Signs Of Drowning & How To Help by mukina2: 10:17pm On Jun 22, 2013 |
Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing, and yelling that dramatic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for is rarely seen in real life.http://firstaid.about.com/od/drowing/ht/07_drowning.htm http://www.wikihow.com/Save-an-Active-Drowning-Victim http://mobile.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/family/2013/06/rescuing_drowning_children_how_to_know_when_someone_is_in_trouble_in_the.html 12 Likes |

This only applies to swimming pool or pools.. If na ocean or beach water, the only help I can render Is for God to accept the soul, since Dere is still hope for salvation before death. 2 Likes |

These signs can not be totally correct because I remember when something near drowning happened to me. I was in another world. |

A drowning man will take you down with him if you approach him from the front. 1995 I was playing with friends in Ipukulu branch of Amadi Creek when ma mate NGO started drowning after stepping across a dredged section of the river and being swept out by waves from a flying boat. I tried approach him from the back to put him in a half-nelson and swim us to land but somehow the ninja grabbed me in a state of panic and started using my body as leverage to keep his head above water. The net effect was me cycling my feet underwater with my head below water whilst he was climbed over me, enjoying the fresh air whilst I was the one now in trouble. Realising I was drowning, I started punching him and trying to throw him off me and subdue him. Just when ma energy was draining I managed to fling him off and grab hold of him from his back, quickly levered my arm under his armpit, put him in half-nelson and swam him to shore. Since that day, I promised to be extra careful when approaching any drowning person in the water. 13 Likes |

My son once left me in the children pool and dived into the adult pool. My dear, I followed him into the adult pool immediately, without thinking even though I can not swim myself. Instinct! Thank God, we both made it out. 2 Likes |

If the wil is there,any adult can actually help a drowning person. Instinct to save a loved one is powerful. Experience things. 1 Like |

Afrocatalyst: If the wil is there,any adult can actually help a drowning person. Instinct to save a loved one is powerful. Experience things.Such instinct can lead to the death of both persons.. People would just say dat na witches work.. Say na spell. You can't just jump into the water to save someone even if you can swim, the act of rescuing is totally different. 1 Like |

'I can't swim, i can't swim'. The write up is not only applicable to river (water) drowning. Of course, there are other types and forms of drowning too numerous to mention. There are spiritual drowning, educational drowning, relationship drowning, mental/intellectual drowning, to mention but a few. When a man sends his wife to Port Harcourt to be causing problem here and there, when he knows that his wife is handicapped with expressing herself in English language, is that not a political drowning. To the poster: Thanks so much for the write up. Reminds me of my friend that drowned in 2005. May your gentle soul rest in peace, genevieve. I love you so much, but God loves you more. *wipe tears from my eyes* I know you're waiting for me at the gates of Heaven. 3 Likes |

Ibime: A drowning man will take you down with him if you approach him from the front. I can imagine that already because i have been in a situation like yours before |

don't go near water if you can' swim,if one was in a ship or boat wreck,its a different thing. many have gotten drowned in our beaches in the guise of going to have fun at the beach. learn how to swim;apart from the exercise and fun;it is a life saving skill too. |
Re: Signs Of Drowning & How To Help by UyiIredia(m): 4:30am On Jun 23, 2013 |
