Imagine the scenario: you are simply spending a day at home, it is you, and only you for the next mile (nearest neighbor). Delightfully intoxicated under the summer sun, you one well to constant the temperature by getting into the outdoor pool. Yet, on that night in your impaired state, yet you made a serious blunder and jumped into the short end, therefore breaking your arms. Trapped in the hole with no way to climb out, you end up totally in this moment. With dead or alive in between, you will certainly waste a whole month of time and it will be dead." How is your character prepared to cope with such a challenge?

Though this is a hypothetical scenario could seem infeasible, it is possible. However, a study published by The National Institutes of Health which puts into perspective back injuries that occur during jumping into pools might be somewhat surprising. The study with 34 incidents among the private pools within the US from 1996 to 2006, shares the shocking character. It is astounding that out of the 33 cases occurring, 33 of them implicate males; as the incidences happened during summer between June and August. The same age average of victims reached 27 years old stressing widespread character of these accidents at the operational level of younger professionals.

The disastrous thing about this torture is that it not only gives physical suffering, but the wide range of soceco-economical consequences as well. The investigation showed that among the 11 divorce and 7 job loss victims the evil effects of pool related accidents do not only end the moment they happen. They go on and on beyond the immediate physical harm

Whereas spinal and head injuries are what people often associate with injuries related to diving, one can not dispense with the notion of other injuries like both closed and open wrists. A collection of 72 diving injuries have been documented and reported in the Nature Journal. These are observed in cases of broken arms, as well as damaged shoulders. Such a variety of resulting damages reaffirm the diversified nature of risks that stem from this activity.

Alcohol culminates in the risks such as many accidents done while a person is under influence and diving into inadequate water. Researches have reported that 52 cases in total happened when these people were swimming with water shallower than 5 feet in depth, exposing its connection to poor judgment.

Yet, other risks other than drownings often pose in pool accidents. Statistic from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demonstrate severe numeric figures proposing drowning cases, especially in clearly specified demographic groups. On the one hand, it is evident that guys and African Americans are more likely to die as a result of drowning, with factors such as increased exposure to water, the presence of risk-taking behaviors, and the absence of swimming skills being predictive.

The inequality in the swimming proficiency of different racial groups, African Americans being the worse swimmers, when compared to the Caucasians, makes the drowning cases more rampant and a major cause of death which also brings down the life expectancy among some races or groups. This inequality, apart from maintaining the never-ending circle of vulnerability, also substantiates the vitality of equitable pooling in of aptitude in and resources for swimming.

Although apart from the immediate risks of drowning and injury, the entanglement of a child in pool water can also result in prolonged entrapment, and susceptibility to hazardous conditions. Catch in the drain and in the pipeline, where people are accidentally suck into, and is on the rise. This risk is currently the worst in the waterworld. Events like the Canadians man being sat in pipe for three days with his hair is evidence of the fatalities. Also that, scenarios where the ponytail get into pipe problem.

The circumstance of being stranded in a pool for 30 days of survival largely depends on water availability, body functions and to a certain extent how one acquires resilience in deal with environmental issues. Indeed, dehydration is the most evident danger, yet the the chemical characteristics of the pool water and the possibility of pathogenic contaminates play a part in health and general well-being too.

If you are in constant contact with the pool water, the skin can get similar problems from mild irritation to the severe dermatitis or even infection. The growth of bacteria, parasites, and others pollution in the pool water, what is obtained, here entails care and moderation of the nature of drinks from that pool, as a survival method.

Being constantly waking, getting tired, starvation and cold being 3 main threats is how days go by, which massively affects your physical and mental condition. Visuals, paranoia as well as cognitive impairment are more noticeable and this impacts negatively on problem-solving skills and the instinct of survival.

In the end, the hypothetical case teaches about multiple kinds of risks which one might face by drowning that occurred and the extended time of entrapment. While living through such a tragic situation could be possible in some cases, such fatal episode should serve as an alarm for preventive method, health awareness and fairness concerning the access to swimming learning and real equipment to prevent such catastrophe in reality.
