Common misconceptions: Drowning

Arran d’aquest acudit, he fet una ullada a l’entrada de Wikipedia de Common misconceptions.

Acudit de xkcd.com

Aquesta m’ha agradat especialment:

• A person who is drowning does not wave and call for help, as in fictional depictions of drowning. Except in rare circumstances, a person who is drowning is physiologically unable to vocalize or wave for help, due to submersion of the mouth, water in the airway, and instincts that cause the drowning victim to press or crawl at the water with their hands.^[91]
