Swimmer caught in the undertow current at 2011 at Cabo San Lucas

[@karinachavez2803]

People may laugh and joke but it’s actually really scary! It doesn’t seem like it’s that strong but it can turn into a dangerous situation very quickly

[@zeffery101]

nah fam, if you're fit and a good swimmer, its not scary. People need to respect the ocean, but not fear it. They need to take precautions and learn how to be safe without panicking. This video is just a fat woman constantly getting knocked over by strong waves. I've been in that for fun, its harsh and I got bruised up, but it was fun. When I wanted to get out, I just got up and ran. Its not hard, some people just need to know their limits.

[@Eric_the_miserable_midget]

Yeah real scary, there are drunk guys standing and partying around her,

[@raylynnbaker]

I agree it's not funny at all! I got caught in one and almost drowned, and it wasn't on purpose! I was just buggie boarding and a wave took me under, it almost took me 3 whole minutes to get out of it. And I'm what people consider "fit" and I've been swimming since i was 3. It's not your size or weight that determines is you live in a rip, it's how much you are educated on riptides and how much swim experience you have.

[@raylynnbaker]

@@zeffery101 Really? No read my other comment on here.

[@oryxsolaris656]

@@zeffery101 I was at one point in the category of elite athlete and I'm still in above average shape and I almost got sucked out by the waves, no human is physically capable of out swimming wave action. The only thing that got me back to shore was the fact that the prevailing surf sent me to shore.

[@hilianamedina2803]

Glad she's ok but she had opportunities to run, it wasn't the water at this point it was her being out of shape.

you need to realize what currents and undertows and riptides are present. Being fit wont help you against what you dont understand. "Big lakes and oceans arent swimming pools" should be a sign on every beach.

[@rhabarbermarmalade]

Don't go to the beach and get drunk if you aren't an experienced swimmer (or at all tbh). Don't turn your back on the ocean. Don't stay in the shore break area if you aren't an experienced swimmer (safer to go out a few metres). Don't rely on other people as drunk as you to save you - get up on your feet and get out. Don't swim on an unpatrolled beach, and stay between the flags Know your physical limits

[@RobTheProspect]

So, she realizes she's in trouble, yells for help, but when she gets up, has zero sense of urgency or awareness to GTFO of there. Nice.

[@NinjaDag1]

That's when your too big and therefore too exhausted to think clearly. If she were fit, it probably wouldn't be a thing, because after a little peak you're still able to use your brain. She, on the other hand, is already putting all her attention on breathing, just to have her basic functions work.

She was drinking and (forgive me) out of athletic shape. All jokes aside, this is how people die. She had people to pull her out, but if she had wandered from the bar to that beach alone, as so many do, this would have had a different ending. Respect the ocean or it will put you in your place.

[@sketchalater4656]
