Risk Taking Behaviour as a Cause of Drowning
•
1 like•746 views
The document discusses risk-taking behavior as a cause of drowning after engaging in swimming and non-aquatic activities. It presents two studies that analyzed drowning incident videos and conducted interviews with water safety professionals. The results found that drownings often occurred when people engaged in risky behaviors like illegal stunts, disregarding warnings, or venturing too far from supervision. The conclusion is that risk taking can lead to drowning and was a cause of death in 15% of drowning cases analyzed in the studies.

In 1970, Dr. William Haddon wrote a brilliant editorial that changed forever how we evaluate accidents and other failures in complex systems. The paper was titled, On the Escape of Tigers: An Ecological Note, and it looked at accidents through an etiological rather than descriptive approach. The work was immediately applied to automotive and aviation safety, beginning the enormous reduction in accidents in both fields that continues to this day. In 1990, Dr. James T. Reason published his first work on the role of barriers to sequential failure, and how they fail in truly catastrophic accidents. Together, their combined work forms the basis for much of the best practice for risk mitigation in the automotive, airline, oil & gas and healthcare industries. In this article, I take a look at the failed efforts to control the Ebola outbreak relative to the concepts of Drs. Haddon and Reason.

Morgan misinfo ijlp2013
This study examined whether misinformation could influence memory for stressful events experienced during military survival training. Over 800 participants took part in a mock prisoner of war camp as part of their training. They experienced an interrogation and a propaganda speech. Participants were later given memory questionnaires that either contained no misinformation, misinformation about interrogation details, a misleading photo, or a misleading video about the propaganda speech. Exposure to misinformation negatively impacted memory accuracy for event details and identification of interrogators. The findings demonstrate that memories for stressful experiences are vulnerable to distortion from misinformation, even in highly trained individuals.

Perceptions of Risk for Volcanic Hazards at Vesuvio and Etna, Italy
This document summarizes research on perceptions of risk from volcanic hazards at Mount Vesuvius and Mount Etna in Italy. It finds that residents near Mount Etna have an objective understanding of the risks, while those near Vesuvius demonstrate high fear but low perceptions of ability to protect themselves from an eruption. Residents near Vesuvius also showed low awareness of evacuation plans and confidence in their success. The document reviews factors that influence risk perception, such as experience with hazards, self-efficacy, sense of community, and trust in government responses.
Pathophysiology and Epidemiology of Traumatic Brain Injury
1. Primary injuries occur at the moment of trauma from physical forces that deform brain tissue, leading to focal injuries like skull fractures and hemorrhages or diffuse injuries like axonal shearing.
2. Specific primary injuries include skull fractures, intracranial hematomas, brain contusions and lacerations caused by compressive, tensile and shear forces on brain tissue.
3. Epidural hematomas are caused by tears to the middle meningeal artery, potentially causing rapid neurologic decline, while intracerebral hemorrhages result from tears to deep cerebral vessels with extensive cortical contusions.

Ils Safety Management 07
The Lifesaving Society of Canada provides safety management services to its affiliates and customers. It offers seven main service areas: 1) aquatic safety audits, 2) developing policies/standards, 3) reviewing court/inquest findings, 4) management training, 5) regulation review, 6) major incident management, and 7) expert witness testimony. These services help prevent drowning and promote water safety through education, training, safety standards, and risk management reviews.
Dangerous Surf
This document discusses dangerous surf conditions caused by long period swells and the risks they pose, especially for rock fishers. It provides statistics showing that the majority of rock fishing fatalities in NSW between 1992-2000 occurred during rough sea conditions. Thresholds are presented for issuing dangerous wave alerts and warnings based on wave height and period. Case studies are described of incidents that occurred during dangerous surf conditions. Further work is outlined to improve forecasts and raise awareness of risks posed by long period swells.
Camera Technology
The document discusses how technology can save lives through various initiatives implemented by lifesaving services:
1) A national database tracks all lifesaving activities, incidents, training, and coastal audits to improve information management and decision making.
2) SurfCom emergency operations rooms use touch screens, automatic logging systems, and state-of-the-art communication to enhance response coordination.
3) Safety cameras provide online footage of beaches to monitor inshore waves, rip currents, and crowds to help predict risks and identify people in distress.
Integrated Approach To Beach Lifeguarding And Lifeboating
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) integrated beach lifeguarding into its existing sea rescue operations to provide a more comprehensive coastal safety service. The RNLI launched a beach lifeguard pilot program in 2001 and now operates lifeguards on over 100 beaches nationwide. This integrated approach has benefited both services by sharing resources, training, and best practices. Challenges remain in further expanding the integrated lifeguard program while maintaining the RNLI's volunteer-based model.
Main Skills For Lifesaving
Dr. Detlev Mohr discusses the importance of training lifesaving skills through both practical exercises and competitions. He analyzes different water environments and the specific skills required to perform rescues in each one. Mohr also compares lifesaving skills to the events in international lifesaving competitions, noting some discrepancies. He argues that competition rules should be updated to better simulate real rescue situations and support the full range of skills needed in lifesaving practice.
Risk Assessment Model
The document discusses the development of a beach risk assessment model for application in the UK. It aims to understand beach hazards and what organizations like the RNLI and University of Plymouth are doing to reduce drownings. Key points of a risk assessment include natural/artificial hazards, hazard severity, use levels, and development. The RNLI wants the government to clarify safety responsibilities and encourage formal risk assessments and reasonable safety measures. They are working with Plymouth University to modify an assessment program and develop risk calculation tools to provide basic risk ratings. The goal is to treat risks through education, signage, and guidelines to identify responsibility and safety levels.
Principles of Beach Risk Assessment: A UK perspective
The document discusses principles of beach risk assessments from a UK perspective. It outlines that risk assessments are required by UK law and have moral and ethical importance to prevent drowning incidents. The document also provides details on how to conduct risk assessments, including identifying hazards, evaluating risks, recording findings, and reviewing assessments. Key steps and scales for risk assessment are presented from UK health and safety organizations. Challenges in assessing beach risks and maintaining safety are also noted.
ILCOR
The document discusses guidelines from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) for resuscitation techniques. It recommends a ratio of 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths for a single rescuer performing CPR on an adult or child outside of a hospital. For initial resuscitation, 2-5 rescue breaths should be given when starting CPR. The guidelines also state that chest compressions only should be provided if the rescuer is unable or unwilling to give rescue breaths.
Drowning Report
This document summarizes the key findings of the 2007 ILS World Drowning Report.
