Is it absolutely safe to fall into the water wearing a life jacket? Don't! I feel so close to death for the first time!

The weather is getting warmer and water sports are gradually opening up.

Is it absolutely safe to fall into the water wearing a life jacket? Don't! I feel so close to death for the first time!

Personal experience is posted to remind the dried ducks who are about to enter the water that they must pay attention to safety and protect themselves when playing.

The thing is, during the May Day holiday, my boyfriend Ershuai and I went to Taiping Lake High School and fell into the water while playing motorboat. Although I was wearing a life jacket, I almost died.

It's the first time I feel that death is so close to me, and I'm still scared when I think about it.

Recording the incident, I want to tell the majority of landlubbers who have never been in the water like us: don't think that having a life jacket is foolproof. A simple knowledge can save your life at a critical time.

Yes, as we all know, wearing a life jacket correctly can really make people float on the water, but that doesn't mean you won't die.

Only by struggling from the line of pain, despair and life and death can we better understand how happy we are alive. I also hope that more people who have never been in the water like me can learn more about how to get rid of fear and pain in the shortest time and save themselves quickly when forced by sudden waves.

The thing is, the Wuyi Club organized a trip to Taiping Lake, and one of the projects was jet skiing. Usually, coaches take tourists surfing on the water and rush out at an amazing speed. There are 180 degree sharp turns and 360 degree turns. The whole lake smells of adrenaline, which is very exciting. There are also tourists surfing on the water in their motorboats. The difficulty coefficient is much lower. What they feel is the speed of flying on the water and the wind passing by their ears. I've never been in the water before. I look very excited and want to try.

So the second handsome guy is going to show me around in a motorboat. He has been in the water, but he can only flutter a few times. He can't breathe or swim far. This is the premise.

Under the guidance of the coach, we put on life jackets and became familiar with the operation of motorboats. Then we left the waterfront and flew to the middle of the lake. With the trajectory of the motorboat flying at high speed, huge waves flew behind and on both sides, which was so exciting.

In a corner, we were directly overturned by a wave and didn't have time to react.

I sat in the back and had no idea what happened at that moment. I feel the waves keep coming and my body keeps sinking. No matter how hard I struggled, it didn't help. I fell into chaos. At the same time, my nose and mouth choked a lot of water, so I couldn't breathe and felt suffocated. My ears seem to be pinned down by strong pressure, and my head is buzzing. With physical pain and great psychological fear, my head went blank for a few seconds.

At that time, I was thinking quickly while fluttering: Why did I keep sinking in my life jacket? Did I come across three products? Is the wave too big?

After a few seconds, I heard the second handsome boy calling me constantly, thinking that he was arresting me. Suddenly I felt that I saw hope. At this time, I dared not open my eyes, so I reached in the direction of the underwater sound, but I caught nothing.

Hope failed, and his voice suddenly disappeared. I can only find a way by myself. I remember that even if I don't wear a life jacket, I can float on the water at the density of my body as long as I don't struggle wildly. So I immediately relaxed and tried to float.

With constant suffocation, my body relaxed for ten seconds, but I still felt that I didn't float. God knows how desperate I was! "Mom eggs! Come out and play, don't die like this! I am still young! "

"Why is the world suddenly so quiet! It seems to bring some beauty! The wind is light and the clouds are light! " I didn't hear him cry again.

In the calm, suddenly a second handsome voice came from my ear: xx, stick your head out! Stick out your head! Stick out your head!

When I heard someone calling my name, I was a second late, and my brain seemed to see the opportunity, so I immediately started to do what he said.

From hearing his instructions to sticking out of the water, I seem to have exhausted all my strength. Finally breathe the air, cough and breathe. The feeling of suddenly breathing air is not only joy, but also joy, and fear has been eliminated by more than half.

Two handsome guys five or six meters away from me, one hand leaning on the motorboat and the other hand paddling hard, were obviously relieved to see my head above the water. Then he began to command me to lie on my back on the water, but I was constantly overturned by the waves.

A few minutes later, the rescue boat came, and I held the rescuer's hand tightly. I was so nervous and stiff that I had a hard time pulling myself onto the boat. The ship sailed to the shore for a long time, until after landing, the whole person was still confused, only remembering that men and women had been talking.

Afterwards, I chatted with the second handsome about the situation in the water at that time. In his eyes, the stage 1: At that time, he was submerged by a motorboat. As soon as he turned over and found that he couldn't see me, he kept calling my name in all directions. At this time, I could completely hear him calling me, thinking that he was swimming towards me, so I kept reaching out. In fact, he can't swim either, so he can only paddle with his hands (I can hear him calling me at this moment, but I don't know what to do).

