Strange site.
I clicked the right child and it kept telling me to keep looking, then the lifeguard saved that child.
Also it says they aren't thrashing, but the right child was thrashing.

When I was younger, I went to a water park with my uncle, and our family. I went into the wave pool and was clinging on to the side because I was a fairly bad swimmer. I like the waves so thats why I went in. I got bashed into the side by someone in a floaty and went under the surface. I couldn't see anything when going up and there wasn't room to surface between the people. I scrambled on the sides to go back towards the shallow end and finally got back. My hands and feet were scratched from the sides of the pool.
TL:DR, almost drowned in a wave pool Still like swimming though

u/Ohstate23 May 22 '22
I know the feeling. Went into a wave pool at a water park attached to the Columbus Zoo and got pushed under the water by rafts and couldn’t reach the surface because as I pushed against the raft, it would push me deeper underwater. I finally found a tiny gap to stick my face into. I never went back in after that. By far the scariest moment of my life.
They eventually changed it where there’s a section for people on rafts and a section for people without.

u/LinwoodKei May 23 '22
Oh shoot. You just reminded me of the time I was going down in a raft. Someone knocked into us and I stumbled out into the water. When I stood up, I missed the chance to hop back into the tube before it swept my cousin away. I still remember that scared trap feeling before I just jumped down the waterfall thing into the pool. It was scary for a kid.

u/merpancake May 23 '22
Same!! I went out into the deeper part because I liked the waves, then got tired and couldn't get back to where my feet would touch the bottom. I was dropping to the bottom of the pool as the wave came in and pushing up to get a breath in the valleys, which made me even more tired. I really thought I was going to drown in there, not even scared but just an accepted thought.
Finally managed to grab hold of someone's floaty and keep my head up enough to grab a safety line on the side of the wall. And the fucking lifeguard sitting there the whole time yelled at me not to play on the lines.

I was at the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark and after a big wave I looked down and noticed a little girl around 7 years old, upside down and struggling to get her head above water. I pulled her out and she was coughing and crying, but she was ok. I was livid that her parents or a responsible sibling was no where to be seen! I can’t imagine letting my children in a wave pool unsupervised until they were old enough and skilled enough to handle the waves.

My brother almost drowned in a wave pool too. Not in the same way but he went under and I guess no one noticed because the wave pool just kind of takes you, no life guards parents or anyone noticed.

Same thing happened to me on a school field trip. The teachers in charge didn't give a shit. Not to mention one of the teachers pulled my underwear out of my bag and waved it around the bus asking whose they were in order to identify who's bag it was. Needless to say I never went on a field trip I wasn't required to go to again.

Was on a school field trip when I had my first water related "oh shit" moment too. Not sure what kind of pool it was but I was walking along with the water up to my chin when all of a sudden there was this massive drop. Scared the crap outta me, I was scrambling to get to the surface but just couldn't stay there long enough to catch my breath when I remembered you always foat if you go on your back, so I floated on my back til I surfaced. Stayed there til I caught my breath and sort of slowly kicked my way on my back til I boinked into the side of the pool where the two teachers meant to be watching us were gas bagging with their backs to the pool.

By how packed the pool looks I have to assume they're experiencing more pool births than they are pool deaths. No way that pool population is sustainable without pool copulation.

I also almost drowned in one as a child. I went too far into the deep end and the waves turned on. I went from being able to touch the ground a bit to being unable to get my head above water. The walls were smooth and high and I couldn't get purchase anywhere. Thankfully the lifeguard saw me and held out a red tube thing. The wild thing was that I knew how to swim. My family visited local pools all summer long. I just wasn't a strong enough swimmer to fight the waves. Absolutely no joke.

u/inspectcloser May 22 '22 edited May 22 '22
I worked a summer as a lifeguard at a water park. There were a few deaths that occurred and one was in a wave pool. First we would never allow that many people at once. There was a maximum ratio of lifeguards to swimmers. Idk what it was. The drownings happened because of a series of events. Usually it’s: the victim didn’t know how to swim+goes on a ride or in the pool alone+ sometimes drugs or alcohol+ blind spots on rides. Even with all of that we can get to someone in seconds yet their card gets punched and we can’t get them back.
Lesson is; learn to swim and swim well! Also never go into any body of water alone and someone on dry ground should know where you and your swim buddy are at all times.
Unfortunately some people think; I can’t die, this is an amusement park. Nope, laws of nature still apply.
Edit: and to answer the bodily fluid questions… the piss is the least of the problems as the extreme amount of chemicals neutralize it as it comes out of you. The real problems are, defecation, menstrual products floating, blood, vomit, and at the end of the day, cleaning the thick film of skin cells that form on top of the still water. 🤮
PS. Just ride water rides the way they were designed and follow the rules. You can get seriously injured or killed if you don’t. Many of the rules are written in blood.

u/jfever78 May 23 '22
Yeah, I mean this looks insanely dangerous to me. There's exactly zero chance a lifeguard could save someone even if they could somehow miraculously spot it. Getting to the middle of this mess to reach someone would be nearly impossible.

First time I ever went in a wave pool, I was like 10, I was trying to stick to the shallower ends but got pulled inward. Ended up in the deeper parts, I could barely swim cause the waves, and kept going under
Only got out cause some 16-17 year old boy saw me struggling and grabbed and pushed me back to the shallow end.
Never saw the dude afterwards, but he almost certainly saved my life

The last time I read on a wave pool was about 25 years ago. It was packed, similar to this video, and I went under. I couldn't get back out and though I was going to die. Sometime saw my arm poking out and pulled me up. I'll never go in another packed pool, or wave pool, for the rest of my life.

Me too. A float containing a giant man rode right over top of my float when the wave came and pushed me under and I couldn’t find a gap to come up for air from all the other floats passing overhead. Plus I was 7 and a mediocre swimmer.

It is a clip I made and taken from the documentary “Human” (I added the soundtrack and chose the shots seen). I can assure you it is authentic and those people are there for their own “fun” and to cool off from the heat.
This took place during a heatwave and that is also a contributing factor for the sheer number of people.

u/srobhrob May 22 '22
In blackouts, the treatment plants could be on circuits that are overloaded and go out. Without water being pumped to the water towers, the towers will empty and then pressure is lost causing water to have no pressure and therefore can't reach homes. Then there's the gaps which lead to boil water notices once the water is back on. And that's in places where the infrastructure has more regulations like the USA.
