There is an old saying in the countryside, "Don't get off the bridge when taking a bath, for you are most afraid of the water in the bridge". What does that mean?

Children living in rural areas can basically swim if there is a pond or river near their home. Every summer, the children in the village will go to the river in twos and threes to play, because at that time there was only one TV at home and there was nothing else to play, so they liked to play outside. But will parents at home tell their children? Don't get off the bridge in the shower, most afraid of the water in the bridge? Don't let children play in the river under the bridge.

The center of the bridge is generally the middle part of the whole river. If you just look from the top down, or look from the side, you will feel that the water is very shallow and the water flow is particularly slow. But if you really go down, you will find that the water in the middle of the river is very fast. Some children are weak or have no experience in the water, and their lives will be in danger if they rush down. Although some children especially like to play by the river, some children can't swim. If they go to the middle of the river, they will be easily washed away by the rushing water.

The weather in summer is very hot and the sun is vicious. These rivers seem warm to the touch, so some people will go straight into the water without scruple. However, there is less sunlight in the depths of the river, so you will find that the bottom of the river is very cold after going down. When the skin comes into contact with these cold water, it is likely to cramp and get cold all over. Children's resistance is relatively poor. If he is short, he will go to the middle of the river. If he drowned, it would be difficult for him to climb up again.

Moreover, under the pier is a place where people rarely go. There are rivers passing through here all the year round, and a lot of silt will certainly accumulate below. Children playing under the bridge are very easy to get stuck in the mud and will soon drown their legs. If eight buckets can't be pulled out then, it will be washed away by the river. Therefore, parents in rural areas should raise their children's safety awareness when educating their children and tell them not to play in the river casually.
