Listening to the story about the 2 young girls fighting each other in order to not drown gave me chills as I can attest to the fact that “a drowning man will try and drag you down with them”. When I was 19 a girl fried and I were in Florida for spring break. A guy we were friends with assured us he knew how to sail so we rented a sail boat and off we went. As it turned out our friend did not know how to sail and promptly flipped the boat over with us in it 😱 We were in water 50 feet deep or more and a pretty good ways away from shore. I had just started to put on my life vest when he flipped the boat and still had it around one arm as I tried to swim up to the light and the air! Just as I broke the surface and grabbed one breath of air my “girl friend” promptly shoved me back under the water as she was desperately trying to get the life jacket!! This went on for what seemed like an eternity, every time I broke the surface and managed to get a short breath she would shove me back under! I honestly thought I was going to drown! Finally I managed to get out in a scream “ you can have the damn vest, you are drowning me” that seemed to finally bring her to her senses and she let go. We both started sharing the vest with it in front of us as a floatation device and started kicking for shore. We were still a good ways away from the shore when one of the guys who rented us the sailboat came out on a jet ski, circled us, shouted something at us and then headed towards our male friend and the now upside down sailboat. My friend looked at me and said “ he left us, what did he say?”” I replied with “ what he said didn’t make any sense but I guess I’ll try it” I put my legs down under me and sure enough they hit sand 😱 He had been yelling at us to “just stand up” 😱🤣🤣 We had swam far enough in that we could stand up but it still looked like we were far away from the shore 🤣🤣🤣 We laughed our asses off once we were on dry land! Cheers

It wasn't your friend's fault; she wasn't doing that on purpose. She was on the edge of losing her human identity and becoming survival instincts, and it's a blessing you were able to share the flotation device before something worse happened. Eventually, people will be reduced to facing up, gasping for air, and "climbing"; they won't be able to talk or do anything except for those motions... I'm glad you guys could float before anything worse happened. And lol @ the end of your story :) love a chuckle to end something like that lol what a ride

We were a good ways from shore but we could still see it, so we weren’t going to get lost at sea or anything.

I have to disagree, as someone with severe chronic pain, if you were given the choice of agonising pain for hours or a pitch black nothingness (without pain) - I'm betting basically everyone would choose the painless one. People don't generally pass out from pain, you're much more likely to have to endure the agony, so if you knew no one was coming for you and your pain was 10/10, many people choose suicide/euthanasia (e.g. 9/11 jumpers). Pain will destroy you, you'll do anything to escape.

Small amounts of pain prolonged over long periods, or large amount of pain with rest in between. Also, how is dieing of hypothermia whilst locked in a diving bell 300 feet under water "painless" ? The cold would be painful, the thinning air would be painful... the whole experience would be psychologically painful.

The story of the girls going into survival mode and doing whatever it took to surface for a breath of air, including holding your own family member under the water to increase your chances of surviving. This is often what causes one person drowning to become two on account of the person in distress pulling the person attempting to rescue them under with them in their panicked state. While I was a lifeguard I had to punch a middle-aged man in the face, breaking his nose, to get him off of me and to stop pulling me under while I was mid-rescue. The only other time I had a similar situation, I had to continuously dunk the panicked woman's head under the water and scream at her every time I let her up to "LET GO OF ME," "STOP STRUGGLING," and finally "Go limp and let me worry about swimming us back to shore." I had a good amount of saves but those two occurrences really makes your heart race.

Had a childhood experience similar to Story 2. My best friend invited me to a party his family was having at his house. They had a pool and others were already swimming so I decided to hop in too. I was having fun when one of my friend's cousins who was also a kid grabbed me and forced me under the water. He was bigger and stronger so I didn't really stand a chance. He held me down for about 30 seconds. Not so bad until you realize I didn't get a chance to take a breath before this. Soon I entered the phase of drowning where your chest is burning and you start shaking uncontrollably. At that point the cousin let me go and I shot up for air. He was just laughing at me as I recovered from one of the closest near death experiences of my life. I told my friend about it and he was pretty upset that it had happened but I never found out if his parents did anything about it. Imagine inviting your family and friends over only to find out the former made an attempt on the latter's life in one of the worst ways imaginable, all for the hell of it. I swear, kids are mostly innocent but under the right circumstances they can become some of the cruelest mofos on the planet.

