Re: What are your 3 biggest fears/phobias?
Drowning is incredibly painful and scary. When your lungs fill with water, your body starts freaking out and I have heard your vital signs can continue even if weak for 8-12 minutes after the start of drowning.
When my raft flipped in a class 5 rapid, I immediatly choked on water because I was breathing heavily entering the water. I got stuck under another raft which was trapped on the only way down. It was very painful and I was only under water for maybe 20-30 seconds.
Just make sure you hold your breath before you enter water at high speeds.
