Its fucking astonishing to me that there's probably over a billion people on earth who literally can't swim 3 feet to save their life. I know two people who can't swim, and it's nerve wreaking to me that them jumping/falling into some still water is much more likely to kill then than if they fell of a 40 foot cliff. Not knowing how to swim is like being surrounded by death traps on a day to day basis.

I've seen A LOT of people drown for my 10+ years of watching people die online. I'd say at least 50% of the vids, people drown within 5 feet of land.

Here's is probably one of the most frustrating drownings i have seen the first guy who can't swim luckily manages to cling to the piece of drift wood he is risking his life for. Then for seemingly no fucking reason, he let's go. He's trying to grab it again, it's an inch or so away from his fingertips, yet he couldn't manage to close the miniscule distance. Someone jumps in to save him, and the guy pulls his savior underwater killing them both. Fun fact, some dummy retrieved the piece of driftwood the men died over and thought it'd be helpful to the families to make it a permanent public memorial to honor the memories of the two dead men. His efforts made it on the news. It never went into fruition, probably because rather than the driftwood display be a reminder of the dead mens legacies, it'd probably be a seen as much better reminder that those men died over a piece of drift wood.

I'm one of those billion who simply cannot swim. Taken plenty of courses, survived an attempted drowning, been beat over not being able to, spent a summer at the Mississippi River on a boat… yet I still don't know how and I'm now in my late 20s. My body is small and refuses to float the way is needed, and my brain refuses to cooperate whenever I attempt to manage my breathing in the water. I doubt that it's something I will ever be able to overcome during this lifetime.

I am a skinny guy who struggles to float but I was snorkeling around in the ocean last summer with ease. I was very surprised, turns out saltwater is easier to float in. Hopefully that eases your mind if you are ever at sea.

The US Navy has special courses to teach recruits how to swim if they don't already. An amazing number can't swim.

those men died over a piece of drift wood

So that was the reason the first retard jumped in? because of some FUCKING wood?

Honestly? i only feel bad for the guy that jumped in to save the useless waste of human resources that was the black guy, like legit the only good thing about all of this is tha he won't be using oxygen no more.

From what I remember, he was a carpenter/artist who was gonna use it for a piece.
