how to save yourself if your drowning?

[QUOTE="LZ71"][QUOTE="MrGeezer"]

No, drowning is like getting shot. It often RESULTS in death, but the death is a separate thing from the getting shot/drowning.

You simply do not have to have died to have drowned.

Then your dictionary sucks, and can go to hell. Because people HAVE drowned and lived to tell about it, and we still lack the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Sorry, but your dictionary is wrong.

kill yourself so when you die, it won't be from drowning :phayate-nogotoku

rotfl :lol:

[QUOTE="Shhadow_Viper"]Wouldn't that be resuscitation from death? So they would be dead unless someone resuscitated them if they drowned wouldn't they? So drowning does equal death.

I would rather side with this definition.

"Drowningisdeathfrom suffocation (asphyxia) caused by a liquid entering the lungs and preventing the absorption of oxygen leading to cerebralhypoxiaandmyocardial infarction."

This is what I think you are talking about: "Near drowningis the survival of a drowning event involving unconsciousness or water inhalation and can lead to serious secondary complications, including death, after the event."

Yes, I am aware that wikipedia is stupid and unreliable. Thanks for reminding me.

Sorry, but your dictionary is wrong.

If you are not breathing and your heart has stopped you are by definition dead. That doesn't mean that you have to stay dead, but you are technically dead at that moment.

It's easy: stop drowning.

Get on Gamespot and ask how to save yourself.

[QUOTE="LZ71"] According to the dictionary, to drown means to "to die under water or other liquid of suffocation" when used as a verb, or "to kill by submerging under water or other liquid" when used as a verb with and object.Guybrush_3

No, death occurs when the brain has died.

Granted, the legal definitions probably vary by country. I have little doubt that there are places where you are legally dead if you don't move when someone pokes you with a stick.

Technically, drowning does not equal death. People have drowned and been saved.

Sir, you have crossed the line. It is one thing to insult one's dictionary, but now you have insulted ME. And that is taking things too far. Now I demand satisfaction.

That's a helpless situation. Just say the last prayer.

Stop moving and hold your breathe in, this will help you reach the top and probably help you survive;)

try and drink all the water so you will be able to breathe

keep farting it helps you floatMeowmixxvi

I have a friend who died in a river by drowning in a whirlpool.

You are not supposed to struggle when drowning in a whirl pool. You save your energy and try to curl up in a ball. o_o

we'll first you'll have to wait until you respawn, and then try swimming this time

say no ones around and your alone in a pool. you drown for some reason, how do you save yourself?sofakingfat
