Shark bite photo was Australian Rodney Fox, badly bitten by a great white in the 60s during a spearfishing competition. Photos of the open wound are horrific. He went on to become a shark advocate, helped develop the shark cage, worked on the first Jaws movie, and ran a shark tourism company in Australia that still operates today. Last time I looked he was in his 80s and still living in Australia.

The baby floating in the pool has had ISR lessons(Infant Swim Rescue). I highly recommend parents look into them. They teach babies to float on their backs if they accidentally fall into a body of water, and as they get older, they learn to add on to their floating skills with swimming. They teach them to swim and go back into their float if they get tired. It’s amazing to see.

although i'd imagine part of the reason there are fewer drownings is because a lot of the people who were taught like this will grow up terrified of water. i was thrown into the deep end of a pool by a swimming instructor as a child and I've never been able to go near deep water without having a panic attack since. my mum was taught like this as a baby and she's also terrified of swimming. i understand the logic but surely people could just keep their young children away from pools and then teach them once they're old enough to verbalise their comfort level?

As a surfer I was always told that if you get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until you‘re out of the rip current, then swim back if you have energy Edit: As a surfer I was also taught that I can use rip currents to preserve energy. Instead of having to paddle out against the waves I could just take a rip current which pulls me out, then swim to the side to get out of it and surf back to shore. Advantage is that rip currents can be visible because the waves don‘t fully break over them (at least that‘s what I learned). Also the way those currents form is that it‘s the water flowing back out to sea through a channel between two sandbanks.

@franck3279 4 ай бұрын

Absolutelly. The rip tides come from normal waves that come easily over a small ridge but mostly escape through a weaker spot that rarely wider than a dozen meters. Trying to stay in is is by farthe worst idea, but always remember everyone lose 90% of their intelligence in immediate danger situation. Best case is that you already know what to do, seconfd best option is to force yourself to spend 1s looking around.

"I have also heard(never made further research to confirm or deny) that very young toddlers have the natural instinct to float on their back when put in water." I have also heard this and not done a deep dive of research into to confirm or deny, but I would imagine that even if babies (6+ months) and toddlers do have the instinct; they would not have the skills developed to utilize their instincts to the best ability. I could see that training/teaching a better way could increase the chance of survival if the baby fell into a body of water. And before someone says that babies are too young to learn, I mean I know some parents that were able to teach their babies limited sign language to communicate their needs and I also don't see the harm in helping the babies develop their muscles to use their instincts better if they have them.

Here in Germany new parents are very much encouraged to enroll their kids into baby swimming lessons. Every swimming center offers them. To minimize the amount of drowning deaths involving children and teenagers during summer months. Because at that age kids aren't very good at calculating risks and coupled with weak swimming ability it can lead to tragic results.

@technobrain666 4 ай бұрын

exactly! this is actually a common technique to teach babies and toddlers to save themselves from drowning and is teached by experts. the children are never in any danger as long as it's done with professionals and is very effective in preventing drowning accidents. drowning happens fast and quietly, it's often already too late as soon someone notices it, so the best way is to train and solidify the babies natural instinct of rolling on their backs when accidentally falling into the water. they need to do it instinctively when it catches them by suprise, which is why you see all those videos of adults pushing an unsuspecting and fully clothed child into a pool, so it can learn to react in a very realistic setting. catching the child by surprise is actually part of it, because this is how those accidents happen in reality.

@StormMackenzie 4 ай бұрын

@@antonnurwald5700they do have reflexes that help them, but I think it’s teaching them to pair those reflexes with cues, to be calm in those scenarios, and keeping those reflexes beyond when they’d normally fade out. My kids started lessons at 2mo, and it definitely helps. My 2.5mo can take a breath and hold it underwater, he could do that first try not training as it’s a reflex. But what we then teach is a cue (some places do 1,2,3, but we do a sharp intake of breath like a gasp). And after a couple weeks, if anyone gasps around the pool you see all these babies take a sharp breath ready to go under water 😂. My Bub the instant he was in the water knew how to back float and was doing it on his own by the second time in a pool. It’s natural for them. BUT it fades. My eldest stopped lessons due to Covid, and had to relearn everything. Whereas my 2yo didn’t, he went through a stage of hating back floating, but he still knows all that stuff, by 18mo could fall in a pool and turn himself back to the edge and pull himself up. I don’t actually have to be in a pool with him now, he’s 2yo. Obvs I still am but he can swim on his own well enough. It’s keeping the skills in practice so they don’t lose those reflexes.

As a certified pool operator, they should’ve immediately turned off the pumps and motors for that lazy River much faster than that. The way the drains work is the pump takes some water through pipes and into a pump room where it gets filtered and treated and then the new water automatically goes back into the pool. But when you turn the pump off it immediately releases the strong suction since it’s not sucking water anymore. So when the child got stuck the pool operator on duty should’ve immediately activated their EAP and turned the pump off. This would’ve saved them more time. That child is so lucky they did not lose their life because in extreme situations those drains would’ve torn him apart because of the strong suction.

That last one is valid proof that pools need emergency pump shut-off buttons similar to the buttons at gas pumps. Had there been one in an easy to spot location, he probably would not have been underwater for so long. Fun fact. Water rides at most theme parks have a reservoir and are higher than said reservoir. The purpose of the reservoir is to act as an emergency run off in the event of an emergency. If an employee pulls the E-Stop, all water pumps stop. Without the pumps to keep the water levels up on the ride, all of the water drains into the reservoir. This would allow for any guests that get stuck underwater to have a chance to survive.

