What situations are likely to lead to drowning?

① If you do not understand the properties of water and lack a correct estimate of your own physical strength and swimming ability, entering the water may lead to drowning.

② Even people who are accustomed to water may suffer underwater injuries due to insufficient preparation for activities, sudden cold water stimulation after entering the water, or swimming for too long, excessive loss of carbon dioxide in the body, etc. Spasms and twitches of the limbs occur, resulting in loss of autonomy and sinking.

③ If you have a weak sense of safety, when swimming in non-open waters, your limbs may become entangled in aquatic plants on the bottom of the water and cause you to sink, or you may get stuck in the sand and lose control.

④ Playing and fighting with each other in the water, panicking after an accident, leading to drowning.

⑤ People with poor health, heart disease, anemia, epilepsy and other chronic diseases may relapse due to the stimulation of cold water during swimming, leading to drowning.
