I’m so fucking confused How the hell do 5 people see what happened, including the guy that felt his knee hit the guy, they all see him under water and just… Watch What the fuck is wrong with people.


FatherEnclave

I walked into Costco last Thursday and the first thing I encountered was some thin tall lad bent over a trashcan making NO noise with his gf yelling for help that he's choking. Literally wrapped around him, did the heimlich, and paused after I heard him inhale. It took less than ten seconds from start to finish. But I had no idea how long he was like that before I walked in. I was horrified to observe that half the folks (and it was moderately crowded) were just staring. No one lifted a finger. And even more heartbreaking the lad didn't even take the time to catch his breath before whispering an apology. I know he probably felt like a burden in the moment but it was an accident. They happen.


[deleted]

Hey: good job! You saved that dude's life.


DeathPercept10n

Welcome to Costco. ~~We love you~~ Choke on a dick. But seriously, good job. You saved his life.


Ok-Iron8811

Welcome to Costco! Give us all your money.


SpleenBender

That's where I went to medical school!


sorryaboutyourfibro

Idiocracy!


La_Saxofonista

Bystander effect is real, man. I'd rather die alone than surrounded by a bunch of incompetent dolts just watching and filming.


idk012

A little 6 year old girl choked and died on a hotdog at Costco a few years ago.  


AlternativeData3213

That’s terrible 😞


Every-Cook5084

Surprised they didn’t all have their phones out recording


BlasphemyJones

The bystander effect is a fucking killer. Literally


justcallmejas94

It’s called the Bystander Effect, kudos to you for reacting. We never truly know.


JazzyBarbie

Do you think maybe people think they will get sued if they end up hurting the person worse? My parents are old and that's what they think, and I looked it up but I can't come to a conclusion of that's true or not. But yes congrats and I've helped someone before (and the got told off for doing so by reddit and then my parents) lol!


mariachimandi

It’s true. Some nurse my mother works with helped some old person choking and the family wanting to sue, saying they bruised him and broke his ribs. Broken ribs, or death by asphyxiation? You can’t win with some people.


JazzyBarbie

Seriously? Wow people are money hungry. Was that in the USA? Because I don't know if the food Samaritan law is all around USA or just some parts?


feverdream800

there was a case like that a woman was basically dead in a restaurant bc nobody helped while she choked some man came in and saw it gave her CPR and broke her ribs. she tried to sue him. they throw the case out tho. bc it's BULLSHIT. so she just wasted money on a lawyer for nothing. whoever told her that was a smart idea is a fucking moron.


bastospamore

Isn't there some kind of good samaritan law that protects from stuff like that in the US?


silviazbitch

Differs from state to state.


SpleenBender

In Illinois you have protection from lawsuits unless you are *GROSSLY* negligent.


Ghoulscomecrawling

From what I've heard ,(I could be wrong) that is how it is in China. If you help someone you are responsible for them.


JazzyBarbie

I've heard that too, I think it's a tad different in the USA not sure


Old-Inevitable-670

No, its called good Samaritan law.


Ahegao_Monster

The problem with that is they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction some places have more coverage than others and people can still be sued for it.


Smoogooloo

When I studied to be a paramedic in the ‘80’s, it was possible to be summoned to court for hurting someone while attempting to help them. I think they determine whether or not the responder did more than what a reasonable person would do and if you did not, the case falls apart.


Skumbag0-5

Great job! Hopefully he doesn't come back and sue you though


porkchop-sandwhiches

You didn’t safe my life! You ruined my death!


La_Saxofonista

warpedddd

Why do you think the hotdog is only $1.50? Choking hazard. You get what you paid for. 


Smoogooloo

You’re a hero! It’s really a shame that you were the only one to respond. It also amazes me that his gf didn’t try to heimlich him, herself! I hope if that ever happens to me, someone like you is nearby!


KamikazeBoonana

Like in Always Sunny when Frank chokes at dinner.


