Do drowning people really cling to something with their hands?

It's true, I've read a forensic article on the distinction between drowning or throwing corpses in water, which explains the characteristics of drowning and the different characteristics of throwing corpses in water, including some special characteristics of drowning people in the water, one of which is that some of the drowning people are clenched with both hands, and some things that may be grasped in their hands, such as aquatic plants, such as wooden blocks, such as sand and gravel on the shore, etc.

However, the article also said that the number of things held by the drowning corpse accounted for about 20% of all drowning people, what does it mean, it shows that in fact, the person who fell into the water and died, it depends on the location of the drowning, if it is in the deep water area far from the shore, then the drowning person is empty-handed, and there will be no object in the hands of the deceased, because there is nothing around for the deceased to grasp.

People who fall into the water basically in addition to their own behavior, other people who accidentally fall into the water want to live, want to live will struggle in the water, in the process of struggling with their hands, want to grab anything that can save their lives, whether it can really save their lives or not, they will catch it with their hands for the first time, this is a physical survival instinct, and if you grab it, you will not let go, and you will not let go until you die.

There is a saying called life-saving straw, which can be said to be a life-saving aquatic weed, the person who falls into the water wants to live, the situation is urgent, the action will be very large, and when you encounter something, you want to catch it, and you feel that you can let yourself live, no matter what kind of aquatic plant or wood block you are, as long as you grasp it, it will be regarded as a life-saving thing, and it is also a kind of helplessness to put your life on these, and you will hold it tightly until you die, which is the persistence of life.

So saving the drowning.

At the time, the head-on rescue is very dangerous and unscientific, because the person who falls into the water will scratch indiscriminately, grasp any life-saving object, and will not let go, and go to rescue the person who falls into the water head-on, it is a dangerous and unscientific practice, many people do not understand the rescue and swim directly to catch the person who fell into the water, and finally not only did not save it, but also put themselves in it and drowned together.

This is also the reason why some people on the shore of a person who fell into the water to save were eventually pulled into the water and died, because the person who fell into the water only wanted to live, as long as he could catch something, he would desperately pull it, and he would not let go if he was killed, so that the rescuer was dragged into the water together by the person who acted indiscriminately, causing him to be held tightly by the person who fell into the water and did not let go and sank to the bottom of the water together, causing death.

So this also explains why some people who have fallen into the water tightly grasp the aquatic plants and branches in their hands, that is, the survival instinct does not let go, and has maintained this fixed posture after death, the way to rescue the person in the water is to swim behind the person who has fallen into the water, hug the person from behind with one hand, and then drag the person to the shore to rescue the shore while swimming, in is the most correct rescue method, many times some people go swimming together, see their companions fall into the water in a hurry, they go directly to the rescue, and finally put themselves in, Just the cause of the most prevalent mass drowning incidents.

Yes, because the drowning person will reach out and grasp everything around him that is visible and invisible, sometimes a vine and sometimes a thorn, just a weed floating on the water, thinking that he has been saved.

Yes, this is a person's reflex when they encounter danger, and when they encounter danger, they will immediately report what can bring safety to themselves.

Drowning people will die, and it is the human instinct to survive by clinging to things around them. When drowning happens, it's like holding on to the last thing to survive.

If he grabs the rescuer and doesn't let go, and the reminder is useless, the drowning person is basically in an unconscious state, whether the rescuer dives into the water or slaps him, the drowning person will subconsciously hold on tightly. It's an instinctive reaction. Unless the drowning person is in a calmer situation, he will let go because he doesn't want to choke on another mouthful of water...

It's not that it is as serious as carrying a knife, but because it takes experience to save people, such as dragging the drowning person from behind, or swimming close to the drowning person and taking a piece of clothing and handing it to him, pulling one head at a time, so the best of both worlds.

And I think it's true, because people who are drowning have a stronger hope of life, and they will use their hands to grasp anything that can get them up or not sink down.

This is a real muddy man, because he is very panicked, so once he finds something to grasp, he will hold on to it. So for the rescuer, be sure to pay attention. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

No, such a statement can be said to be a superstitious act, and there is no evidence for such a practice at all, so you should not believe such a statement.

Yes, the instinct to survive will make him grab everything around him that he can grasp, so at this time, the person who goes to save people should pay special attention, there is a possibility that he will be caught and unable to move, and both of them are in danger.

It's really going to grab something with your hand when you're drowning, and you won't let go all the time, because it's all a human survival instinct.

If you find someone drowning, call the police first, then call 120. At this time, we must remain rational, face it calmly and calmly, and never make decisions blindly. Because of the impulsive approach, in the end it will lead to the situation becoming more serious, not only will the person not be saved, but in the end, he will also catch himself.

In order to avoid missing the best time to rescue, if you find someone drowning and you are not completely sure, do not go into the water to rescue.

Because some people don't have the ability to rescue themselves, but at that time, they forgot because they were in a hurry and immediately jumped into the water. It is very dangerous to go into the water at this time, because the drowning person's desire to survive is very strong, if you go into the water at this time, then the drowning person will desperately grab what he can grasp, and even you will be led into the whirlpool of water.

Even if you know how to swim, you will be dragged into the water at this time. When the body is tired, then it is in danger. And when you find someone drowning, you can shout for help if there are people around, and don't do anything beyond your power.

When you shout for help, you can attract the attention of others, and at this time, there is a lot of power, so that you can better rescue the person who falls into the water. At the same time, some measures can also be taken for the drowning person, put the empty mineral water bottle in a plastic bag and throw it to the drowning person.

Don't throw it away, be sure to remind the drowning person so that the other party can catch the mineral water bottle, so that the other party will not sink. There are many cases of drowning, but because there is no correct rescue method, it is impossible to treat the drowning process. And the impact at this time is also very large, and many people are very heavy when rescuing drowning people.

Everyone wants to save them, but the more anxious they are, the more chaotic they become. Therefore, in the process of rescue, we must keep calm and calm to think about the problem, so that we can give the best solution.

If you find someone drowning, you must call 120 in time, and then give the person artificial respiration and chest compressions for first aid.

At this time, you should call for help in time, ask for help from others, observe things around you, and look for something that can be grabbed by the other party, so that you can drag the person who has fallen into the water to the shore.

At this time, you should shout for help, and then find a dozen people to rescue the drowning man. This is the most correct, if you jump into the lake yourself, there is a good chance that both of you will die.

If you find someone drowning and can't rush into the water to rescue you, you should immediately shout for help, or use lifebuoys, bamboo poles, wooden planks and other objects to throw at the drowning person, and then drag them to the shore.

How to save yourself from drowning.

1. Don't panic, call for help immediately when you find someone around;

2. Relax the whole body, let the body float on the water, float the head out of the water, kick the water with your feet, prevent the loss of physical strength, and wait for rescue;

3. When the body sinks, swim to make a shed, and press the palm down;

4. If you suddenly cramp in the water and can't get to the shore, call for help immediately. If there is no one around, take a deep breath and dive into the water, straighten the leg with the cramp, and pull the toes up with your hand to relieve the cramp.