Unless those girls were covered in the scent of something the python does eat (snakes are dumb, this is enough to make them think you're a different creature sometimes), and they don't threaten the python, they're gonna be perfectly fine. People think snakes are these cunning, deceitful monsters but in reality, they're socially anxious spaghetti that have no thoughts in their head.

Although this species HAS eaten people we certainly are not seen as a prey source to them. Its an incredibly rare case that's exaggerated to make people fear snakes more. We certainly aren't a prey source to them since snakes don't even like eating humans because we're oddly shaped and aren't easily swallowed. Im not saying it hasn't happened, because it has, BUT to say "Known to prey on humans" unnecessarily exaggerates it and makes them seem a lot more dangerous than they are. (Although this animal should still be approached with caution, like any other unfamiliar animal)

I used to teach baby swimming classes at the YMCA! It's a lot of fun and any parent who has the resources to do so should. The babies also have a blast and it's great social time for parents. Once the babies learn how to float, they are sat up on the edge of the pool at the end of class and encouraged to belly flop into the water towards their parents. Most of the babies think it's really fun and want to do it multiple times. Accidents happen. Better your baby falls into a pool under supervision and learning how to save themselves than them falling into the pool during a drunken family reunion.

Babyswimming is a common thing to do during maternity leave in Denmark. It's good for the child's physical development, and it's just a fun way for parent and child to interact. Of course you don't let go of the child for even a second, and it takes place in specially heated water to make sure the babies don't get cold. It results in many children being able to swim from a very early age.

4:03 I live at the beach, the reason rip currents are “deadly” is because people fight the current. They get exhausted and end up drowning, we actually had a 13 year old drown due to this yesterday. Don’t fight the current, swim to the side and get out of the current that way

In Florida, or at my school at least, it's taught to students in elementary school to always swim parallel, and is brought up multiple times throughout school about beach safety. I've been caught in rip currents before but thankfully I've been able to get myself back without the help of any life guards. Heck I didn't even realize I was in a rip current once until I realized my swimming wasn't working so I just stopped and floated on my back for a bit to get my energy back

1:40 Water is what we call an incompressible fluid, meaning it can't really be squeezed together like gases can. It'll begin to heat up and possibly cavitate, but it doesn't like being squeezed. So if it doesn't have time to move out of your way, it acts like a solid. That's why high dives, above 20 feet or so, can be fatal. If you hit wrong, you can shatter ribs, collapse lungs, and be knocked unconscious to drown.

I was diving at 30 feet in Key West. Three days straight four dives a day. Our dive master told us to get out of the water 20 minutes into our last dive. Thankfully, he had calculated our decompression times. Silly of me not to do it. Thanks, Mike!

@MrNicoJac 4 ай бұрын

There should be no reason to abort after just 20 minutes. (unless you ran out of oxygen, or there were dangers like currents or sharks, at least - or running out of daylight if you're not certified for night dives, or your boat needing to return to harbor, etc) Doing so many dives in such short succession, is not a decompression risk (especially if you only go to 30 ft max). You'd just need a lot more time waiting at 15-10 feet before completely concluding the dive (safety stop). Do you remember any other details? Your story makes me wanna refresh my PADI Advanced cuz it shouldn't have been needed 😅🤔

with regards to the burmese python, at work (reptile rescue & education) we consider them safe for children to handle if two experience adults are present & depending on the size of the child, one of the adults will support the weight of the snake. we don’t even handle them unless there are two adults present (including the handler). chances are it will be completely fine, and our burm is a right sweetie, but it is always possible that they get spooked especially around unpredictable children or children that don’t know how to properly interact with animals. putting them in a stressful environment like an enclosed pool with no easy exit in the video makes them more likely to act defensively, but if there are adults there then they would likely be able to get the snake off the kid

10:20 I have had chemical burn as a swimmer a few times, it usually affects the chest and lung aria. Chlorine needs to react with a liquid to create heat and that is most of the time in your lungs. It takes a lot normally to have this reaction and will result in you needing to take a few days away from the pool to heal. Btw something not known by all is if your pool does not have enough air flow you can crest a thin layer of chlorine gas on top of the pool which will irritate your lungs when breathed in.

Literally one of the things that is stressed the most when learning how to scuba dive through reputable dive schools, is that you absolutely cannot - under no circumstances - fly for a recommended time of 36-48 hours after diving, and the deeper you dive, the longer that time is. When I was getting my license, it was stressed to me so many times that even when underwater doing a dive my dive instructor and dive master quizzed me on it (using dive hand signals and extra ones he taught us before diving). I went on a scuba diving holiday, and our flight home was on the Monday, but the trip planners and the family I went with refused to let us dive after Friday to avoid this issue. Edit: I know the graphic put up says 12-24 hours, but we were told 36-48 to absolutely ensure without a doubt that this would not happen. The dive school I qualified with does the search and rescue where I live, and the whole crew collectively agreed that they would rather treat a shark bite or drowning than decompression sickness or a burst lung.

the best way to see rip currents (or at least what I've been told by lifeguards) is to see where waves form crossing patterns and if they are breaking at weird, usually diagonal, angles. There can also be water discoloration, but imo that's much harder to spot.