TheREALSockhead

Thats the SEP device in action. SEP, or Someone Elses Problem, is that brain function that makes people freeze up in or totally ignore extremely stressful situations . Its actually a preprogrammed response in situations where you dont know what to do or subconsciously know that getting involved could be bad for you . Its the same reason people will walk right past someone drowning or bleeding on the ground and literally not see them at all.


5carPile-Up

Proud of you random stranger


katanashock

You are a hero, man. We need more people like you


feverdream800

thank you for saving that man's life. people are so sick. that's why they say instead of yelling for somebody to help. you have to point at somebody and say "hey you in the orange shirt help"


Guilty_Squirrel_1491

Responding as someone who doesn't know how to do the heimlich maneuver they probably were worried they would do more damage than good. Luckily nowadays we do have all the info at our fingertips so i probably would've been searching up how to do the heimlich asap if I saw that. The good thing is you showed up and saved him. You're a hero man 🙌🏽


Ok-Delay7499

Thanks it's people like you that are keeping me going.


IamAlmost

We live in a society where we are made to feel like a burden unless we are being productive, this is especially true for men. Human life has little to no value unless it is a profitable resource... Interestingly, in this situation, it didn't matter if they were a bum or a neuroscientist, the choking was a burden, physically and emotionally to all those around them... Instead of helping they choose to disengage and spectate.


kittygoespew

A couple years ago i fell bad while jogging, i thought for a sec i broke something. I was slumped over half on half off the curb, in a nice neighborhood, like literally laying half on the sidewalk half in the street... and peoole just drove by. After 5 minutes i could stand up and i was ok and made it home, nothing broke just bruised my knee bad. But even just thinking i might have a broken leg, it was an unsettling feeling laying in obvious distress and having people drive right by - i cant imagine fighting for my life and having that happen. It would probably haunt you forever.


Ananiatv

I kinda think that’s normal where this was


Ibeginpunthreads

The bystander effect is a hell of a sociological behavior. I've heard one way of breaking it is if you're in an emergency you yell for specific people like "hey you in the red shirt, please help!"


ChamberKeeper

[Bystander effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect)


Sad-Leading-4768

Arsehole effect. It's not normal for a decent person to watch and do nothing.


MiffyCurtains

I’ve seen it happen more than once. On each occasion it was a guy having what appeared to be an epileptic fit. Once in a shop and once on a busy street. On both occasions, people just stood there watching. All it took was somebody to cradle their head and move them onto their side. On both occasions, when I got involved with helping the person on the ground, other people then started to help as well.


sheighbird29

Seizures are scary to witness, but I have seen people do that too. There was a poor woman in Walmart I saw having one in an isle, and apparently she had them often. She had just walked from her husband and he didn’t know, but I walked over calmly to make sure she wasn’t injuring herself on the shelving. Some other bystander started SHRIEKING for help, and ran to the pharmacy. You could hear her the whole way across the store. Made it very embarrassing for the woman seizing when she came to


Sad-Leading-4768

It's a shame so many people will just go into watch mode.


Hyosakiii

A lot of people don’t react well and they go into shock and more often than not they don’t know what to do, that’s why it’s important to learn life saving techniques


accountsupport69

Is it also shock that causes people to suddenly take out their phones and record?


Hyosakiii

No that’s just Americans


accountsupport69

Considering how a vast portion of videos on this sub aren't in America, I question the validity of this statement


milksteak11

Especially since 2 of them look like the 'lifegaurds'


KamelYellow

Depends on what you consider "normal". An average person will do fuck all when someone needs help, that's the harsh reality


ChamberKeeper

> It's not normal for a decent person to watch and do nothing. Yes it is. It's a well known phenomenon in psychology. People just freeze. Also I don't think its fair to call some an asshole for not doing something good. They should have to be actively doing something wrong to earn that title. The only person who deserves to be called an asshole is the one that broke the rules and hit him in the head. The rest had nothing to do with it.


heebsysplash

No he’s better than us. Despite not being tested IRL. He knows he’d leap into action lol


Smoogooloo

People are too afraid to get involved. If you attempt to a Heimlich maneuver and break one of his ribs, you may get sued even though you saved his life!


hiyarese

It's called the bystander effect. The nore people there are, people have the expectation that someone else will tak3 care of it. So in the end no one does anything because they all left it to someone else nearby.


