Woman falls into koi pond and drowns

How?! It's not like it was a river. It's still standing water and safety is only one arm reach away. Just do anything to move in any direction. You probably could have farted yourself to safety. Holy shit.

i could never figure out how people who don't know how to swim drown. watching this, i think it's because they think the way to get above water is to use their hands to push down on the water and themselves up. so, she's just using her hands, slapping down on the water. When she wears-out her arm, she resorts to using feet by, you guessed it, lifting them legs above water and kicking down in panic.

how do functional people survive in a deep pond? we gently kick out little feet to propel ourselves above water, and use our hands simple to maintain a vertical position, keeping our head above water. most people can easily do that for a long long time.

if i change my gender, i can be a swimming superstar!

Why would you be anywhere near water if you can’t swim? And why would you be a whole ass adult and not know how to swim?

Nearly started drowning in a 2m deep swimming pool as a kid. Still remember the panic mounting as I realised all my desperate thrashing was only pushing me further below the surface. These videos always give me an extra chill.

Thank fuck I realised I could sink until my toes touched the floor, the kick off with all my might to repeatedly propel myself to the surface for air. Every time I pushed up, I moved forward a little bit, so I kept doing that as I slowly edged towards the pool side.

Here’s the kicker though, a lifeguard walked past and looked right at me when I was still near the middle of the pool. Each time I broke the surface I’d try to say “help” but I really only had time to say “heb” before I sank again. She had no fucking idea I was struggling, and smiled and waved at me on her way by. Made it to the side of the pool with seconds to spare and a healthy fear of drowning.

She didn't need to know how to swim to at least grab and hold onto the pond ledge. Looks like a good ol' Darwin award.

Ive never seen someone who understands the concept of swimming that well, yet cant fucking swim.

how can you drown when u are like 10 cm away from a grabbable edge wtf

Ok, this was just ridiculous

Koi Pond?

Is this video really from japan?

if it is, the woman must be mentally handicapped or something? Swimming is compulsory from elementary school in japan and the way she struggle looks like she'd even never gone to elementary school

lmao she doesn't even try to move. There was literally something to grab onto within arm's reach.

pretty sure schools should teach kids how to swim, u learn so quick as a kid and ull never forget it. i think it took like less than a class for me to learn how to just float. its super easy, but i guess its more important to teach kids about LGBP stuff

Maybe caught on something under the water if not wtf.

It’s some mental disconnect with people and water. Nobody taught me how to swim I just knew how. A lot of people I know took lessons tho and i don’t get what the mental block is unless it’s just fear.

What a spastic

You’re kidding me… what the actual fk

like wtf whats so hard just turning on your back and floating on it. Also how can you drown in something where you can u drown in a water thats not even 1.5meters deep?

Drownings are tough to watch man.

Dumb bitch literally was pushing herself downwards with her arms wtf??

Man I swam out at the lake one time barely made it back exhausted, my gut said I’m gonna drown but I calmed my mind got on my back & back stroked & gently kicked back to shore.

Did she manage to kill two of the fish too?

I'll never understand how people who can't swim can be so careless around water.

my ninna cant swim, has no clue how to, and would 100% fail like this if she fell in any water, no matter how hard she tried. some people just cant move around in water, sadly...

OK, but who tf has a moat in this day and age? Why have a 10ft deep pond, are you trying to protect against vikings?

Dam bitch stand up!

Forget all the talk of flipping, kicking and farting your way to safety - just hold your breath for a few seconds to establish a float, keep your head above water by looking up and gently maneuver yourself to safety! Lol. So simple. It’s the panic that gets people though. Praise be to the lord I grew up swimming!

jeez, he's still kicking 2 minutes in. so eerie to watch

Wtf how pathetic. No will to live. Like someone else said, she could have farted her way to safety

it bothers me that she didnt even think to basically reverse what she did and what i mean by that is how she rowed herself backwards. if you watch her she swings her arms back behind her and then pull them back to her side and repeats that a few times, creating a rowing motion, causing her to push herself further to the middle. if she had though for a second she couldve easily turned her back to where she fell, lie back and row herself over there. if not that she couldve maybe idk tiptoed her way off the rocks on the bottom of the pond..

Yo why don't they just fucking put out a TV and that's like 20 seconds long and Taches you how to tread water and how to deadman float. Because that's literally how easy and quick is would be to teach that, fuck bro I learned how to tread water by a guy saying "look under the water at my legs, just do that" and I just did it and its fucking easy. Holy shit people who drown are fucking retarded.

How do you not know how to swim? Holy shit. Even I’ve known how since the age of four

Michael Scott?

You gotta be retarded to not know how to swim, dogs can swim wtf lol

That almost looked like suicide lol

survival of the fishest ig

Hey mate , we have a new friend she's a red giant fish

The gene pool is a little cleaner now, yall. Stupidity kills.

Fucking idiots man

Even if you don't work around water for a living, just learn to swim!

(Fun fact: we're the only mammals that don't swim without learning how.)

Bad time to try to learn swimming

Useless bitch

“I’ll be right back. I’m going to sweep….and feed the fish”.

I think it's a good time for advertising:

you can drown in a bucket, given the right circumstances.

don't go knocking these poor bastards for "drowning too easily"

That fucking bitch killed the fishes

Absolutely trampled on their existence in order to preserve her own useless life, to no avail

Even though I'm sure I probably would've done the same in a panic since I also don't know how to swim

Still, it bugs me how she gripped that one and just slammed it back down like that after her brain registered that it wasn't something that she could use to pull herself up from

Toddlers swim better than that. How are we living in 2023 and ppl still dont understand the SIMPLE concept of treading water? I mean come on! Fucking fool.
