Talk:Instinctive drowning response/Archive 1

Possible list of evidence
Evidence I've seen in various sources includes far more than the "standard" signs:


 * Body in upright position, often facing shore
 * Head low in water
 * Unable to keep the mouth consistently above water (sometimes "bobbing" low in the water")
 * Hands out to the sides pushing downwards against the water
 * Unable to talk, shout, or call out
 * Lack of leg movement (ie, no leg "kicking" to support the head out of water)
 * Absence of expected rescue-directed actions (for instance, failure to recognize or respond to attempts at reaching the victim)
 * Inability to take other life-preserving steps (behaviors are automatic at this point).

May be worth sourcing and adding these? Noting for future. FT2 (Talk 11:29, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
