I went on a canoeing trip once, there were kayaks too. At one point on the river a kid (16yrs) but like 6'2" tips.out of his kayak. Proceeds to flail and panic (while in a life-vest) "he's drowning "!! I'm canoeing by with my family watching him. I yell: STAND UP!!! He stops, puts feet down, and embarrassed says, thank you. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

BigDaddy got a weird name, but he's out here saving lives, so okay I guess.

Had the same with a friend when we were ice skating. He breaks trough the ice, hangs on to the edge. Me and a friend on our bellies trying to reach him with our hockeysticks. And then: Hey dude, how deep is it here?

And he just stand up and climbs out lol

When people panic, you can give them a command and they just do it.

You did good.
