I really don’t want to take this seriously. Do drowning people pounce and call for help? Maybe, but not very often.
I also nearly drowned twice before I learned to swim. Once when I was 6 years old and fell headfirst into a water tank. The other was when I fell into a well underwater when I was 11 years old playing in the shallow end of a pond.
Why is it hard to swim? One is that the human respiratory system is very afraid of water, and the choking reaction after choking on water causes a person to inhale more water, and the rapid laryngeal spasm makes it impossible to breathe or call for help. The rapid lack of oxygen to the brain leads to decreased judgment and limb control. This condition is exacerbated if the water temperature is low.
The buoyancy of the water is both the key to swimming and the biggest obstacle for beginning swimmers. This is because the sense of balance on land is completely disrupted in the water. An important skill for beginner swimmers is floating, such as floating face down with the air closed, and once mastered, the next challenge is to move from floating to a standing position with the head and feet down. Most beginners can’t do this simple movement. So it is common to see people drowning in waist-deep water. Conspiracy theorists will say, “How can someone drown in such shallow water? Can’t you just stand up? The truth is that many people can’t stand up.
Another difficulty is that water is a fluid. To learn to swim is to learn how to work with water, and the more you try to grab it, the less you can. A drowning person will try to reach out and grab something, but most of the time they won’t be able to grab anything. Reaching out and pouncing on the water? People who think this way have not only never seen a drowning scene, they probably can’t even swim. As soon as the hands are out of the water, the buoyancy of the body is reduced and the body will sink, while at the same time the body will rotate. You have to be a good swimmer to do that kind of splash on the surface of the water, Phelps’s vertical butterfly leg exercise, you can wonder if you can do it.
Drowning is one of the most common causes of death among humans, especially young people, and preventing drowning is a systematic project that requires the participation of the whole society. From improving the swimming ability of all the people, to increasing the anti-drowning facilities at the water’s edge in scenic areas, to having enough qualified lifeguards, to improving the drowning rescue ability of all the people.
Maggots, on the other hand, only want to swim in the cesspool.
