This one's actually sad. Some kid from China drowns and no one even tried to save him. The fucking lifeguard is just standing there like a complete retard, poor kid. :(

The one kid who walked up, clearly saw the other kid drowning, casually starts to get in the pool, and then decides not to and just leaves. Then there’s the fact that either no one seemed to notice, which I find hard to believe, or they intentionally let him drown. Either way racism against the Chinese is looking more justified every day.

The only thing you accomplish by trying to rescue a drowning person is to be drowned by them first. Then they drown anyway and you end up in threads like this being mocked by dipshits like me.

This might apply to fully grown adults in the ocean but this is a 65 lb child drowning 2 ft away from the edge of a swimming pool. The only person that kid was drowning was himself.

Throw on 65 pounds that's actively panicking and dragging you down into the water and tell us how well you end up. Lifeguards don't carry flotation aids for their own use, they carry them specifically to swim out near the drowner and then throw over the flotation aid specifically so that they aren't dragged down.

Agreed, but the kid was still within (near) arms reach of the ladder. There was basically no risk to anyone that would've helped. Hell, just a simple shove and he could've been grabbed from the side of the pool.

It is so much different in a pool than in the ocean. One time at a summer camp a little girl was trying to get into her tube by going under it and she was struggling a lot. Eventually she started going to the bottom I think I was the only noticed it so I went under and grabbed her, at that state she wasn't really fighting. Yeah she was kinda heavy and yeah I was exhausted carrying her but I was in a pool so it didn't take long to get her to the ladder.

Did you claim the little girl? It was your right.

Instead of all the "he should have helped him" shitposting, here's an actual question of mine. Why do some people fucking drop like a fucking stone the second they hit the water?

Unless I hit my head on something and ended up face-down in the water, I would not be able to drown. I just float back up. I used to jump in the deep end of a pool and hold my breath and just do nothing. I'd float up 6 feet or so in 8 seconds.

Because they don't stop moving. All that flailing does is punch holes in the water that you sink into which creates a nasty feedback loop of thrashing causing you to sink followed by even more panicked thrashing desperately trying to reach the surface which causes you to sink even faster and so on. Treading water requires a specific stroke which floats you on top of the water, or you simply wait and float up to the surface, but to float up you need that air in your lungs for buoyancy since you are heavier than water otherwise and you're probably going to lose that air from panicked thrashing. No air in your lungs, the harder it is to float, and the more filtered the water the harder it is to float in it since there's less particulates to help suspend your weight, that's why the Dead Sea makes people so buoyant for instance.

TL;DR: Humans aren't meant to float and it's pretty much impossible if you panic

Cool, this explains why I always float because I don't freak out and start flailing my arms like a dipshit the microsecond I touch the water and also don't drink in 3 gallons to become a submarine. So I guess this is natural selection.

The chinese people don't give a shit. The government actively discourages altruistic acts. If anyone gives support to the kid and the kid dies, the person giving support can be sued.

It's a country of 'an hero', not heroes. Case in point:

He is not dead in the beginning, but wait for it.