The second stage: after shouting a few times, I only saw my legs and long hair floating on the water a few meters away, but I couldn't see my head. The whole person did not move, without any reaction or struggle. This time is also the time when he is most afraid and nervous. He can't swim, but he can't see my head at all (it's time for me to relax completely, thinking that I haven't been floating underwater and my life jacket must be broken). He calmed down for a few seconds, and his mind quickly wanted to save me: tell me to look up and call for help from the people on the shore.

In the third stage, a few seconds later, when my head surfaced, he was completely relieved. Ordered me to breathe and lie flat.

4. Only after landing did I find that there was only one button left in the life jacket. I gasped again.

The whole process reacted too fast, and the landlubber suddenly fell into the water, choking, fearing, despairing, struggling and calm.

I think all the pictures about drowning in the movie are so real: at first, I was surrounded by fear and felt very uncomfortable. Slowly, more and more water entered my body with the water and gradually calmed down. I think the sky is blue, birds are singing, as if everything has disappeared, as if I had returned to the beauty of my childhood. I heard someone shouting around me and couldn't speak.

During the time when I was breathless in the water, I really felt that I was not far from death. I thought I would die like this, too. Two handsome back how to face my parents! We just ordered the wedding ring and haven't received it yet!

Therefore, for you who are both landlubbers, life is precious. Not only your own, but also the people you love and those who love you. Knowing some basic common sense can save lives at critical times. At least avoid a lot of pain until rescuers arrive. Everyone has different tolerance for drowning. For me, it takes about eight minutes from drowning to being rescued. Fortunately, Erpang kept telling me what to do, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. )

Life jacket is made of buoyancy material or inflatable reflective material. With a general service life of 5-7 years, it is one of life-saving equipment on ships and airplanes.

We usually use the vest type, and we also use it when playing water sports. It is made of foamed plastic or cork. It has enough buoyancy when worn on the body, so that the head of the drowning person can be exposed to the water.

1. Let's talk about how to put on a life jacket first. Personally, I found that there was only one button left in my life jacket after I fell into the water. I hope it won't happen to you who can't swim again.

What should you do if you fall into the water? First of all, stay calm.

If the wave is very big, it is best to push it down with the strength of your legs and feet, so that it will not sink all the time.

Try to open your eyes, you will feel less afraid, and it will be more conducive to judging the situation and reducing the time of pain. I didn't dare to open my eyes until my head was above the water. I suffered a lot and almost died. Afterwards, when I was in a circle of friends, someone left a message saying that I was playing with a drifting landlubber, thinking that I could open my eyes in the water and the outside was blue. Somebody help me ...)

If the water is calm, generally speaking, you will float on the water wearing a life jacket. At this time, you just need to try your best to keep your head out of the water and keep breathing. It turns out that slapping the water with your palm can get you out of the water as soon as possible.

Regarding what kind of body posture should be maintained after getting out of the water, a friend left a message saying that "lying flat is more prone to tilt, and vertically feels that the life jacket will be separated from people" (I have been trying to lie flat but I have been lying on my back). A friend who can swim but can't breathe left a message saying that playing kayak and falling into the water had the same feeling as me.

3. What if someone falls into the water and you can't swim? Don't jump into the water to save people. People who fall into the water will cling to you like straws. Maybe they'll both die. Stay calm! Ask others for help quickly and observe the drowning person's situation. At this time, you often know more about the situation than people under water. Analyze the situation quickly and tell the drowning person what to do. Thank you, er Shuai, for keeping calm and guiding me despite great psychological pressure and worry.

After this incident, I also looked up some people's drowning feelings online: 1. Into the water; 2。 Struggle; I feel scared, flustered and short of breath. The throat and stomach are constantly flooded, and the lungs are flooded, which is very painful; 3。 Confused; The body lacks oxygen, can't move, and the consciousness is still awake, but it feels very comfortable, like sleeping soundly; 4。 Be rescued; It's good to see someone else fishing in the water. I don't understand why others are in such a hurry to save themselves. 5。 Awake; Woke up by shaking, I felt a strong sense of suffocation, my nose and mouth began to cough up water, my stomach began to feel uncomfortable, I kept vomiting and coughing, and I was deeply afraid.

I have read some articles about people's feelings before they die: first, there is a white light, and I feel that my body has disappeared, but my soul is still in my head, and I feel relaxed and relieved, and my soul is slowly ascending to heaven ... I feel relaxed and happy without pain. ...

The thought of falling into the water behind me also made me feel relaxed and the pain gradually disappeared. I didn't feel a severe cough until I surfaced. . .

When death approaches, the person I love most is in my mind. I hope everyone can join hands with their loved ones and take care of their lives.
