I'm guessing she probably panicked. When you are in a full blown panic, the simplest of things can be impossible to do. |

I almost drowned once and probably came close another time . The first time I got knocked semi-conscious and I calmly thought "Oh no, no here. Not like this.". Kinda like ![]() The second time was in a 10ft deep whirlpool in the Rogue River. I was at the bottom and was fighting with everything in me to get to the surface with the current resisting me. Then, when I did hit the surface, I came up under the raft so I could not get any air and the current sucked me right back down. This happened 2 or 3 times. I probably had about 5 seconds left before I would have passed out and be sucked down to the bottom of the whirlpool if I couldn't get some air. Just when I was about to be 'done', something ANIMAL came exploding out of me. It was unthinking. Unblinking. Pure ANIMAL. P-A-N-I-C M-O-D-E I had definitely passed the point of even the possibilty of any kind of calm, deliberate or rational thinking. I thought afterward, "So, that is the Survival Instinct!". |
