can a person die during fits if he falls down in 2 feet deep water , and there was no water in his stomach?

Most people who drown do not have water in the lungs due to a bronchospasm that shuts off the windpipe. He would not have water in the stomach either, because swallowing requires peristalsis through the espophogus. \n\nIam sorry for your loss.

You can drown in an inch of water.You can drown in any amount even a teaspoon of water even.Sounds crazy but it's the truth.\nJust keep safe and never go to an unguarded beach.\nIf you've taken swim lessons beforehand then you should be fine.\nMost of the things people worry about never happen.So don't worry you'll be fine!! :) Have fun!

it gives the answer at the end of the video!  it's all about muscle control (tightening the stomach muscles before impact) and breath control (breathing out to minimize the force of the impact).\n\nHoudini used to do it all the time.  that's how he died, in fact, when someone hit him in the stomach when he wasn't ready to take the blow.

well in Titanic most of the people died of the cold and had no water in there lungs and they were wearing life jackets. All the other movies (that i can remember)the body had been in the water for a very long or very short time. short= air still in you  Long = decaying gases but once those gases are gone you sink.\nUseless side note: If someone drowned in the  1700's or 1800's  and they couldn't find the body because it had sunk they would shoot a canon over the surface of the water . the vibrations would make the remaining air or gas inside the body collect in pockets and might make the body it float. Worked sometimes.

Astronauts will not "explode" if their space suit depressurized. If you've ever seen how things act in a "vacuum" bell jar, it explains what would happen: liquids boil at lower temperatures at lower pressures, thus the liquids in the astronaut's body would vaporize and thus the astronaut would be killed (no blood=no oxygen to the brain, for example). Their body would remain intact because skin and other body parts are essentially solids.

If you mean breathing nitrogen, nothing as long as there is some oxygen mixed, if you dive deeply nitrogen can dissolve in your blood and make little bubbles when return to the surface and it can be mortal\n\nIf you mean nitrogen in nutrition, it's very important in forming proteins, if it lacks can cases lack of proteins, and if you receive too much it can leads to suffering from exceeding of uric acid.

no we can not cry under water unless you want to cry drowning.  Crying requires breathing.

I float in a fresh water pool, don't you?  My head is not above water, but if my lungs are full of air I do not sink.  If I empty my lungs then I will sink.  What is your question?

Yes, it has happened in cases where nothing would show on any equipment and the heart had stopped. It is possible to be legally dead and brought back to life, but only in certain circumstances. Consider drowning. You can be legally dead from drowning, your heart stopped, but an electric charge will bring you back if done within a certain amount of time. There are alot of stories on this under 'near death experiences'. Look em up. Crazy stuff.

you could breathe through a tube down as deep as perhaps one atmosphere.  beyond that the surrounding water pressure on your chest would prohibit you from taking a breath from surface air.

No basis for this one other than after you eat, your body typically shunts blood to the digestive tract and away from the brain and skeletal muscle.  With physical activity this shunting would be over ridden, POSSIBLY, MAYBE precipitating a cramp.  I have never heard of it actually playing a role in any water accident.

as a form of recreation and also to prevent drowning should they fall into deep water.

It's better to die of thirst. You may suffer longer, but you would never feel the utter panic that drowning would cause. Some people say drowning is one of the easiest ways to die, but feeling water fill up your lungs isn't such a pleasant sensation as they might think.\n\nOf course, being completely parched isn't that great either, but you have more hope of finding water and can probably just sleep or lose consciousness until you die.

uhmm technically you would because a few reasons \n1ST I'm a skydiver and you are **required to carry an air mask on certain occasions.\n2ND if it rained 5 inches yesterday today it rained 4inches and tomorrow it rains 2-3 inches that's 12/13 inches and depending on the amount of time you spend in that area you could technically drown \nRachel

He hung himself, but either the rope or that to which it was attached broke, causing him to fall and burst open.\n\nEither way, he died. No contradiction there.

A newly dead human being, or any other animal, will sink when placed in water.  After the gases of decomposition build up in the chest and abdomen, however, the body will inflate, rise like a hydrogen-filled balloon, and pop to the surface, sometimes dragging with it surprisingly heavy weights that a murderer might have thought sufficient to keep it down.   With the passage of time and further decomposition, however, the body cavities eventually rupture, the gas escapes, and the corpse goes down again, this time for good.\n\nThere is one notable exception:  sometimes, due to air caught in the clothing, a body will stay on the surface for several hours before sinking.

It depends on how far out of the water you wish to be.  Humans are very close to being bouyant-we are more dense than water, but have lungs full of air, thus a lean man with a large lung capacity is bouyant with a deep breath.  Its isnt the pounds of air that matter, its the pounds of water displaced by the air.  If you hold onto a 10 gallon jug full of air, it displaces 10 gallons worth of water, which is about 80 pds-well more than you need to keep your upper body above water.  For a 200 pd man, he would need an water-displacing container of 25 gallons (this could be a boat or anything else that displaces water for air).
