Aspiring doctor brain dead after friends pushed him into lake knowing he can’t swim

https://nypost.com/2024/05/04/us-news/louisiana-aspiring-doctor-christopher-gilbert-left-brain-dead-after-friends-push-him-in-lake-to-drown/

An aspiring medical student was left brain dead last month when his friends pushed him into a Louisiana lake knowing he couldn’t swim — and then looked on while doing nothing to save the drowning man, according to a report.

Shocking video shows the group casually peering into the water moments after they shoved Christopher Gilbert off the dock at Lake D’Arbonne in Farmerville on April 14.

At least one woman can be seen slowly entering the water before abandoning the rescue mission.

It was another 10 minutes before a patron at a nearby restaurant intervened and yanked Gilbert back to land — just in the nick of time.

Why didn't he just hold his breath and float on his back? I taught a scared 7 year old girl to swim in two one hour lessons. Lesson one is always that, hold your breath and float on your back. Works every time and helps eliminate that panic reaction. Gives you a safe position while in the water to work off of or go back to rest to.

So why is a doctor who's allegedly smart not able to know how floating works? A 7 year old girl figured it out after 10 minutes of me explaining it. She was white though so maybe that's why.

>>16162535
It's called holding your breath, it makes you positively buoyant. It's called "SCIENCE". Unless you have 0-3% body fat you will float. Body builders are legit the only people with an excuse, hard for them to float.

Does that fact that negroes can't swim suggest that the simple and seemingly innocent H2O molecule is actually deeply racist? You can't blame negroes' lack of swimming ability on the negroes themselves because as we know, all races are equal and whites can swim, so that means that negroes can also swim equally well, so it seem like water being racist is the only remaining explanation for the discrepancy in the negroes' propensity for drowning.

Just hold your breath and make your SURFACE AREA as large as possible. Spread out your arms and legs. You want to increase buoyancy via holding your breath and you need to increase surface displacement to promote floating. Like I said it's literally basic bitch science that any scientist should understand. If you drown you simply are not a scientist. Unless you are a body builder scientist and then you should be smart enough to know you sink like a rock.

I was a teenage lifeguard and we used to run drills where one guard sinks to the bottom of the 12 foot and plays dead. Other guard as to swim down and pluck him off the bottom and take the "victim" up on a shallow incline path to keep the C-spine from bending and possibly further injuring the person. It was a simulated diving board accident. The only person we had trouble with was a short dude with 3% body fat. He worked out 7 days a week lifting and even the lifeguard instructor had issues lifting him off the 12 foot bottom. He was the perfect storm of short and dense.

In conclusion any "scientist" would have observed aquatic animals in the past, like a frog, and possibly imitate it's arms and leg movements. This would get one 70% of the way to knowing how to swim. Enough to not drown at least. Like I said in my first post, I taught a little girl afraid of the water to swim in two one hour sessions. By the end she had a basic understanding of all four major strokes, freestyle, breast, back, and even tried butterfly stroke. Humans have also been shown to have similar diving reflexes to other aquatic mammals. Kids can learn to swim like a whale using butterfly kick quite easily. Once the basics are learned and fear is gone most children can become capable swimmers in a few weeks or at most a summer. At that point it's just building muscle tone more then technique.

She was half native America actually. The above is what she was afraid of so being a REAL MAN and a GOOD MAN I told her that was never going to happen. I told her:
>Tomorrow we will go to the apartment complex pool and I will teach you to swim, I was a lifeguard and when I am done with you drowning will be impossible.
She was scared and doubted me, as a child of a single whore mother she'd heard many lies by men hungry for pussy before.....but she had hope in her eyes.

And that's exactly what happened. I taught the little girl to swim, took two hours of my life and she was on a long adventure of a lifetime with the water. Never again did she have to live in fear of dying from walking too close to water.

I'm not here to say people don't visit these things for recreation. Point is its not something the average person experiences. Not every city has a lake or stream in close proximity, and even less that are safe/used for recreation. And the ones that do, are definitely not used by the majority of a city's inhabitants. You go out of your way to visit areas like this, they are not part of daily life. The initial anon asks how someone can go 20+ years avoiding water, but the answer is obviously you're not going to encounter situations where swimming is a necessity unless you're Polynesian or looking for it.

Half the world lives in urban areas where you're unlikely to find a good place to swim outside of pools/water parks, plus most of the world lives in third world shitholes where you aren't going to be swimming in lakes and streams because they're likely to be filled with shit that kills you or heavily polluted. All of this is a roundabout way of saying that the initial anon's question is retarded, because I guarantee you there are more people on earth who can't swim than can. Proper swimming areas are a luxury, so of course many will still learn, but during the course of your life in any modern society, you should never encounter a situation where you *need* to swim outside of a freak accident.

And along with the lakes and streams, there's a reason why I didn't mention beaches. Many people do activities in these areas without knowing how to swim. Especially beaches, it's not a requirement.

I'm that Anon, yeah I grew up in a tiny village with lakes nearby and my parents took me swimming weekly, but we were also forced to swim in school.
Anyway, I think even the biggest hoodrat will have been in a situation where they were in close proximity to a pool or any other body of water and this guy was an academic, no way he never went to the beach.
>obviously you're not going to encounter situations where swimming is a necessity
And this is what I simply don't understand. Drowning is the leading cause of death for little kids, it's borderline suicidal to think that swimming isn't an absolutely essential, lifesaving skill. You don't even need to "seek it out", what if you see some kid drowning at the beach? And this guy was about to become a physician...
Like yes, riding a bicycle or tying my shoes is also not a requirement but it sure as hell helps tremendously in my daily life and as I said, swimming being a life vs death situation makes it more important for my wellbeing. And if your parents neglected these needs, as an intellectual (or any grown human desu) you need to come to this conclusion yourself, go to the fucking pool twice and be done with it.
There is a fear factor for sure which leads to poors and their kids never learning how to swim but come on man. At some point you need to elevate yourself, "it's not required" is some idiot student's excuse.
I don't get why there are no compulsory swimming lessons in schools.
