Frantic splashing, cries for help, and exaggerated movements are not the true signs of drowning. Those are the exaggerated interpretations of actors dramatizing a scene for Hollywood.
Any kind of exaggerated motion is impossible for someone that's truly drowning. Think about it, when you barely have enough oxygen to survive another 10 seconds, how are you going to find enough energy to splash around?
Solar energy isn't going anywhere for a while either. As long as the sun is still shining, people can keep on harnessing its awesome power.
Inspect the health of your trees, grass, garden and anything else living you may have in your yard. Some lawns may need sod to cover dead spots.
First, make sure your mode of transportation is safe. If you plan on climbing a ladder to your roof, make sure that the ladder is stable and the right height before attempting your climb.
He gathered her into his arms and brought her head safely above water. It was only then that the daughter was finally able to cry out for help with tears in her eyes.
The parents hadn't seen the warning signs because they didn't know what to look for. If the captain hadn't acted when he did, they would have drowned for sure.
Too often people don't know how to recognize the signs. One parent could be five feet from the pool side and another watching while fixing snow brackets on the roof, and neither could see it coming.
Once up and firmly established, have your helper fill a bucket with the tools you'll need (solar racking, brushes, drills, etc.) and pull it up with a rope. Try not to ascend with anything in your hands.
Take each of these steps and spread them out over several weekends. Don't think that you have to run the whole marathon at once, especially with little to no training over the past 3 or 4 months.
Don't climb steep portions. Have the pros do that, even if you have the best shoes in the industry.
Second, the body's natural response to drowning is to extend your arms laterally and press down on the surface. It's the natural way to bring your head above water.
The rest of the body remains perpendicular to the water's surface. There is no flailing or thrashing, just slight movements to save a life.
Third, there doesn't seem to be a supporting kick below. The bottom half of the body goes still. Some other things to look for include: head low in the water, mouth at or below water level; head tilted back and mouth open; glassy eyes and empty; eyes closed; appear to be climbing a ladder; trying to swim but not getting anywhere; trying to roll over onto back and not using legs. The quiet times are the deadliest.
Practice safety when clambering around on your roof. Your life is worth so much more than the cost of hiring a professional to come maintain your solar brackets and anything else you need to do up there.
