What Really Happens To Your Body When You Drown? 

I've learned more here than I do in class..

I almost died in a rip, I was saved by a hippie you'd think I'm joking but no, a hippie actually saw me drowning and saved me, I'm not afraid of the water I still love it

Drowning is without a doubt one of the worst ways to die

I had a near death experience with drowning when I was 13. The first 3-5 seconds are the most terrifying since your brain tells you to do everything possible to survive so you panic sooo much that you feel your heart is gonna get out of your chest... but if you let go of yourself embrace the fact that you are going to die and fighting it will just make your death miserable it actually turns out to be a bliss, a very wonderful experience (ironic ee?) ... I remember once I was out of the water i was cursing everyone and all the world for they brought me back from the most amazing state of mind I ever experienced in my life...Dying in a very ironic way was the best feeling everr, the mos peaceful state of mind, but I think that happened because i stopped after 5 sec fighting so my brain relaxed and I was in a very meditated state of mind until my foot hit a huge rock as I was reaching rock bottom and that rock pulled me in the surface... But the experience itself was unique. not that you should wish to die or that you actually want death but death itself is not frightening, keeping yourself from it, is.

I almost drowned. I was trying to get a pool toy at the bottom of a deep pool. It seemed like I would never get out. My eyes were open. I only saw sky blue.

You become a fish and start breathing water :D

I almost died from drowning and no one helped me, luckily I did get out but I nearly fainted (*I CANT SWIM*) I could have been dead if I didn't keep trying😪

Shower time, brushing my teeth, drinking and washing my hands is the ONLY time I get in contact with water.🤣

*Goes into ocean Sees fish* Me: THE FISH IS DROWNING!

Jack: Rose, if you're going to take up the whole door for yourself, can I at least have the life jacket?

Can you make a video about teleporting?

What happens? *Easy. You hear the sonic drowning theme.*

Can you do a video about how the human body dies when you ask a girl out and she says no?

As an actual lifegaurd I can assure you drowning, no matter the age, is not at all how it is depicted in the movies. I won't go into depth over the officially recognized stages, but if the person can still produce speech they're "struggling", not drowning. of course they may need assistance but we won't initiate emergency protocols because the victim is still receiving oxygen and is not in any life threatening distress, yet. as long as we do our job correctly no situation ever escalates past this stage. A drowning victim, means a bad lifegaurd.

I almost died when I was 6 years old, I was so excited to go to the pool I snuck out of the dining thingy and I was the only one there at the pool. I slowly went down the staircase and when I "thought" I hit the floor of the pool, I jumped right in and drank what felt like 9383282 liters of water. I luckily held on to the wall and vommited right after, lesson learned : don't go to the pool if you're short.

So, we were at the beach and it was a relatively nice day, so we decide to go in the water for a bit. We went about a mile out (the water was pretty shallow for about a mile) when we suddenly realised we were being pulled out further by the sea. The feeling of the salty water slowly rise up to my eyes a mile away from the coast is something ill never forget. So we were scrambling about in the water (none of us are great swimmers), but we managed to fight the current and get into shallower waters, about 8 pints of salt water later. I screamed and screamed and screamed at the top of my lungs as i grabbed onto my friend who started to go under the water letting out whimpers of terror. For some reason i was screaming for an ambulance, even though ambulances do not go in the water, and furthermore, we were in the middle of the sea with not a mobile phone or person for miles around. The things you say when youre staring death in the face are honestly comical. Somehow we got to a point where we could walk on thw seabed, and we all ran as fast as we could back to the shore We were all shaking for about 20 minutes later. Certainly something i wont ever forget. Edit: We are all 16 if anyone wonders.

yea... i nearly drowned before, here's the story.. i was at a public swimming pool with my friends and I could hardly swim. My friends knew that but still decided to carry on swimming to the deep end and I went with them. I was in the middle of the pool and in that moment I forgot how to swim... Everyone was just staring at me flopping around trying to grasp some air to shout for help but all I could get put was a tiny squeak 😑 Until I remembered I can swim on my back and swam onto a float ( nearly drowning one of my other friends who knew how to swim and tried to help me) . i Got pulled to the side and got sent to the kiddy pool 😂 I can still remember that one of my friends training for life guard duty at the time didn't help but laughed at me in the corner of the pool 😒

Hello anxiety my old friend

When I was younger probably 5 (this was pre-school) we went on a field trip to a lake I was having fun with my friends at first one was a girl named Mc Kenzie, I went too far and literally started going down i was panicking, I was thinking ‘I can’t believe I’m gonna die..’ then the girl came and saved me, we never told anyone, but I never stopped saying thank you too her. If your reading this Mc Kenzie thank you for saving me life.

