Do you think you can just jump into water without having the technique of saving a drown victim?
Even if you know how to swim and you dont have the skills, both of you might eventually die.
You as a rescuer should never try holding the victim face to face. You should grab the victim from behind and swim to safety with the other hand or legs.
In a nut shel dont allow the victim to grab/hold you else both of might die.

I remember when I was learning how to swim and I was hanging at the edge of the 8 feet region. a small girl jumped in and started drowning. don't know what entered me but rushed to save her. as soon as I touched her she grabbed me and tried to climb on me.I went straight down.I can never forget standing at the bottom of the pool,loosing air and staring up at her and wondering was this how I was going to die.till now don't know how I jumped to the edge of the pool and pulled her to the edge. in the end the lifeguard had to save both of us,was too tired to move.
never jump into water if you don't know how to swim
Re: Can You Jump Into A River To Save A Stranger Who Tries To Commit Suicide? by AroOkigbo(m): 9:14pm On Dec 04, 2012
I can because I know the technique.
However, I'll first ask for his/her consent.
Re: Can You Jump Into A River To Save A Stranger Who Tries To Commit Suicide? by Clemzy16(m): 9:16pm On Dec 04, 2012
Yes i can. I'll jump inside the river, give the person involved two dirty clap, then leave him to drowned. Hurray!

Re: Can You Jump Into A River To Save A Stranger Who Tries To Commit Suicide? by InvertedHammer: 10:42pm On Dec 04, 2012
Why bother?

If I finally save him/her...will it solve the problems why he/she wanted to jump in the first place. In some countries, attempted
suicide is a crime that yields time in jail...woe betide you if you owe the government any taxes.

I remember one time in northern California, one person like that dey do gragra say im wan jump.
After causing traffic hold up, the people couldn't take it any longer and started cheering the omo on--

jump! jump!! jump!!!

Hoping she would get it over with, so that they could continue with their commute. Sad but true.

Saving a drowning person isnt as easy as it looks, there are many things to put into consideration. If such a person is struggling, a rescue attempt might be suicidal too. I know dis.
Besides, i dnt have to dive in... I can drop in a lng rope or wood... I wld jst drag d person out--reducing d probable casuality 4 certain.
Re: Can You Jump Into A River To Save A Stranger Who Tries To Commit Suicide? by jimctu: 10:50pm On Dec 04, 2012

chidyke77: Rescuing a drowning person is nt an easy task u cn just embark on, learning hw to swim is very easy compare to rescue. So, pls dnt practice that if ur nt a good swimmer b4 u bcome a victim too.
