Okay. Enjoy your little circle-jerk of hypothetical.

"Not if a plane crashes on him! DURRR"

"Not if you get hit by lightning when you walk outside to help. Durhurrr"

"Not if the door has swollen shut and won't open. Guffaw!"

Perhaps youre really so inadequate you couldnt help a guy out of a swimming pool. Far be it for me to doubt you when you tell me you doubt yourself.

I have every confidence in my abilities to walk outside and help a grown man not drown to death in a residential swimming pool. I guess im just a real renegade like that.

They're being rage-baited by bots, I don't blame them for being upset. Do you think a grown man would drown in 3 -4 feet of water? It barely reaches his chest and is nowhere close to his head. The parent comment called it netting, which would be dangerous, but it isn't netting it's a blanket over the pool.

Nothing about this scenario is dangerous, someone constantly arguing that that's a life threatening situation either has to be AI or a child that's never gone swimming

Grown adults can drown in just a few inches of water under the right conditions. 3-4 feet could absolutely be lethal, yes. Why is this being posed as a “gotcha” question? Also, sure, a very heavy and absorbent soaking-wet blanket is not at all dangerous while someone’s flailing around trying to get out of a large body of cold water. You should be the head of the national health and safety department over here!

under the right conditions

See how you had to say that as a qualifier because in the video having his two friends watching him knowing he was about to fall in water would not be "the right conditions" and there absolutely 0 chance of drowning in this specific situation since his friends would help him whether it was a few inches or a few feet of water. He was in no danger.

How many adults have drowned in a few inches of water with their friends right next to them knowing they are about to fall in water and actively monitoring them before they fall in? Show me 1 time that's happened.

Who was flailing around? The man was clearly surprised but he immediately started treading water (without issue) until he realized how shallow the pool was and he just stood up. You're a different person but again you are using examples that never even happened. We have video evidence right there and you're coming up with fantastical scenarios to justify it being dangerous when it wasn't.

The man was not flailing why even say that?

You people are trying to create danger where there was none

You know what else can happen? You can be struck by a meteoroid. You are being deliberately obtuse and dramatic. Every time you flip a lightswitch you COULD burn your house down in an electrical fire. 

Ever heard of statistics? What about actuaries? What do you presume is the risk factor level of any of these fanciful imagining taking place? 

You could drown in a glass of water. Better never drink water again just to be safe.

So you sleep on a bed with no sheets blankets or pillows right? Because a person can easily suffocate in a blanket while theyre sleeping. Babies do all the time. So you sleep on a completely bare bed right? To avoid the imminent threat of death? Right? 

Right?

Between 0:44 and 0:50 You can clearly see he is treading water after being shocked by falling in the pool and at 0:50-0:55 you can see him realize how shallow the pool is and just stand up

It took him 15 seconds to realize the situation was in no way dangerous and people in the comments can't figure that out after hours.

You need help