My grandfather nearly died from drowning. When he was drowning, he says it was very calm. Thankfully before he drowned, his friends were able to pull him out.

I almost drowned to death in a wave pool a year ago. The life guard didnt even save me...mother did.

When you have "that one friend" who accidentaly almost drowns you _friendship is magic_

About to go swimming

My anatomy teacher told me, that when some people drown they start to freak out at first, but eventually when they can't hold their breath anymore, they inhale, and calm down because it feels like they can breath underwater, and as their lungs fill with water, they pass out, and die peacefully, as they're unconscious He had some proof of this, from some people that didn't die, but experienced the feeling of "breathing" under water, and calmness

As a person who nearly drowned once, they forgot to mention the horrible part that happens before you start to drown. (I realize this video is about the actual drowning process though) The struggle. You're aware through the entire thing, trying with all of your strength to keep afloat, but it's a losing battle. You become more panicked as you become more deprived of oxygen, eventually resorting to flailing wildly with your arms to get a single gasp of air. Until you eventually can't keep flailing anymore and just...give up. Tired and horrified, you accept your fate. It's a horrible death that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Luckily my friends managed to save me a couple of seconds after I gave up.

i almost drowned once when i was either 7 or 8. i couldn’t scream for help and it was difficult to breathe also, and i was flapping my hands to keep afloat but i didn’t knew what exactly to do at that time. my mind was alert and i held onto my sisters hair, grabbed it and pulled her shoulder so i could ‘hug’ her. i think i was a bit traumatized by that :/

I have a phobia of water, always have and will. Now I'm even more afraid...

Watched titanic yesterday. There was enough room on that door for both of them.

Hello human friends! Thanks for watching! Make sure to turn on notifications so you never miss an upload! I have a special treat for you later this week 😘

Weird just before I watched this I finished watching the titanic I love watching it over again

What happens if you drink salt water from the ocean?

losing my consciousness or dying due to a lack of breath scares me the most. This is mostly because in 7th grade I was jumped and strangled and I have asthma. I've never felt safe in the pool since.

Why does time pass by faster when we're in a hurry?

When I was drowning I was feeling like it's a dream water was all over my mouth and at last I thought to give up but I don't how I came to the surface and my friend pushed me and I was saved

I once thought that cardiac arrest is when you get a heart attack while you are being arrested ;-; EDIT: No seriously, I once thought that. When I was five years old... This wasn't supposed to be a joke.. EDIT 2: Oh well. At least I get 400 likes :D EDIT 3: Yesterday, It had 493 likes. Now 498?! What?!

I came here after Naya Rivera’s alleged drowning. The whole situation seemed a bit fishy to me so I came for knowledge. No pun intended.

I once drowned in a 3ft pool on the stairs my mom pulled me out by my hair so I guess I'm lucky

how i imagine deep water whales,sharks,water dinasours,oktapods,end imaginary scary creatures

well my experience with drowning goes like... at first im panicing and after a while of not breathing... everything just starts to become calm and peaceful, makes me feel like i dont need to breath anymore. idk if its really terrifying like everyone else calls it, but i think its actually kind of nice...

People need to realize that people that know how to swim can drown and stop writing conspiracies about Naya in the comments.

Do What is the highest speed a human can go

next time I go to the pool I'm going to be like "and I look fantastic in my floaties". 😂😂😂😑

I am scared of humans they drank My cousin Ajax those monsters

Who's here after Naya Rivera is presumed to have drowned

Life noggin said to use those pool toys? Well I once used it but instead it made me flip over and almost drown.

Life Noggin,you never fail me with your videos :)

I have a fear of drowning , thanks to explain.

Once I accidentally went into the deep end of a pool, didnt know how to swim and I was really short, thankfully I had a friend who knew how to swim, i grabbed on to her (i was drowning) and then I got back to the shallow end. That was scary...

What is the maximum distance from which you survive if you fall on your legs?

What happens to your Body when you drown? It stops working

Make a video on how long does it take for our lungs to fill with water

Im accually self-taught at swimming. And part "fish"

What happens to your body when it is being burned?

u should do a video of what happens when ur on fire!!??

0:30 i just sat underwater forgetting how to go back up to the surface. Lol

A while ago, in my best friend's pool, I kind of lost balance in the water, and started to drown. I wanted to yell for help, but I couldn't because my brain knew if I opened my mouth, it would fill with water. I tried my best to swim and managed to get to the edge of the pool, that happened to be nearby. Definitely thankful to be alive.

my dad is a cardiologist and he got a guy in a while back that had suffered a heart attack, fell into super cold water (not quite freezing), and nearly drowned. someone dragged him out of the water and got him to the hospital in time though. he was in the water face down for about a 3 or 4 minutes or something before being pulled out but suffered no brain damage.