Terrifying feeling with water going up ur nose too. To this day because of that feeling I have to plug my nose when I swim. I almost drown at a water park stuck under a giant red floating pad that kids would cross from one to another with a rope. I'll never forget how I couldn't get out from under this red pad and kept bonking my head. My dad was there but didn't notice but my overprotective sister noticed I was under too long and grabbed me.

PSA: DO NOT USE INFLATABLE FLOTATION DEVICES. THEY ARE NOT US COAST GUARD APPROVED As a former lifeguard, everything about that second story made me upset and uncomfortable. I refused to work at apartment or private pools because being alone as a lifeguard can result in death or injury for swimmers. The lifeguard leaving on a break while there were still people on deck is unacceptable, let alone the fact that they did not inform the family directly. Secondly, the fact that the lifeguard allowed the family to use inflatable floaties is against US Coast Guard recommendations. The family should have also checked and made sure their flotation devices were safe for use. Any inflatable device is not coast guard approved because if it pops, the person will go down (including the arm floaties and those horrifying baby neck rings). The adult family member should also have never allowed children into the pool without making sure they had their flotation devices back on. Not only that, but allowing yourself to be distracted by a baby or outside event while children that you KNOW cannot swim are still on deck is incredibly irresponsible. It also is not recommended to jump into a hot tub. Letting children go jump in unsupervised is so risky because of the heat, bubbles, underwater obstacles like benches, and not always being able to see the bottom. You also shouldn't have inflatable devices in hot tubs, those are for pools or large bodies of water. Where I used to lifeguard, we required any children under the age of 16 who could not swim or pass the deep end test to have a parent or guardian over the age of 18 on deck, and any child who could not swim had to have an adult in the water with them within arm's reach at all times. Eating on deck is also a no-no; you do not eat on deck or in the water as the food can get in the water and it's just messy. I do not blame the two girls for their terror and how they responded. They're kids, and don't know any better. It is entirely the fault of the adults in the situation for all of the events that led to their near drowning. The fact that they survived is an absolute miracle, and the one girl even going on to learn how to swim and having minimal fear is even more miraculous. I've taught swim lessons for years and I've had kids terrified after something as little as missing the edge of the pool and dunking themselves while in the deep end. edit: PSA 2: DO NOT TAKE THOSE CLASSES WHERE YOU THROW CHILDREN INTO POOLS WHO CANNOT SWIM. Those classes are NOT SAFE. They can traumatize children. Chucking babies, toddlers, children, teens, or even adults into a body of water when they cannot swim is traumatizing for both the one in the water and those around them. It can do far more damage than good. Especially just chucking kids in who are fully clothed, they already can't swim and you are not helping that. Enroll children in ACTUAL swim classes. If you have a baby, make sure that they are classes that have you in the water with them so you can hold your child. This will be so much better for both the baby and your mental health and trust.

Even birds require further support from mom and dad after they've left the nest, learning what's safe and what isn't. What I'd say is ridiculous is the parents not paying attention. A calf drowning in a sinkhole is one thing, especially when the cow lacks the intelligence to prevent her baby from falling in. But a human mother who doesn't double check for floaties, the depth of the pool, or keep observation over anyone in the water is flat out negligent.

I vaguely remember this, but I’ve heard this story countless times. When i was about 4-5 years old I lived with my grandparents. They had a fish pond in the garden and one time i had this brilliant idea to get a small plastic chair to sit and watch the fishes. My grandma went inside to check on the food she was cooking which only took a second. Meanwhile, I placed the plastic chair on some bulky stones by the pond and scooted with it to get closer when suddenly I lost my balance and fell straight into the water. I was so unbelievably lucky as our then teenage neighbour saw me from their window and just bolted out as fast as he could, jumping the fence between our gardens and pulled me out. Deep water is scary as balls.

