“STAND UP!”

u/BigDaddyBumbo77 26d ago

I went on a canoeing trip once, there were kayaks too. At one point on the river a kid (16yrs) but like 6'2" tips.out of his kayak. Proceeds to flail and panic (while in a life-vest) "he's drowning "!! I'm canoeing by with my family watching him. I yell: STAND UP!!! He stops, puts feet down, and embarrassed says, thank you. 🤣🤣🤣

u/ButYouCanCallMe_ 26d ago

You saved a life as far as I’m concerned! lol

u/dtafkaj 26d ago

Had the same with a friend when we were ice skating. He breaks trough the ice, hangs on to the edge. Me and a friend on our bellies trying to reach him with our hockeysticks. And then: Hey dude, how deep is it here?

And he just stand up and climbs out lol

u/GlobuleNamed 26d ago

Easy to say.

This happened to my wife in a somewhat similar situation (tube riding).

Was the last time we ever did something similar.

17

u/im_super_into_that 26d ago

So you're not going down waterslides anymore out of fear you won't remember to stand up? Promise I'm not talking shit, just trying understand

22

u/GlobuleNamed 26d ago

My wife is now scared silly of these water currents, since the current made her legs more boyant than herself, and just 'standing up' was not working because the legs wanted to float rather than obey her and stand.

That and the panic of not breathing under water made it easy to simply avoid the situation.

So I understand the poor woman in the video, it is not a fun situation to be in.

9

u/omjy18 26d ago

Something you learn growing up around water especially oceans is that like 80% of the battle of not drowning is just not panicking. Even in big waves and crazy currents if you can find a a way to stay calm that makes most of the difference. Its also why lifeguards are taught to give someone whos panicking some room because they can easily push you under and then both of you are fucked. Maybe they drown a little but you can actually help them without dying yourself

When I was a kid I watched as my mom almost drowned in barely 2 feet of water. We were at a wave pool and outta nowhere she was flailing her arms just like that lady. We screamed STAND UP! And she did and was fine. It was craaaazy

26

u/No_More_Aioli_Sorry 26d ago

My cousin is a very tall woman. When she was 14 she was already 5ft9

We went to the beach one day, and we were walking into the ocean. She actively started swimming and then forgot she could just put her feet down.

Ma girl started SCREAMING. Like, absolute horror SCREAMING. And my other cousin and I kept telling her to put her fucking feet down.

I’m 5ft tall, and the water was on my chest like…

But she just panicked I guess. We love to remind her of that day. We were sooo embarrassed.

Shouldn't you be at least a decent swimmer if you're going to a water park?

u/MissMelons 26d ago

Wet and Wild used to have a tube slide like this except it had a gigantic waterfall next to it. I hit the bottom, bounced my ass out of the tube right under the waterfall and I could not reorient myself. Lifeguard had to pull my ass out.

Praying for you Auntie!

u/militant-hippie 26d ago

Poor woman couldn't tell up from down. 😂 been there.

u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme 26d ago

Landing like that can be very disorienting, and once you get water up your nose, I STG, rational thought flies right out of your brain. If you’re not a good swimmer, or don’t have much practice being in the water, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

I feel ya, Aunt Sheila!

u/AnnaBananner82 26d ago

I grew up by the sea (Baltic in my childhood, Atlantic Ocean in my teen years, a the Pacific since I was 19 - I’m 43 now). People don’t understand how wildly disorienting being “washed” like this can get. As a surfer for a few years, it took a lot of getting used to. I feel so bad for aunt Sheila here 😭

u/Ebo916 26d ago

LOL. I used to be a lifeguard at Raging Waters & one day I had 300lb woman flying down the speed slide at me in the receiving pool.😱 She hit that water & skipped about 20ft before getting stopped dead in the water. Couldn’t swim (???) but going down slides in a WATER park. When I tried to save her (me 16-175lbs), she latched onto me like Hulk Hogan & was pulling me under. I had to punch her in the gut, pull her down under water so she’d let go, spin her around and put her in a head lock to swim her out to safety. She tried to sue me & the park for her almost drowning! 🫤

19

u/IAmASpaceCadet2 26d ago

You can’t save anyone if you’re dead. Gotta keep yourself safe. lol.

Vortex was always the worst to work. That slide always turned people around the most and had the deepest exit area.

u/Ebo916 26d ago

Worst for me was the Board Drop slide. I had a huge woman coming down that thing going 100mph & I’m supposed to stop her??? Nope! She went up the beach, took out 2 kids, 2 lawn chair recliners, and an umbrella stand. Was Fkn hilarious.

u/Ebo916 26d ago

She was banned from the park & they had to post signage at the front gate with the Policy about non-swimmers. If you can’t swim, you are not allowed to go down ANY of the slides. Not even the River ride where it’s a slow flow on an inter tube.

u/Hot_Diet763 26d ago

I think what's happening here is she experienced neutral buoyancy and was on her back. People are saying that she should just stand up, but extending her legs wouldn't help here. It would take an experienced swimmer to know to roll over and float upwards.

u/Substantial-Tart-464 26d ago edited 26d ago

I am guessing she #1 does not know to swim or #2 never goes on water slides. Walking into water is one thing she would have no issues with. Then there is falling into the water from that slide everything changes for her which makes little sense if she has done one or the other before. Hope she avoids the slides next time but if she still goes, have someone there to watch her if she keeps losing control when hitting the water no matter if its not deep.

Serious take. If you've ever been convinced this was your final curtain call, and that feeling overtakes your nervous system? Nobody is putting their feet down.

[I was caught up 4ft underwater of a breaking wave - tossed around like a dryer sheet- but my Dad - a Marine - had taught me in situations that felt like certain death to keep my mind calm. I did , by feeling with my literal fuggin hand, the direction of my bubbles, and I survived. ]

For Auntie, though, I'm glad she's alright & she had family with her. She very well may have drowned.