Instead of classes being an hour long why don’t we just watch one of these videos and take a test on it. Easy and simple

I once saved a little girl from drowning

Near-Drown Survivor here, I almost drowned once when I jumped into the pitch black and empty ocean knowing I couldn't swim, water entered my body through my mouth, my nose and my ears. I almost lost consciousness, the feeling of dying through drowning was actually peaceful and euphoric, lets just say that this kind of death is actually beautiful.. its like passing away in your own sleep. first you panic, second you try to evade death, third you realize that this is actually peaceful, fourth you accept death, fifth you die. but I was lucky enough to be rescued by one of my friends.. was a very traumatic experience, I have never looked at the ocean the same way as I used to.

" how lucky we are to be alive" DOES HE LIKE HAMILTON

Oh you stay afloat if you can swim.. if you can't you drown underwater not on top of it.

There was this one time i was only 8 and it was my first time going on a real zip line.......then my wire got tangled ........ I was terrified , because the zip line was taller than a 3 story house and i was stuck at the highest part, gee I didn't go on another real zip line for a very long time and when i got stuck IT WAS RAINING. When everyone was finished the person said "Who wants to take the wire off first ?" And i was shivering with fear and everyone said maybe her because she looks really scared. When my sister went down (my only sister) i began to cry on her but not out loud because my younger cousins were with me ....... Comment your terrifying story here 😊✌️

I almost drowned when I was five in the deep end, I didn’t know how to swim yet, and I literally could not scream. The most I could do was breathe out loudly, your body literally takes away your respiratory system from you, its a extremely weird trippy feeling. Eventually I couldn’t tread anymore so I just breathed in and I dropped to the bottom. Once I hit the bottom I used the ground to try and shoot back up. I hit my face on the pool wall but I grabbed the wall. Its crazy because for the next five minutes my vocal chords felt glued shut, it was so slow and quiet, the feeling of staring someone in the eyes, not being able to yell, and just feeling the water come up over you uncontrollably is just a unique feeling I cant explain. I love swimming and im really good at it, and I do swim the deep end at my local pool (13ft) but its a sense of fear I get when feeling the water get colder, you can feel the way the water moves across your feet so you know its getting deeper, you have to really maintain control of your thoughts as not to panic. Its easy to panic, because when you do, you forget everything, how to swim, everything and you just turn back to that helpless kid again. I learned drown proofing since, that way Im not completely out of options when im unable to tread water any longer.

If you see this I'm talking about 1:52. My mom says the same thing they could have monevered their way to both get on the pice of wood or react idk what it is

What happens if you get shot

:/ drowning and burning have got to be the worst deaths ever

My brother drowned at the age of 10 when he tried to swim out deeper in a lake. He wasn't found for three days and family members weren't encouraged to look at him when he was found. Closed casket funeral. Mom never got over it.

I'm afraid of water, but only the sea. There's fish poop there.

**In the water** *Sees fish* Gets heart attack.

I almost drowned when I was little once and it was actually pretty peaceful. At first I was screaming for help and trying to reach the surface but no one cloud hear me and I couldn't get to the surface. When I ran out of oxygen I just floated to the bottom of the pool peacefully and blacked out. Thankfully I woke up by the pool side.

I’m here because of the Naya Rivera drowning. I finished watching the press conference and the sheriff said that the boat they were on had ladders on the boat. If she was able to get her son back in the boat, couldn’t she have held onto the boat or the ladder somehow?

interesting next time I drown I'll know what's happening

When I was little I almost drowned and the lifeguards did not care I had to scream as loud as I could to call my sister now I don't want to learn to swim or go in deep water now

Thanks if I drown, I will think of this whole process

i died once,, got drown in the pool, 7 minutes under water, 2 minutes of struggling to breathe and 5 minutes of being dead,, my experiences when I experience death 1. You will hear a loud noise, but your the only one who can hear it. Cause after they've saved me, i ask them if they hear a loud noise, and said, no there isn't, the noise i hear is loud ringing and whistles... is like when you dive very far from the ocean, river or pool, you can hear it in your head or if you encounter zero sounds in the night, when the night is very silent, 2. In phase 2 the noises will be gone and it will replace by a very calm and silent state and Your vision will be completely gone, it's like your are in space without stars or in the very deep of the ocean,, you will experience a complete blackout. 3. You will experience the true peace, it's like, you will like to stay there forever, like you are a non existing nobody, you have no functioning mind and emotion,, you're not worrying about anything or you don't care what's gonna happen to you and just wanna stay there and rest forever. Like you are floating or lying in the clouds.. 4. It feels like you're still breathing,, this is real,, cause i remember after being saved and wondering,,how come that I'm able to breathe again after drowning or being dead underwater? That's why I've figured out that,, my spirit is the one that breathing while in the state of being dead,, it's not my body who's been breathing it's my spirit,, that way i understand that, there is a life in death.. And after that I've become a Christian after reading the Rapture,, if you've come this far after reading my comment I've suggest you to research what's Rapture is,, you can watch in youtube to find out what rapture is, I've suggest you that cause that is the extension of my comment,,

