How to actually look like a drowning man
This knowledge could save a lot of zhizney
On TV or in the movies, we often see a rolling - is almost always the victim begins to dabble in television and call for help. Because of this incorrect description, we run the risk of not even notice that the person next to us will sink.
Of course, this does not mean that if a man waving his hands in the water, splashing raises and calls for help, it does not need saving - on the contrary, it just shows that helping him very much needed. But at this moment he is in fact, did not sink, and there is still enough time to have time to save him.
Man, that really sinks will behave according to the so-called instinctive reaction drowning. Such behavior has been described by Dr. Francesco Pia and air lifeguard Mario Vuitton in the Official Journal of the US Coast Guard.
When a person drowns, his mouth and nose dive into the water - because of this, it gets less and less oxygen, he can breathe only if the head is above the water. The need for air instinctively become more important than the desire to call for help, so that everything that can make a drowning man when his head above water seems - a breath.
Waving his hands, he also will not be - hands are too busy trying to somehow keep his mouth above the water. Most drowning subconsciously put pressure on the water, as if trying to find support or climb an invisible ladder. The person will remain in an upright position with his head tilted back. Use the legs to climb to the surface of the water, drowning, most likely, will not.
Inexperienced observer would think that a sports swimmer in the water, but if a person behaves in a similar way, most of all, he is about to drown. As soon as it started, the victim is, from 20 seconds to a minute before going to the bottom. It is very likely that a person will die if aid does not come in time.
