i took a lifeguard training when i was a teenager, and part of the test was to pull up a "dummy" from underwater...in a murky lake, so i couldn't really see very well, but just a blurry shape...
Like Silas said, some people actually DO sink... |
In reply to Message (76818.1.1.1.1.1) Thanks, Silas, I didn't know that
By jollywetfellow - Mon 15/04/19 09:11:21 GMT I guess that explains the exercise they are doing. Sounds like that was a traumatic experience for you Glad it hasn't put you off wetlook |

By Silas - Sun 14/04/19 23:52:09 GMT I know from personal experience when someone drowns they can sink to the bottom of the pool and stay there. |

By jollywetfellow - Sun 14/04/19 16:48:46 GMT I meant, why do they use something that sinks to the bottom of the pool in the first place? I assume that the idea is to simulate rescuing a real person. But a real person wouldn't be at the bottom of the pool, since humans float. And a dummy which sinks wouldn't feel like a person who floats when its being towed along, would it? Is there some reason for using a dummy which is not identical in density to a human body? |

By sjakie - Sun 14/04/19 15:42:26 GMT Safety. A real person canīt stay that long on the bottom of a pool without diving gear |

By jollywetfellow - Sun 14/04/19 12:44:17 GMT The ladies in jeans doing lifesaving exercises (?tests) are great. One thing puzzles me, though; why do they use a dummy which is obviously more dense than water, and so the 'rescuers' have to dive to get it; a real person, even if unconscious, would normally stay on or near the surface. Presumably the dummy also feels different to a person while they are towing it through the water, for the same reason. Any ideas why they do it that way, anybody? |