One time when I was in 4th grade, my class went on a swimming Feild trip. So I was under the water for a while, and I was getting ready to come back up for a breath. But, right as I was coming up, a group of kids had one of those big floaties mat thingies, and I got stuck under it. I couldn't get back up, until maybe a minute later. But it was scary, because under water I had a panic attack, and I couldn't breathe, of course. spooky 😖

I really love your videos! I follow "kurzgesagt in a nutshell's" videos, and love them and was looking for more of that style. That's when I found you! Thanks for the awesome educational content.

k... so I haven't watched the vid yet. is the answer... you run out of oxygen? ._.

my friend died drowning, i am watching this before going to the crematory. rip samuel

Once my family went to the river and I saw my cousin jumping in the water and I didn't know it was deep and I jumped and I drowned for 49 seconds until this lady pulled me out I was so thankful but also scared

I saved my brother from drownding we were at the pool and he fell in without his floaties so I jumped in and saved him it was really scary but I am glad he is alive

I recently had a climbing accident and i fell ( what the climbing instructor said was ) ~20ft. So I was wondering how high of a fall could you withstand before permanent damage/fatal damage? ( depending on what body part you land on, of course )

Omg poor Naya ❤Love from Australia🇦🇺

SUCH A GENIUS 😭😭😭👏👏👏

also when you get hypothermia you feel warm then you will most likely die. •_•

What you've said in this video is very true. I've nearly drowned when I was about 12 in a public pool about 5 meters deep or more. Basically I couldn't touch the bottom. Me and my friends thought of doing something really stupid. We all held hands together a bit far away from the sides where you can hold on. Anyway we found out we couldn't hold ourselves up so we all let go and started gasping for air we were all climbing up on each other trying to reach the side so at least one of us could pull us over but there were too many people covering over the sides and I nearly gave up. I thought it was over I was so tired from trying to breathe and hold myself up. I was too tired to swim and I had swallowed a bit of water. I couldn't see cause there was water in my eyes from everyone else splashing. My friend pulled me over and we started to laugh and I have no idea why cause it was terrifying.

I was 7 at the time when I fell into our dirty town river.I started downwards and now underwater I had no idea how tosave myself.I then felt myself rising to the surface.Many faces looking much yelling and then down I went again in the dirty water and a few seconds later I was rising to the surface.this time on top of water a big difference.just to my right I saw a young boy and he was pushing an old fence paling toward me.I grasped that paling and the quick thinking boy pulled me to shore.I am 80 now and on countless days I thank that young man for my last 73 yrs

Hey Life Noggin, I have a Large fear of The open void, Such as the Sea, A place I can freely move around But I don't quite know my surroundings, I'm absolutely terrified of the sea and I don't know why

I lost a good friend due to drowning last year... he was 15...

Noggin: "BUT HEY THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM ON THAT DOOR!" Me: *goes to everyone who said there wasn't anymore room and yeets them out to space* I TOLD YA SO >:(

No oxygen=dead Boom. Next question.

I ALMOST DROWNED IN A 4 FEET POOL AND IM TALLER THAN THAT NO WONDER I NEVER GOT A GREEN BAND AT THE YMCA ALL I HAD WAS A YELLOW BAND

You'll float to🎈

I closed my eyes, I relaxed while floating in the sea, I opened my eyes, and I was so far, futher than the limit of all the other people, it all happened when I was 12, and the depth was atleast 6 feet, I was scared to death. Long story short, The good thing was that I am tall, and pretty much jumped little by little to the sea shore (to the beach), but while in the water, the water was above my head a few inches when I was just standing

I cant believe what Shad Went through RIP man :(

gonna try it out

I am PETRIFIED of water. I had a near fatal drowning incident in a pool at a water park when I was 4 years old and I cant even take a bath since. I can manage a shower but can't allow the water to run down my face. It absolutely traumatises me. I tried for several years growing up to learn to swim and overcome my fear and I have never been able to. I will never understand peoples desire to enter the water voluntarily lol I have come to terms with the fact that I will always be a land lover and I am completely okay with that. I should have been due to fly to England a few weeks ago on my first flight in 19 years and even the thought of flying over the ocean was taking everything I had to prepare for. Im unsure if I would have been able to go through with it. Surely someone else out there is as afraid of the water as I am? 😅
