The general gist of the article is that drowning victims often do not look like they are drowning, and therefore nobody jumps in to rescue them until it is too late. A couple of noteworthy quotes from the article:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing, and yelling that dramatic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for is rarely seen in real life.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>To get an idea of just how quiet and undramatic from the surface drowning can be, consider this: It is the No. 2 cause of accidental death in children, ages 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents)\u2014of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult.\u00a0According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Drowning people cannot wave for help.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>This doesn\u2019t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn\u2019t in real trouble\u2014they are experiencing aquatic distress.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don\u2019t look like they\u2019re drowning.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Take a few minutes and read the article for yourself \u2013 you\u2019ll be glad that you did. And just a reminder: think twice before you ask someone else to watch your child for a couple of minutes at the neighborhood pool or at a backyard pool party. Even the most responsible adults are susceptible to getting wrapped up in a conversation, or to tending to the needs of their own children. Take your child with you if you need to leave the pool area for a couple of minutes, or hire a mothers\u2019 helper who will be with your child at all times.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Holy Mary, Queen of Angels, pray for us!<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished reading an article entitled \u201cDrowning Doesn\u2019t Look Like Drowning,\u201d by Mario Vittone, and feel that it was filled with a lot of relevant and potentially life-saving information.
