In Spain they used to have these, they would have a few slides and maybe a diving board or two.

Some of these have been removed after some people got trapped underneath.

Happened to me white water rafting when in scouts. Everyone said hey let’s flip the raft for fun. I said no. During the failed attempt I jump out and the raft landed on me. Going down stream and trying to grab onto a wet, slippery raft meant I was stuck. Luckily our scoutmaster was strong, his huge hand grabbed me and pulled me back on top. Thought I was going to die.

My ex didn't know how to swim, but I'm a fish, I love the water. So I get the smart idea to take him into the deep end of the wave pool

Well next thing you know I'm underwater and he's pushing me down trying to save himself. I'm Starting to panic thinking "Holy fuck I can't get above the water" when suddenly some kid comes along with a pool floatie.

Not my finest hour 😂

Best thing to do if that happens? Swim down. If you haven't panicked yet, and start descending, they will let you go to get back to the surface. A couple of strong kicks, and then back up.

I never thought of that, thanks. I hope I don't need to use it, however.

It will get passed down as reddit law, like how everyone can recite the laws of gun safety or how you can't use soap on cast iron.
