In case it's not clear enough, I just wanted to help the guy with his jump. I never thought it was this difficult to take someone out of the water. Never try this at home please.

same thing happened to me twenty years ago, in my case it was a classmate of mine. In panic he even blocked by eyes & nose to push himself up. I had to go down find the floor, and kick both of us up, as I had lost momentum & sense of direction with his palm covering my face.

[@Codetutor-DemystifyCoding]

One of the first wisdom words that my father told me as soon as I learnt swimming is. No matter how confident you feel about your swimming, Don't get into unknown and unfamiliar water bodies and be extremely wary of getting into water to save some one, especially when other person is a not a swimmer. Non swimmers typically panic very easily in water and in the desperation will hold on to rescuer very tightly, making it impossible for the rescuer to swim and manuver. You need to extreamly good swimmer if you intend to rescue a non-swimmer or for that matter any drowning person. I am just glad that both you learnt your lesson without any loss of life or limb.

Atleast the drowning guy had the guts to dive into the water. As per me that's something commendable. I could never imagine myself jumping into deep waters when I didn't know how to swim. To be honest it was Bernado's mistake, being a swimmer he could not acess the risk he was about to take. It's obvious that a drowning guy will panic and will take hold of any support he gets. I would rather call your comment as ' Chutiyapa '.

[@lakshyasehgal4097]

@@saurabh7609 I can barely swim but have attempted such dives so many times. Everytime there is some random person to hold me and take me to shallow depths but luckily such things have never happened to me probably because the person who has to hold me is always experienced and knows how to do this. You are right that it was the mistake of the vlogger he shouldn't have agreed to this as he had no idea of handling it.

It's amazing how stupid non-swimmers will be when they see swimmers playing in water. People worry about what will kill them as tourists in Australia, and I tell them that their greatest danger is drowning! So many tourists from India and Asia cannot swim. They have no idea how easily they can lose their footing and/or be dragged under, even in waist-deep water.

[@hnah8680]

Oh. Thanks for this, will take care of it.

[@beaksofeagles]

In Australia we learn to swim from a young age, and are taught about how a drowning person will pull you under. They have no control over their panic. Years ago we were taught to knock a person unconscious before attempting to pull them ashore!!! Now we are just taught to approach from behind, and only as a last resort. Flotation objects, even a stick, should be used first.

[@killyourego1983]

yeah man I am a lifeguard , we been told crazy shit as you said : knocking etc - conscious person always only with flopy, or even clothes direct body to body imposible couse they will take you down with you with panic - we been told that if this happen if they hug you let them sink down with you and than underwatter try to escape and work on it . Its crazy. Enjoy OZ hope you surf haha muh love

[@zPyrul]

One of the first lessons you learn, when becoming a life guard is to never approach a person, who is in panic, upfront, because they will do what ever it takes to stay above water in panic

the same thing happened with me, due to peer pressure my friend came into the deep side of the lake and he started drowning. now i was confident in my swimming abilities n swam immediately near him only to realize its almost impossible to save someone without prior experience the scariest part is he started pushing my head down inside the water so he could breathe. so that day we both could have died if some adult hadn't come who put my friend on his back and swam to safety. btw love from india!

One of our friends who actually know swimming made a dive like that and when he got deeper he couldn't swim out because he was out of breath So the moment before he passing out he saw one of my other friends leg and grabbed it and hold onto it like you described The other guy freaked the F out because he is the cautious one who didn't dive because he knows his swimming isn't that great After like half a minute of struggle other friends who noticed the sudden drowning and struggle managed to pulled out both of them out When he got out he beat the c out of the diver Friend who lied there smiling that he lived to see another day

Once me and couple of my friends went for a random trip to Alibaugh in Maharashtra. When we just reached one of the nearby places called Kashid, We decided to halt at Kashid beach for sometime. Suddenly a crowd gathered at the beach. When i went a little closer to have a look, There were around 6-7 dead bodies which were washed ashore. These guys were from some village, Who had jumped in the water and had apparently never seen a sea before. It was such a sad day that day. You should always respect water body, No matter what. That's what my father taught me.

When you can’t swim you think that any swimmer could magically save you. I know because I thought the same when I couldn’t swim 😂

[@sbtopzzzlg7098]

You had to deal with it... Because you were capable of getting over it. 💙

[@mirrorflame1988]

Yeah sadly, many times people drown when trying to save others who are drowning due to a variety of reasons: the other person is struggling too hard and taking you with them, they faint and you have to swim with deadweight now which is much harder than people think, your stamina runs out, your feet gets tangled by seaweeds, etc. So please be careful. Amateurs saving people should always take a rope/stick/tied clothes with them so that others can pull them out and provide assistance incase something happens. Its good to help but better to do it carefully! Stay safe!! Live well!!

I had also made the same mistake. I didn't know how to swim, but on my friends call I jumped from the height of 8-10 meters. They (6-7) were ready in the water, to save me. When i jumped i directly went to bottom 15 feet down. And then water automatically pushed me up. And there my one friend grabs me. And i noticed there, all were searching for me into waters, fearing that, i have drowned

I never knew the risk of saving a drowning person until reading these comments. I almost drowned a long time ago and this lady saved me. I remember feeling someone grab my hands and calm me down. After that, I was so scared I couldn't move my legs to put them down after reaching shallow water. I mean to be fair I was like 7, a third of her size, so I didn't really pose as much of a threat.

[@yunaakemi8142]

"learn from your mistakes" that was my favourite quote.

[@JenniferGlee2014]

I have to say that the PTSD from a near-death experience in the water is overwhelming. When I was urged to try to walk through a running torrent of water only 10 or 12 feet across but 5 feet deep, by my boyfriend at that time, AT NIGHT, with a helmet with a light, huge boulders sticking out above the water to inevitably knock me unconscious, and my being carried down almost like a leaf, if he hadn't been strong enough to plant his feet and like throw me across, it would have been my life, not his. We made it, but I remember that all the PTSD from all the other events in my life rendered me unable to speak for a long while the rest of the night as we were at a party with others who had no idea what we went through. Even if you can swim, the water in Nature is very clear and unrelenting, Praise all the gods the other people saw what was going on and helped!! But I get it, and I love the water, but I'm so careful now. Jaya Ganesha you were with others!!!

It's his accent. In Portuguese, the "h" at the beginning of a word is always preceding a vowel, and it has no phonetic value. Therefore, the sound comes from that vowel, and not from the "h". It is still used in Portuguese from Portugal due to etymologic reasons, since the "h" was present in the original word in latin ;)

Damn, I'm glad you're okay. This is unfortunately a common occurrence. People who are drowning go into survival mode and will oftentimes tragically drown the very people who are trying to save them. I think life guards are taught to approach drowning people from behind for this very reason, and if they still somehow latch onto you, swimming downwards will usually make them let go. If they still don't let go or if you're unable to do that for some reason, use any force necessary to stun them for long enough to get away.