Story 2 is almost exactly what had happened to me on my 7th birthday, i was on my friends shoulders when she accidentally dropped me in the deep end and we both toppled eachother and tried to get on top of eachother desperate for a breath of air. I didn’t even process the fact that I was drowning until my limbs got tired from thrashing around. Luckily a lifeguard saved us both but I can never forget how terrifying it was and how forgotten i felt seeing people around me in the pool and on the surface but no one realizing we were drowning. So to say always make sure your kids or anyone that can’t swim have a flotation device at all times. Drowning is the one of the most terrifying things I’ve experienced

Not too flashy, or crazy editing, or jump scares. He reminds me of sitting by a crackling campfire on a chilly, fall night. Camping with friends and family and telling ghost stories or something similar. Although his stories are a lot more interesting and terrifying than anything we would tell each other 😂 Next time I go camping with some friends after it gets dark and a fire is going, I'm going to secretly start looping this music track, and proceed to tell one of your must f*d up cave exploring stories. As my friends are all wondering where that creepy ass music is coming from 😂 It's scary... Interesting...

I thought for certain the third story about the dive bell, an oil rig and ship with dynamic positioning (DP) was going to be the one from the movie "Last Breath." I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't. But if anyone hasn't seen "Last Breath," it's a riveting documentary about a similar horrific diving incident involving a ship with DP, a dive bell, and underwater platform diving work.

As for the second story: when I almost drowned at the age of 8 or 9, don't remember anymore, even if the wall of the pool had anything I could use to climb out of the water, I wouldn't have thought of doing so. It's not possible to form a coherent thought if one is in full panic mode. In the end I got rescued by a girl a bit younger than myself and Idc if it's pathetic or not, I'm alive and feel that's the biggest w I could take out of that situation.

Pool story brought back my own almost drowning. Though at the time I was alone. Happened back when I was in elementary at a public pool. My class went there and played in the shallow water. At the end, the instructor/guide walked us around the pool and showed us the deep side on the way out. I was the last one in line. I went around the pool, slipped and fell in. I struggled and paniced but somehow managed to pull myself up and out of the pool. I trudged into the room where the rest of the girls were changing. They wondered what took me so long. No one knew what happened and I didn't say anything to anyone about it until years later.

While many of the stories you tell don’t end very happily. I do have to say that these videos whilst often horrifying, are also good lessons learnt. I for one will never enter a cave without knowing the way out, and as a scuba diver, I actually haven’t been diving for about a year since the very last time I went my friend and I encountered a great white shark here in Australia. And while it never actually attacked us or anything, I also realise that had that shark been hungry that day, we likely may not have made it out as we were far off shore, away from our boat and with nothing to defend ourselves. I count my blessings having gotten out safely. And I’m unsure if I’d ever go again after how terrified I was.

The first story was extremely preventable. As a plant maintenance diver/worker incompetent operators are a nightmare and death trap waiting to happen. Every operator who willingly disregarded proper safety protocols should be fired and the employer should absolutely be charged with negligence since they hold all liability because the divers were acting in the scope of their jobs in what they believed was a safe environment. This is exactly why lockout/tag out procedures are in place and extremely important to follow no matter what.

I had a very similar experience to the middle story at a backyard pool party when I was around 10 years old and my brother was 7. I could swim, but my brother could not, so I was swimming in the deep and while he swam shallow end. At one point, my brother accidentally stepped into the deep end and immediately, instinctively grabbed onto the closest object: me. We were the same size so he pulled both of us under. I remember thrashing and fighting and trying to yell for what felt like ages, but he would not let go, and I could not get my head above water. It was a busy party with a lot of splashing and squealing kids everywhere, so no one noticed anything amiss for at least a minute. Thankfully, an adult finally saw what was happening and dove in (fully clothed) to drag us both out. I honestly believe he saved our lives. For the rest of the party, kids dived to collect all the change that had fallen from his pockets.

