S/O drowning *warning* might be hard to watch.

I know y'all were talking about secondary drownings, but do you really know what an actual drowning looks like? Warning: this does contain footage of an actual drowning.

I didn't watch the video, but why in the hell would I want to watch a video like that?!?!?!

@cl8badb I didn't watch the whole video because it kept freezing on my phone, but that's good to know. @kelly422 the reason I posted it is because drowning isn't like they show in the movies and people need to know what to look for. Guess I'll go back to lurking.

Very eye opening. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, @Bleachy14‌. That was exactly my point. Who are you @Clearskies77‌ for assuming you know what I think is important or not?! Did I ever once say "preventing drowning isn't important". Seriously?!?!

AND you don't know what I've seen in the ICUs. I've taken care of kids who were being kept alive by ventilators from drowning accidents. I've watched parents make the heart wrenching decision to take them off life support. So for you to say I don't think education is important seriously pisses me off.

No need to go back to lurking. This is definitely eye opening, and I learned what to look for now, if this ever happened. We're going to Sesame Place this weekend, so this will come in handy. DH had a childhood friend die from drowning, when he was 11. No one knew he drowned, no one heard anything. He had an underlying heart condition, and ended up drowning from his distress. We always like to think we're prepared, because we knew someone, but to see it fake "actually" happen, makes me feel a lot more aware and prepared. Thank you! You might of ended up saving someones life.
