go underwater can’t breathe die that’s
drowning basically but a lot of people
don’t realize that there’s actually more
to it than that
welcome to watchmojo.com meant we’re
counting down the scariest and most
surprising facts about drowning
number five salt water and fresh water
kill you differently well there’s some
debate among biologists the effects of
fresh water versus salt water drowning
is drowning right wrong so pay attention
90% of all drownings occur in freshwater
and there are very good scientific
reasons for that first swimming pools
are considered freshwater so there’s a
big chunk of them right there secondly
fresh water kills you faster than
saltwater when you inhale fresh water it
seeps into your bloodstream were dilutes
your plasma causing red blood cells to
burst leading to massive organ failure
saltwater has the opposite effect
thickening your blood so your lungs
quickly fill up with plasma eventually
drowning you in your own liquids in the
end saltwater will stop your heart in
about eight to ten minutes while
freshwater will do it in about two to
three minutes number four it’s a leading
cause of unintentional injury death in
children I was mad because I was like
how did this happen who was watching him
why was my son underwater for you know
nearly three minutes well you wouldn’t
think of it as such
water is actually extremely dangerous
and often due to neglect or carelessness
drowning has become one of the leading
causes of unintentional injury death
throughout the world
drowning accounts for 7% of all injury
related deaths roughly 370 to thousand
deaths per year according to the World
Health Organization that means over a
thousand people per day die from
drowning in the US it is the second
leading cause of accidental death and
children under 14 right behind traffic
accidents while in China it is by far
the most common cause to swim save kids
to always swim with a partner in a group
of two or more every time if one person
gets into trouble it’s best to have a
buddy nearby who can call for help
number 3 drowning was once considered a
classy form of execution
yeah believe it or not drowning was once
considered a peaceful execution the
practice was prevalent in Middle Ages
Europe and was often reserved for women
or gentlemen who supposedly deserved a
more noble or at least more gentle death
this practice ended in the 17th century
but not before some pretty infamous
witch trials in Europe and New England
women accused of being witches would be
bound and thrown into water on the
belief that witches would Bob to the
surface while humans would sink while
they did try pulling the sinking women
out it would often result in them
drowning anyhow judge not lest ye be
judged
the Bible says a lot of things shiver
number two it’s possible to drown
without even being in water be kidding
me as if drowning wasn’t terrifying
enough it is entirely possible to drown
while in the middle of the Sahara well
if you took a swim in some oasis or
something dry or secondary drowning
happens long after you leave the water
sometimes even hours later breathe yes
I’m I’m a bit nervous myself in dry
drowning breathing in water causes your
vocal cords to spasm closing up your
throat and blocking your Airways
secondary drowning is when a small
amount of water reaches the lungs
causing it to build into a condition
called pulmonary edema resulting in
extreme difficulty breathing hey is your
brother okay
what guys fine number one drowning does
not look like a does in the movies
we all know the signs of drowning right
screaming thrashing around water flying
everywhere well nope drowning is
actually a deceptively quiet event and
often looks like a person floating up
right in the water with their arms out
laterally as they try to keep their
heads above water or person trying to
swim in one direction but getting
nowhere another way to tell is if
they’re desperately trying to roll onto
their backs in order to breathe and
there’s no screaming as drowning
involves one’s mouth being completely
underwater if you can scream you can
breathe one tip is to ask if they’re all
right and if there’s no answer you may
have only thirty Seconds to get to them
what happen you almost drowned Denise
just gave you mouth-to-mouth to save you
so what’s the closest you’ve ever come
to drowning I never would have thought
of that for more screaming and flailing
top-10s and deceptively quiet top fives
