about the risks.

This story is heartbreaking

[@SmokeyChipOatley]

I don’t know why but this story always illicits a strong involuntary feeling of dread and anxiety from me. I’m not implying that I’m somehow mentally channeling similar effects of water intoxication through osmosis (terrible pun not intended). This story is just tragic. I can’t imagine how her family must have felt, how SHE must have felt in the hours leading up to her untimely passing. Wanting to do something difficult and painful in order to bring a smile to her kids’ faces, not knowing the gravity of her mistake (the radio station’s mistake) until it was too late. I don’t blame her in the least bit though. It was 100% the responsibility of the radio station. They should have been made aware of the risks and canned it before they ever promoted it. No game system is worth dying over.

I wish her family had sued the station AND the radio hosts. What's amazing is that when the NURSE called in and warned them of water intoxication. They actually replied "It's okay, they signed a waver!!!" They were actually so narcissistic that they they thought the caller was calling out of concern for the radio hosts!! That's like them holding a contest where they have inexperienced contestants handling deadly snakes, and a pro snake handler calls in to warn them, and a radio host says "It's okay, all of the DJ's are behind a protective glass. WE are safe."😳

[@AshleyKristineTV]

[@Aisha-721]

I've heard of water 💦 intoxication. I went to a mental health center that had groups for different reasons. A couple other clients there told me that they went to a water 💦 intoxication group there. I even remember one of them used to visit me and ask for so much ice tea that I made a gallon of ice tea and kept it in my refrigerator so I didn't have to jump up and down to make him tea.

[@AtarahDerek]

Going into the video: Hmm, hyper-hydration or ruptured bladder? Let's spin the wheel of horrifying things excessive hydroxic acid can do to a body! After video: The radio hosts should've faced criminal charges in addition to the wrongful death suit. They straight up lied *to a medical professional* about informing the contestants of the risks. They should've been charged with one count of criminal endangerment for each survivor, and one count of criminal negligent homicide.

[@alkaholic4848]

Absolutely. It would still be negligent even if people weren't phoning in warning them, but the fact that they clearly were yet they just dismissed it should make it a clear cut case, no excuse for it.

[@mscaligurl76]

Our local high school lost a football player to water intoxication in 2015. It was extremely sad because he thought he was being healthy and staying hydrated during and after practice. The player was the one in the video. I hadn't gotten that far yet. 😮🕊💔

I always wondered how exactly how this happens. Back then in the radio they mentioned that it was "just" an electrolyte loss, but it was never explained in any manner, thx for making this video.

[@1998LeonSKennedy]

I once heard a case in a hospital that a woman had arrhythmias and tachycardia. The only background was that she was doing a "Water diet" to lose weight. She said she drank like 20 litters of water the last day. This time the greatest problem wasn't the loss of Sodium, but instead of Potassium, which lead to many cardiac problems. Luckily this situation had a good ending, stabilizing her ions and everything ended up alright.

[@Aderin.]

When I drink a lot of water, like during a hike, I start to get funny feeling in my stomach and a disgust for water. I hope it's not a symptom of something else I overlooked, but I'm glad that I'm dissuaded by my own body to drink too much water.

Its just water bloat my guy, same reason why she looked pregnant. Its pushing the edges of your stomach which makes a funny disgusting weighted down and boggy feeling. Shake your stomach well like that and you can feel the water sway

I really REEEAAALLY hope that radio station and those employees running it got into legal trouble and even criminally charged. I cannot BELIEVE the absolute flippancy of those djs when even being called my nurses to warn them. The didn't care!!!! Psychopathic. Disgusting. They should be charged with manslaughter AT LEAST. because even tho they signed a waiver, there were professionals calling them out for even allowing this competition. They endangered the public. There's a loophole here somewhere to get them. There's gotta be.
