Would you have had the presence of mind to save your kid?
 
This story impressed me:

Dad Breathes Air Into Son Trapped Underwater For 7 Minutes
Boy's Recovery Considered Miracle

POSTED: 10:19 am EDT July 21, 2006

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A 14-year-old who was sucked to the bottom of a hotel hot tub and kept under water for at least seven minutes was likely saved by air his father breathed into his mouth during the ordeal.

Aljuwon Pipkin, who was visiting Walt Disney World from New Jersey, became stuck at the bottom of the hot tub last Thursday at the Radisson Parkway Hotel.

Officials said a grate at the bottom of the tub apparently broke and created a strong suction that pulled the teen underwater.

Cool story. People being pulled down by hot tub drains isn't all that rare. Surviving it is.

Also rare:

"Pipkin's family said they do not blame the Radisson Hotel and said they believe what happened was an accident, the report said."

underwater rescue breathing is a standard part of a good scuba course.

Now that you bring it up, do you think the suction on a hot tub would be enough to hold a big ugly lesbian underwater?

Until the lawyers get a hold of them and convince them that the Radisson needs to pay.

I saw that one on Baywatch once. I'd definitely try it on Erika Eleniak.

A pool noodle would have been affective as a beathing apperatus as well.
