deadly swimming pools!?

You know you are a bad thread maker when:

 

 

 

you rely on other people to start the discussion on your own thread.

I think I know how the girl had her intestines ripped out, she was swimming near the drain and her behind got sucked into the drain and it slowly pulled out her intestines. :-k :-X :shock:

I know it sucks, but can it blow? :XD:

 

 

 

Seriously now, his/her intestines were sucked out and now he/she has to 'eat' out of a fricken straw? That's terrible. Info if his/her parent(s) sued the pool owner things? :uhh:

Eh, better than being like me- trying to be the only discussion on the threads I make :-w .

I think what he's talking about (and this happened to another kid many years ago) was

 

some little girl sat on the drain of a swimming pool, and the amount of water pressure

 

pushing down on the drain was enough to suck the girl's intestines out through her anus.

 

 

 

It's very rare, but this does happen. The first kid I heard of it happening to died (drowned,

 

but almost certainly would've died anyway), and it sounds like this little girl would almost

 

be better off dead ...

 

 

 

 

 

Think of how much water is in a pool, then consider that water weighs something like 8/10

 

lbs. per gallon. I think it's actually the weight of all that water being sucked into the drain.

 

 

 

 

 

A 10 inch by 10 inch square drain has 100 inches of area, and an Olympic size swimming

 

pool holds about 650,000 gallons of water, and at 8.3 lbs per gallon, that's something like

 

50,000 psi of pressure on the drain. I guess there'd be more than one drain, but let's

 

imagine this fictional swimming pool has only one.

 

 

 

The effect of all this weight is, let's say you are standing at the edge of a cliff, and someone

 

has tied a 50,000 lb (22,727 kilos) weight to your anus, or perhaps your large intestine,

 

and then that person drops the 50,000 lb weight off the cliff.

 

 

 

For those of you who said it can't happen, think again. :XD:

 

 

 

What a way to die ... O_o

Thats the same thing I said, but more technical.

:lol: Sounds painful, but I still laughed my arse of when I read it.