I’ve been a PADI certified diver living and diving in Florida since childhood. I’m now 38 years old for reference. And there’s two reasons for my comment: 1. In both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico you lose almost all sunlight once you’re down at 110 feet. 2. We’ve grossly overfished and just generally depleted the once abundant food sources from our oceans. And what I mean is that 20 years ago there was a beautiful variety of corals and marine life, and diving was something indescribably special and spectacular. But now, everything is dead or dying. A film of brown algae and poison covers everything and the little fish and creatures are no where to be found… But the sharks and barracuda are still there. Hunting for food while desperately hungry. And when they get hungry enough, they’ll eat anything. ANYTHING. So stay out of the water and fight to rescue and reclaim our oceans from corruption and indifference. Maybe the next generation can have seas worth exploring again.

I was once in a similar situation to the middle story: My mom and I swam too far out to sea. We both know how to swim, so we both started to swim back to the beach. I was the first to get a foothold, but my mom wasn't making progress and started to panic. I rushed to help her, but she instantly pushed me underwater. Down there, I realized she was going to drown us both. I knew about this behavior and how rescuers may need to render the victim unconscious to be able to safely rescue someone, but I didn't know how to do this effectively, so I decided to swim away and help her calm down. This method worked. I also told her when to hold her breath when a wave was coming. We both were able to reach the beach. This happened nine years ago, but to this day, she doesn't remember pushing me underwater and doesn't believe it happened. Even a mother cannot escape the survival instinct.

There was a small amusement park called "Wild World", here in VA/MD area. One of their pools was not marked that it got deeper in the center if you were to want to walk across it. We were kids, my friend couldn't swim. Obviously, I went to save him as he was now drowning 10' behind me. As an adult now, I can clearly understand why my friend damn near drowned me. He tried to climb on top of me, which pushed me straight to the bottom and he stood on my back. I remember having to "roll" out from under him in a panic. Either way, I got him out as there were no lifeguards. I had to hold him from flying out of a roller coaster that day too. Our parents didn't let us go back there anymore. 😂 That place is now owned by "Six Flags".

While swimming my cousin decided to try and float to a raised but of land in the middle of the river not realizing the water would be faster around it and she panicked. I had just completed my first year of swim team so I semi knew how to swim and grabbed her as she panicked and thrashed while I tried swimming to shore. I will never forget the way she pushed my shoulder and head underwater as I pulled her to shore and the panic as my head kept going under.

I remember I had a situation like Maddie’s with my younger brother in a public pool. I was able to stay calm and let him use my head for leverage to breathe, and then when I needed to breathe I would slowly pull him under, use him as leverage to get a breath, and then allowed him back up while I slowly walked us across the bottom to the edge of the pool. It feels like it took an eternity but it probably wasn’t longer than 30 seconds. We probably wouldn’t have drowned because it was a crowded public pool, but if I didn’t stay calm then it would’ve been way worse for both of us.

