Help!

Today, I went to a river near my house. They have several swing ropes that you grab and then jump into the river. As I was about to let go of the rope, my leg got tangled and I was held underwater. My mom watched and laughed for a while before she came to help me. FML

Today, while at a local river, I had been pulled underwater by a very fast and strong current. While fighting for my life, I had let go of my sandals so I could pull myself up. After explaining to my mom what had happened to me, her response was "YOU LOST YOUR SANDALS!?" FML

Today, I went swimming with this guy I like at dammed river. While we were jumping off the dam, I decided to try to impress him by doing a front flip. I didn't jump far enough off, so when I went to flip, my face skidded down the concrete wall. FML

Today, at the beach, I swam pretty far out into the ocean. I ended up getting pummelled by the waves and got a painful cramp in my leg. The whole beach watched me flail and scream, while my friends rolled their eyes as they dragged me out of the water. FML

Today, during a game of manhunt, my brother and his friends thought it would be funny to tie me to a telelphone pole with my very own multicolored jumprope from when I was younger. They left me there. My mom drove by, stared and then laughed, She kept driving. FML

Today, I nearly drowned. I was at a wave pool for the first time and stupidly swam out to the deep end. When the waves turned on, I discovered I can't swim in rough water. Despite my yelling, "Help!" and flailing around, the lifeguard paid me no attention. My friend had to save me. FML

Today, I fell in a hole in my back yard and got stuck. My mother called the fire department. They all stood around laughing and taking pictures before they helped me. FML

Today, my friend and I decided to go skinny-dipping in her pool just after we'd finished watching a scary movie. While we were in the pool, I heard something move in the bushes so I freaked out and ran onto the deck, slipping and falling flat on my back. Her dad saw the whole thing. FML

Today, it was an extremely hot day so I hit up the beach for a swim. Just as I entered the water, the first wave approached me. I tried to jump it and lost my footing, managing to dislocate my hip. I had to be dragged from the water by the lifeguards. FML

Today, my brother flicked a huge bug onto my foot, making me freak out and fall into my outdoors pool. The water was so cold that I started hyperventilating. My brother left to "get help". I finally managed to get out, and found him watching TV. FML

Today, I was at work lifeguarding and saw a kid drowning on the far end of the pool. I decided running would be the quickest way to get to her, but as I ran across the pool deck I slipped and hit my head. The kid's mother jumped in to save her child and then called an ambulance for me. FML

I've never done this so I don't have much of a basis but how does that even happen? You have to be the most talented clumsy person alive to get it twisted so much in one swing that you get stuck.

" As I was about to let go of the rope, my leg got tangled and I was held underwater." Apparently, you missed this part.

It's a stuck leg, she could use her, I don't know, ARMS maybe and swim. Op sounds like a massive drama queen.

Her leg was tangled in the rope. Kinda hard to swim when you're hanging upside down and not completely in the water.

Final destination deaths are far funnier and complicated. At least OP didn't get his/her guts sucked out through their anus.

Last time I went on a rope swing, I ended up getting caught in a fallen tree under water, and I wasn't able to swim to surface, and almost drowned. :( I hate rope swings!

Yeah, kids who are in danger are not cool, but irresponsible mothers are. Is Casey Anthony your hero?

Loly19 8

Monday 7 May 2012 14:10

Yeah, of course, because this kid is a todler... -_-" Seriously, how old do you thing this "kid" is?? I bet she is older than 10... And Casey Anthony?? Seriously?? You compare her to that monster?? Get real!!

THE_A_TEEN 27

Monday 7 May 2012 14:18

1) I didn't 'compare' her. Reread my comment. 2) Think how hard it is to untie your foot when you're hanging upside down, no matter what age.

Loly19 8

Monday 7 May 2012 14:28

The fact you mention her for this particular case is already a comparison... And yes it is difficult, believe me, I know... That's why I know if you really were drowning, your adrenaline would make you untie... One thing is for sure, that girl got scared as ever

63) You do know that there are certain disabilities out there that make them panic under even the simplest of situations, so don't you DARE say that an adrenaline could give OP "super strength" enough to pull herself out of the water, next time try summing up all the possibilities before you make assumptions.
