During the Dragon Boat Festival
A woman accidentally fell into the West Lake
But she wasn't in a hurry
"Lying flat" floats on the surface of the lake and waits for rescue
subsequently
Rescuers drive rescue boats
The woman was immediately rescued
It can be said to be textbook
"SOS & Rescue"
As soon as the report was broadcast
It has aroused many questions from netizens
If you accidentally fall into the water
Does "lying flat" self-help really work?
Summer is just around the corner
Drowning prevention safety education
It also needs to be taken seriously
At 5:25 p.m. on June 9, the Water Supervision Section of the Water Management Office of Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area received a call for help from staff along the lake, saying that someone had fallen into the water of the Broken Bridge and Jindai Bridge.
"The staff of the rescue center rushed to the scene with two lifeguards, and then in less than 3 minutes, they went to the water area where the incident occurred at about 5:29 p.m. and rescued the person ashore."
Pan Shi'an, deputy chief of the water supervision section of the Water Management Office of the West Lake Scenic Area in Hangzhou, said that the water area where the woman fell into the water was about 2 meters deep, because the West Lake was living water, and the water was flowing slowly.
Pan Sai On also said that the woman who fell into the water still has a strong sense of rescue and understands water.
Often people who don't understand the nature of water accidentally fall into the water, and they will just keep waving their hands and shouting for help, which is very dangerous!!
so
Does "lying flat" self-rescue really work when falling into the water?
In the event of drowning
What is the right way to save yourself?
The rules of self-rescue from drowning that everyone needs to know
first
Don't panic Keep your brain awake
second
Grab floating objects such as plastic, foam
Or something like a lifebuoy
Wait for rescue
Remember!!
Do not lift your hands up (perpendicular to the water) when drowning
Or desperately yelling and struggling
In case of rapid physical depletion
Get into the water faster
The right thing to do is:
The top of the head can be back and the mouth and nose up
Expose your mouth and nose to the surface of the water for breathing
In case of choking
Hold your breath at the same time and keep your limbs relaxed
This posture can be minimized
The area of the body in contact with water
Thus reducing the resistance of the water
Allow yourself to stay on the surface of the water for longer
Other than that
Breathe slowly while lying on the surface of the water
If you're short of breath
It's easy to get stuck in the water
In addition to the "lying flat" type of self-rescue, there is also a way called "jellyfish hugging" that can also be used for "drowning" self-rescue.
"Jellyfish hugging" is to curl up the body and hold your knees tightly with both hands.
As long as the person who falls into the water can remain relaxed during this process and hold his breath at the same time, he will automatically float up.
How to save yourself in an unexpected situation while swimming outdoors?
1
Extraction muscle
(1) Leg cramps: swim to the shore or grab nearby floating objects as soon as possible; If you can't continue swimming, take a deep breath and dive underwater, try to straighten your feet, and then push your legs out as hard as you can, until the cramps slowly subside.
(2) Finger cramps: Immediately clench your hands into fists, grasp them repeatedly, and then open them vigorously until they no longer cramp. Can float on your back.
2
Lung-hsien
Treading water as much as possible and exposing your head to the surface of the water will reduce the need to choke on water again.
Tread water regularly for a while to calm yourself down before taking other measures.
3
Encounter a whirlpool
Try to lie flat on the surface of the water and swim quickly in the direction of the whirlpool using the most common swimming style.
4
Entangled in aquatic plants, etc
(1) Don't struggle desperately, kick and kick randomly, otherwise it will make the aquatic plants more tight.
(2) If there are people nearby, ask for help as soon as possible, grab something that can be grasped, and let the body surface.
(3) The most effective way is to take a deep breath and dive into the water to unravel the aquatic weeds.
In addition, the rescue team members also emphasized that many people are too panicked after falling into the water, and even in shallow areas where the water is as deep as their thighs, drowning often occurs.
Safety is no trivial matter, summer is coming, and shallow water areas must not be taken lightly!