You ever have an experience that isn’t necessarily a true ‘nightmare’ but sticks with you anyway? Especially as a kid? I can think of 3 off the top of my head that ended up leading to safety changes/laws. Of the three, one of which happened to me personally, 2 involved classmates in elementary school. When I was in 5th grade, my family lived just north of Atlanta in Gwinnett. We lived in an apartment. One night I woke up to the smoke detectors blaring. I shot up out of bed and there was just smoke everywhere. It was odd looking because I’d fallen asleep reading so my lamp was still on. It gave the smoke an odd appearance. I ran to my parents’ room (no one else woke up to the alarms). They frantically search for the fire. My dad screamed at us to get out of the apartment. Next thing I know, he comes busting out the front door carrying my mattress that is on fire. Remember how I said I fell asleep with my lamp on? It was one of those that clamped to your headboard of your bed. Apparently as I slept, the pillow or bedding pushed up against the light and eventually caught fire. It was crazy that the flames would have been right at my back but I had no injury. Even stranger, the lamp was still working but the plastic housing was melted to the lightbulb and there were black streaks everywhere! Needless to say, I don’t fall asleep reading by lamp anymore! But before this happened, we were a military family. We lived in Charleston, SC. I had one classmate, a little boy, he’d been playing outside while his dad did yard work. Back then, push mowers didn’t have the automatic handle-cutoff. The dad left the mower running, walked away to do something and before he got back, there was an ungodly scream and noises that were foreign to comprehend. Somehow the mower started moving forward when my classmate fell. It ran over both of his legs causing him to have one amputated. This last one though, still makes me nervous and I’m rather anal about checking these areas now. We lived in military housing on base. That meant that kids from K-8th grade walked to school. (High schoolers were bussed off base). Anyhoo, most of Charleston is swamp and wetlands with the water table being very close to ground level. So when it stormed, the ground didn’t do well to suck up most of it. On our path to school there were several large drainage ditches that fed into culverts. These would turn into something close to white water rapids when it stormed hard and for a long time. One of those ditches we had to cross to get home or go almost two blocks to the next road that went over it. A classmate tried to jump it, missed, fell immediately into the water. I guess out of pure instinct as she reached the culvert, she grabbed hold. But she was underwater and before anyone could get to her she drowned. Her fingers were still clamped as if she was still holding on to that culvert. So now when you see fences around storm drains, storm collection ponds…. It’s incidents like this that led to them.

I've had sleep apnea before and the way my body would alert me to the difficulty in breathing is by giving me a drowning dream. When I had made the connection I no longer feared these and could just take a deep breath at the bottom of the body of water and continue sleeping. That's not to say I'm not dreadfully fearful of drowning. I love swimming but I almost never put both my mouth and nose underwater at once.

"and could just take a deep breath at the bottom of the body of water" So basically like a reality check that lucid dreamers like myself do. You hold your nose closed and if you can still breath through it, you know you're dreaming.

@@chrisakaschulbus4903 I basically always know when I'm dreaming, but I never lucid dream in the classical sense of directing the dream. I'm merely observing what's going on. That's far more interesting to me. Although I have conducted experiments with the very plain conclusion: you can only do the things in dreams that require no outside information. For example, you cannot read a book in your dreams unless you know every letter on every page of that book. You cannot test a program unless you have access to a functioning computer. Etc etc. So now I just observe.

@@FHBStudio Lucid just means that you are aware of yourself dreaming. Directing it is different. But it's the more common definition people think about when hearing it. Outside information such as sound can be perceived, depending on how hard i'm sleeping. But it's also like your imagination. You can't imagine things that aren't already in your brain, or at least the building blocks for imagining it. Some folks probably have never seen a car or heard of the concept (sentinel island for example)... and i'm sure they aren't imagining or dreaming about luxury cars or going to the movies.

@@chrisakaschulbus4903 I actually do perceive sounds while dreaming which is sometimes annoying when my dreams integrate the sound of my alarm, and I spend 45 minutes trying to disable it within the dream before realizing it's on the outside. But yeah sounds definitely work. I've had calls with people and responded to them while asleep. The only reason I know this is because at the time I had recorded it. Would be cool if this could be adopted into a nightmare therapy treatment where the voice of the therapist can be brought into the dream world to help you out in the nightmare. I've also imagined things for which I had very little to go on. For example, a mixture of xenomorphs and seagulls (as the best I can describe it) and seeing real places I've never been to before. I've then later visited those places and recognized those from my dreams. But yeah I wholly acknowledge that with 1, a limited amount of real world experience, 2 a weak level of retention and 3, low levels of imagination, dreams like these are hard to come by. Fortunately I'm okay in at least 2 of those. Not so much in nr 1.

5:45 Any parent that takes their child to a community pool without them knowing how to swim is an idiot. On top of that, IF you do it you keep your eyes on them at all times. What a horrible parent.

The kids is just as stupid. After all, they were the ones to actually jump. (except if the parents threw them in, of course). What other mammal treats their own life like that?

Every parent, ever? Children don't miraculously swim on their own, they started really bad at first. Everyone does.

Welp I have to stop watching these at night but it’s oddly fascinating
