This is a link post Drowning
Its not what it looks like in the movies...

"The new captain jumped from the cockpit, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the owners who were swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach...."

amazing, I never knew this. I have a bit of a fear of drowning so try to stay away from water, and only paddle in the sea.

This is a normal post For those who didn't read the comments:
Here's a video of the things to look for. Kinda creepy, I live in a seaside town and I see hundreds of people in the sea every week in summer.
Think I'll steer clear of the beach from now on...

This is a normal post Very interesting!
My parents go sailing all the time so I've passed this along. Perhaps they should put instructions up on beaches (if they haven't already- I haven't noticed any) on how to spot this.

I'd have thought it was the way off the telly too and would be no help if someone was doing it in front of me! What a horrid thought.

This is a normal post When I was about 6 or 7
I went swimming in my local pool. I thought "can't be that hard" so I took off my arm bands.

Next thing I knew, I was only fackin drowning, weren't I *rollseyes*
But then, my life was saved by a HUGE titted lady.
She held me tight, her boobies felt soft and lovely.
The end.

This is a normal post Excellent and worthy.
There's a long list of things that don't match the expectations people have from TV and movies. Most rape victims (victims of violent crime in general) don't fight and struggle, and most rapists don't need to use too much real force, just the implied threat is enough. Most muggers/robbers aren't directly violent. People's reaction to trauma (loved one dying, house burning down, car accident etc) vary considerably.
The first thing we are built for is survival, and our survival instincts are often counter intuitive, something well articulated by this article.
