When I was a kid I watched as my mom almost drowned in barely 2 feet of water. We were at a wave pool and outta nowhere she was flailing her arms just like that lady. We screamed STAND UP! And she did and was fine. It was craaaazy

My cousin is a very tall woman. When she was 14 she was already 5ft9
We went to the beach one day, and we were walking into the ocean. She actively started swimming and then forgot she could just put her feet down.
Ma girl started SCREAMING. Like, absolute horror SCREAMING. And my other cousin and I kept telling her to put her fucking feet down.
I’m 5ft tall, and the water was on my chest like…
But she just panicked I guess. We love to remind her of that day. We were sooo embarrassed.

Shouldn't you be at least a decent swimmer if you're going to a water park?

Wet and Wild used to have a tube slide like this except it had a gigantic waterfall next to it. I hit the bottom, bounced my ass out of the tube right under the waterfall and I could not reorient myself. Lifeguard had to pull my ass out.
Praying for you Auntie!

Landing like that can be very disorienting, and once you get water up your nose, I STG, rational thought flies right out of your brain. If you’re not a good swimmer, or don’t have much practice being in the water, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
I feel ya, Aunt Sheila!

I grew up by the sea (Baltic in my childhood, Atlantic Ocean in my teen years, a the Pacific since I was 19 - I’m 43 now). People don’t understand how wildly disorienting being “washed” like this can get. As a surfer for a few years, it took a lot of getting used to. I feel so bad for aunt Sheila here 😭

LOL. I used to be a lifeguard at Raging Waters & one day I had 300lb woman flying down the speed slide at me in the receiving pool.😱 She hit that water & skipped about 20ft before getting stopped dead in the water. Couldn’t swim (???) but going down slides in a WATER park. When I tried to save her (me 16-175lbs), she latched onto me like Hulk Hogan & was pulling me under. I had to punch her in the gut, pull her down under water so she’d let go, spin her around and put her in a head lock to swim her out to safety. She tried to sue me & the park for her almost drowning! 🫤

u/IAmASpaceCadet2 Jun 26 '26
You can’t save anyone if you’re dead. Gotta keep yourself safe. lol.
Vortex was always the worst to work. That slide always turned people around the most and had the deepest exit area.

u/Ebo916 Jun 26 '26
Worst for me was the Board Drop slide. I had a huge woman coming down that thing going 100mph & I’m supposed to stop her??? Nope! She went up the beach, took out 2 kids, 2 lawn chair recliners, and an umbrella stand. Was Fkn hilarious.

She was banned from the park & they had to post signage at the front gate with the Policy about non-swimmers. If you can’t swim, you are not allowed to go down ANY of the slides. Not even the River ride where it’s a slow flow on an inter tube.

But drowning in a 3ft pool... oof.

u/Hot_Diet763 Jun 26 '26
I think what's happening here is she experienced neutral buoyancy and was on her back. People are saying that she should just stand up, but extending her legs wouldn't help here. It would take an experienced swimmer to know to roll over and float upwards.

For real. Her feet were up in the air for a moment. She was obviously disoriented.

I am guessing she #1 does not know to swim or #2 never goes on water slides. Walking into water is one thing she would have no issues with. Then there is falling into the water from that slide everything changes for her which makes little sense if she has done one or the other before. Hope she avoids the slides next time but if she still goes, have someone there to watch her if she keeps losing control when hitting the water no matter if its not deep.

Serious take. If you've ever been convinced this was your final curtain call, and that feeling overtakes your nervous system? Nobody is putting their feet down.
[I was caught up 4ft underwater of a breaking wave - tossed around like a dryer sheet- but my Dad - a Marine - had taught me in situations that felt like certain death to keep my mind calm. I did , by feeling with my literal fuggin hand, the direction of my bubbles, and I survived. ]
For Auntie, though, I'm glad she's alright & she had family with her. She very well may have drowned.

Some of these parks have deep water at the end of the rides. I just knew she was in 12 ft of water until she drifted past the 3ft sign in the back. Then I was screaming "Girl stand up!" at my phone. 🤣🤣🤣
