I do understand what you're trying to say but this is simply not true at all.

10 seconds on google would show you how wrong you are.

Cairo
Six people drowned yesterday while trying to rescue a chicken that had fallen into a well in southern Egypt.

An 18-year-old farmer was the first to descend into the 60-foot well. He drowned, apparently after an undercurrent in the water pulled him down, police said.

His sister and two brothers, none of whom could swim well, went in one by one to help him, but also drowned. Two elderly farmers then came to help, but they were pulled down by the same undercurrent.

The bodies of the six were later pulled out of the well in the village of Nazlat Imara, 240 miles south of Cairo.

The chicken was also pulled out. It survived.

It's SO wrong that I chuckled at the last sentence.

and I can show that these reports have never happened look at them again. how many do save them without drowning? quite a lot but you never hear from that cause its not tragic.

I'll take the word of the Lifesaving Society over you, thanks.

If you mean by helping remove idiots from the population you would be correct.......

I wouldn't necessarily say that someone is an idiot for trying to save someone else's life, but to each his own.

Are you for real? If that's how your mind works, try this one on for size: I can show you that reports of people successfully rescuing drown victims never happened, just look at them again.

yeah, what I found on the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica suggested only those trained in the correct techniques save a conscious drowning person, or at least implied it.

" When approaching a drowning man there is always the danger of being clutched, but a swimmer who knows the right way to deal with a man in the water can easily avoid this"

Key words bolded. Your average joe isn't going to know how to deal with a drowning flailing man.

If they have the training and can do it go for it.


The average person attempting to save someone drowning is not a smart thing. More often than not, it ends up with the victim and rescuer drowning.

On the flip side, it's not exactly smart or intelligent to put yourself into harm's way.

You didn't read any of those did you? None of them lived.
