Water Sports

"My mums friend died years ago riding a rubber ring behind a speedboat. He flipped out of the ring and hit the water badly. They all went back to the hotel to get ready for a night out, he said his neck hurt so he was going to stay in his room. They found him dead the next morning."

"The force of hitting the water had broken his neck and given him brain damage but somehow he wasn't in much pain so thought he could sleep it off. Nope."

Nitrogen Narcosis

"As a scuba diver it's something I need to be careful of. As elementary science teaches us, nitrogen is by far the most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere. Under normal circumstances, inhaled nitrogen gas is immediately exhaled. However under pressure, like when diving, some of that nitrogen can enter the blood stream (think like carbonation in soda)."

"At low doses it does nothing, but as nitrogen levels build it begins to mess with your nervous system. It creates feelings of confusion and euphoria. Underwater that's a very bad thing. Divers have been known to forget they were diving and take their gear off or forget which way was up and drown because of the narcotic effect. In higher dose it can cause more severe neurological symptoms like seizures."

Did You Hear?

"Sound. You can get killed by sonar waves and a defense strategy for submarines against boarding is turning on sonar. It also kills sea life, though."

"This video made it to r/all a few months back though I believe they determined it was a military boat's sonar and not a sub's. It's crazy how clear it sounds underwater."

Vicious Bambi

" Deer kill more Americans a year than any other animal, and it's not even close. Granted, most of that is from traffic collisions, but still. Death by Bambi is not the way you'd want to go."

No Matter How You Slice It

"I feel like people dont realize how even the tiniest cut can kill them if they dont take care of it."

"I see it defended a lot in the home tattoo/piercing community but if any kind of open wound gets infected and is left untreated it can enter the bloodstream and cause septic shock."
