Same thing happened to my fiancés coworkers kid. The pipe sucked his arm in and got his head under water. They couldn't get him out so they needed to wait until all water from the pool was drained. It was their only kid and already 12 or so.
Hey now! You can’t just leave it like that. Was the kid ok?
Oh, I'm sorry I left it out, no, sadly he did not survive.
Damn. I was hoping you would t say that. As a dad myself, I could t think of know a worse thing to happen — especially since one of my greatest fears is to die via drowning or suffocation. That breaks my heart for that family.
Shittttt this is horrible. Is it possible to get someone stuck in this situation a pipe to breathe through or something??
I was also thinking about that but I guess he was already dead when they found him under water.
My guess would be that the first attempt to rescue would usually be to turn off the filter and / or attempt to jump in and pull them out. I would think by the point anyone would think of and be able to access something to breathe through it would be too late.
This is all speculation on my point though, idk
Wow I'm impressed he could hold his breath that long
I'm afraid no, he drowned.
