  1. I swam my way out of a rip tide at 16 in California. If you know about those waves, and strength of the pull, whew boy. I was with my BFF and at first I was panicking and swimming against. I never fought so hard in my life. She was like swim parallel!! And glad to live to tell the tale. And I was always a great swimmer, can't imagine someone who doesn't swim well.

  2. The hypothermia thing also applies to reptiles, in a way. If you have a reptile that got shipped to you, or something else happens, and it's cold, DON'T immediately put it in a very warm environment because this can potentially send it into shock and kill it. Especially after it has just been shipped, shock could kill it. Reptiles can handle certain stressful events but when they stack up, it can easily get deadly.

  3. For hypothermia, it's best to share body heat to help warm someone up! It's recommended that heat be transferred through skin to skin contact so removing clothes and using a thermal blanket/clothes to cover up.

  4. That last one for sure is true I almost drowned when I was a kid the current was taking me and I swear my guardian angel must have helped because I don't know how I knew to swim sideways I was only 10 but I did it and it saved my life.

  5. I was caught in a riptide (I was saved and was holding a boogie board i was totally fine) and I tried going sideways but it wasnt doing anything. Can somone explain what I should do next time?

  6. Hey doctoryoun I saw your video where you said jack was lying about people getting killed more by vending machines than sharks but actually he wasn’t lying it was true about 1050 people die from vending machines because when a snack gets stuck the person bangs on the thing hoping that the snack will fall but instead the vending machine falls because of it not being supported up enough by the surroundings and underneath. Have a nice day everyone 😉

  7. I live along the beach and you will often see the square waves when their is a riptide. The reason people don't realize it is becuase the waves are very flat and small and everything looks perfectly safe and you will walk further and further out until you get about chest high and then you can't swim back in. Swimming parallel to shore is the key, but don't panic the current can sometimes take you a good distance before you are swept back inward and the tide is in your favor. NEVER SWIM IN THE OCEAN WITHOUT A LIGHGAURD ON DUTY. Every year people drown in my area bc they swim at night or when lifeguards are off duty.
