Would You Know How To Tell If Someone Was Drowning? It’s Not As Easy As You Might Think

Playing in the pool, hitting the surf, water skiing at the lake… summer fun is here and I plan to enjoy every minute! Not to put a damper (pun intended) on the water play, but did you know that drowning does not look the way you think it might? This is such important information which is why I post it every summer.

Drowning is quiet. It is not often obvious that the person is in distress. There isn’t all the splashing we see in movies. When someone is drowning, they make very little noise or no noise at all because they are trying to breath.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning, by marine safety specialist, Mario Vittone is a very helpful article. In it, he talks about what drowning really does look like, signs to watch out for and what to do.

“It is the number two cause of accidental death in children, age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents) — of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In ten percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening…”

You really can’t take your eyes off of your kids for even a minute. Drowning victims are typically unable to speak or wave their arms for help so you must be aware of what’s going on in the water at all times.

Water safety is crucial, it takes only a few short minutes for someone to drown. Even the strongest swimmer is at risk when someone pushes him in or jumps on top of him.

Check out his article, it’s valuable information we can all need to know, particularly this time of year. Please share this post on Facebook & Twitter, Pin it & forward it to everyone you know who has kids, keep them safe this summer!

Do You Have A Fire Safety Plan & The Right Type Of Smoke Alarms In Your Home?

Temperatures reach 500 degrees within 3  –  4 minutes & 1000 degrees within 8

In the event of a fire in your home, do you have a fire safety plan in place? Jeff Rossen did a very important investigation for the Today Show that will help you come up with a good plan for your family. I was surprised by his findings.

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Do you have the right type of smoke alarm? Fire alarms that are typically used in most homes do not always work properly, if at all.

The most popular type of smoke alarm uses ionization technology, 90% of the homes in America have them.

The ionization technology works well in a fire with fast flames but they don’t always sound fast enough in a fire that starts with smoldery smoke.

These types of fires can fill your home with toxic gases while you sleep and this alarm goes off when it’s already too late.

60 – 80% of victims die from smoke and chemical inhalation, not burns

Texas A & M scientist Don Russell has performed hundreds of tests that proves this. He has found that smoke detectors using photo electric technology work far faster in a smokey fire. Tests run by the government also show that they go off much sooner in a smokey fire.

The ionization detector went off 20 minutes later and in many fires, people would not be able to get out safely at that point. In some real life cases, the ionization detector never even went off and people parished.

Companies primarily sell the ionization detectors because they cost less money to make. Russell says they will only respond when the government pressures them.

In the mean time, if you want to keep your family as safe as possible, experts recommend installing a photo electric detector in addition to the one that uses ionization technology or install a duel detector that uses both technologies.

With the holidays upon us this is a good idea. Lots of fires are started because of holiday lights, candles and such. Remember that tragedy in New York a few Christmases ago? A mom lost all 3 of her children and her parents in a house fire. Devastating.

Paint Your Thumb Red & Stop Texting While Driving

#Redthumbreminder

Why paint your thumb red? It’s a simple but effective way to remind yourself that texting while you drive is absurd. It’s distracted driving to the 10th degree.

Check out how this dad came up with a simple and cool idea that will potentially save lives (be sure to protect yourself from the most harmful chemicals that are found in most polish formulations and use a nail polish brand that is 5 free)…
