static apnea blackout

[ballastbelly]

this story is an eye opener , that in company of attentive friends, in probably a shallow crystal clear pool, with ambulance service only minutes away,  that it was not able to survive this. 

Be extra careful ppl

alija nista najd li dan kien jkun ahjar kieku semmejtu, tragedja ohra bla bzonn. Accedents jigru pero static apnea bhal dawn tkun qed tigbed wisq il qafla. Milli jider hawn dan kien jmiss il 5 mins li hu hin sabieh hafna, pero ma tanc nista nifem ala il bniedem jibqa jisforza sakem dan jara il limit.

Personalment gieli amilt static taht kontrol ta xi hadt, pero illum li gibt xi ftit iktar esperjenza, dan qtajtu kollu. Hafna ghaddasa bhali nuzaw l apnea biex ninzlu u naqbdu huta, u hafna minnha jiffokaw fuq il hinijiet u min jzomm l iktar. Pero jinsew li meta ninzlu hemm, nkunu inzilna biex naqbdu huta, u jekk l azjoni ta sajda ma tkunx saret f hin ta 1`30sec dan jkun jfisser li difficli li il huta ser tidhol at tir.

Il parir tijaj hu li illum jezistu couses fejn jaghlmu anke safty waqt apnea, li ghalija nhoss li hi haga bzonjuza immens. L inportanti hu, mhux li izzom nifsek u tisforza biex izzommu biex tajd tinzel 20-25mtr, pero l inportanti hu li taf safety fuq apnea waqt li qed fil bahar meta tista issib, caqlieq, kurrenti u partner li jista jkun ajjien jew nuqqas ta attenzjoni.

Haga li dejjem najd lil kulhadd jien, li ahna taht 10cm u taht 50mtr ilma, qedin dejjem sugget espost al accedent.
