The big thing they did here that helped was bring a floating object. That's extremely important to improve the survival outcomes of everyone involved. People often rush in without anything (understandable) but it's very common for the rescuer to drown.

Yes, it's one of the ways people actually told to getting drowning people to stop grabbing on to you is to dive down below. They don't want to be underwater so you dragging them down freaking out even more and they let go.

A few years ago in NY a couple of people got trapped in a weir and died. Then the professionally trained rescuers came in a boat to get the bodies, they got too close, capsized, and died too. The water doesn't give a fuck.

Truth is they never really did, but this might make it even less so.

The sixteen largest ships emit the same amount of CO2 as all the world’s cars.

It was quite traumatic watching her panic and basically try to drown my dad while he was trying to get them to swim into shore. She was kicking and flailing under water and hitting him because she was freaking out.

0/10 do not recommend

Because they need to collect evidence, what else would it be for?

Nearly the same except it was my oldest sister who was rescuing me... Right up until my panicking caused me to start choking her out, thus causing some random dude to help save both of us.

Also, my dad watched as I thought I was gonna drown in my neighborhood pool after my overconfident 6 year old ass jumped into the deep end. While he was probably slightly drunk, not much he could've done given he was disabled. When I climbed out of the pool, he just looked at me, smirked, and said "Bet you're not gonna try that again, huh?"

ETA: Should've pointed out, the reason he was smirking is because he realized I (probably) be all right for the same reason I figured out a couple weeks later: I was over 4' tall while the pool was only 5' deep, so I could stand flat footed in the deep end and have most my forearm above water. Dad saw in my panic was bouncing to safety.

It’s true. I was the undertow.

> Weight loss starts in the kitchen. Fitness is a different issue, although related.

Totally disagree. Nutrition and your diet have everything to do with your overall fitness level not just some related piece. This is why so many yo yo over and over and over again. They never figure out their eating.

The kids or the Turtles?

You know it really is them because they're always watching over the OP.

>many disabilities are permanent. and the healthy thing you can do is accept.

Still, given the opportunity they would rather not be disabled. That's the difference. Accepting their disability is one thing. Taking pride in it, or wanting to be identified as their disability is another. The latter, I would say, is rather rare.

​

>having representation of disabled people will make them more visible and
encourage more accessible infrastructure and actually making disabled
people less disabled.

That's not quite true. Representation generally makes people more visible to the common person. The common person who is not in charge of deciding how the infrastructure is designed. That would be lawmakers. And the eye of the law neither ignores disabled people (there are tons of regulations about accessibility for building infrastructure), nor would it care about scoliosis Barbie. You're reading a bit too much into this.

Not eat a bunch of shit. Re-educate yourself on nutrition.

People hating on that comment that getting in better shape starts in kitchen is hilarious to me. Upset the eaters I guess. Each their own

Did they kill that fucking clown at least?

> They told us to leave them and go back to shore while they were basically drowning.

Jesus christ

If this doll seems helpful to you that's your prerogative. Strikes me and as you can see in the comments some others as something else. As to your insult that I have a miserable life; As you might say, whatfuckingever. 🙄

I’m currently going through this course now. Yesterday we did panicked diver rescue skills, in which we were instructed to dive beneath them, surface behind them, and straddle their tank with our knees while we inflate their BCD and then ours. We haven’t gone over rescuing a non-diver yet, but I think that the going under / resurfacing behind them would be a good way to avoid them hanging on to you and would make it easier to knock them out if necessary.

Aren’t maritime emissions a drop in the ocean when compared to basically every other form of transit?

Was there a fat kid who got bullied into dancing for them?

Witnesses say they were rescued by 4 anthropomorphic turtles who provided them with pizza.

What can ya say your such a motivating person I’d run through a brick wall for you coach

The pair on the left are the ones depicting them in the docu-drama, the pair on the right are the real people involved. /s