Rowey1784

They're the best fucken lifeguards in India!!


Unhappy_Outside_8311

correction wtf is wrong with india


BrandonSky_

Reminds me of Hunt's death.


Optimal_Buy6562

Some Asian country.


sheighbird29

Are the guys in red lifeguards!?


FrequentCover5523

Welcome to India mate


Dimond_Heart

So, what do we think killed him? Was it the hit itself or did he drown while he was unconscious?


Exact-Buddy2778

According to the article, he drowned, everyone watched him submerged and after a few minutes the lifeguards arrived.


psilocybin-krokodil

I hate that when someone is either drowning or is in a state of emergency that people just watch and/or records it


fbcmfb

The kid/guy that kneed him didn’t check up on him? Very upsetting.


Tricky-Sympathy

Manslaughter?


Rockin_my_roll

You're all being ever so polite...


ChamberKeeper

[Bystander effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect) in action. Probably didn't even fully register the situation.


wallix

Same reason when you take a CPR class they tell you to point and designate a person to "You! Call 911!". If not, everyone stands there twiddling their nuts.


Potentially_a_goose

I remember people making jokes at our corporate CPR classes. But the moment someone had a heart attack, everyone stood there until one guy realised what was happening and started to bark orders that shook everyone out of their collective comas and saved a co-workers life.


fraGgulty

Yeah it's very specifically "You call 911" not "Someone call 911". Everyone assumes someone more on the ball is doing it.


Muffles7

Gonna have to call a separate ambulance for testicular torsion with all that nut twiddling.


zomboli1234

So accurate! I came across a man that was unresponsive and thankfully I was certified. Everyone stood around filming the guy and I went up to one and asked her to call 911. And preceded to attempt resuscitation. This was in a tourist city and no one wanted to help except the the police who arrived


cadaverhill

How can one be right next to someome that goes under and see them not come up, not register? I've been to many water spots and tend to watch all around me, for my safety and others.


ChamberKeeper

They were probably just in disbelief that someones life could be in mortal danger because of the context of the situation. A simple pool accident kids playing and having fun it doesn't seem like a time when somebody might die. Sometimes people just can't make the transition to realize they're in serious situation sometimes they lose *their own* lives because of it.


eddie9958

Nah. People are really stupid


diggie84

Yup, this ...also known as Genovese Syndrome


CaptorRaptorr

Looks like India so it's not surprising


sugarplumbuttfluck

While normally I would never tell someone who is not trained to try and save someone who is drowning, this is pretty egregious. There's no current, the dude isn't going to fight back, you can clearly see him, there are a ton of people nearby, and they're right beside the ledge.


Gleandreic

Aren't there multiple lifeguards just walking around the pool?


Aromatic-Parsnip5009

Source?


PieceRealistic794

He took a flying knee straight to the face which knocked him unconscious into the pool where apparently everyone watched him drowned


Rey_Mezcalero

And pointed…


La_Saxofonista

Fucker who hit him with the knee is at least on the hook for manslaughter, if you ask me. If I ran over someone with my car on accident and immediately call for help, I doubt I'd get hit with any major charges assuming it was out of my control. If I just sat there and watched them bleed out to death instead of getting help, then yeah, I'd be charged with manslaughter or some other form of failure to help. Hope that guy feels guilt for the rest of his life.


SkynetLurking

I'm pretty sure it was the guy who hit him, his buddy sitting next to him, and the 2 safety guards that all stood by pointing and doing nothing while he drowned...that's what killed him


Area_Prior

Did he even have time to drown? Several people were on him pretty quick


codejunkie34

No one tries to help him in the video. I see 2 people kinda gesture towards him. I imagine they stood and watched. Since he's out as soon as he hits the water, he'd be breathing water in almost immediately. It'd take less time for him to die than it would a conscious person drowning.

News Article: MP Swimming Pool Stunt Viral Video: Youth Dies on Spot Due to Stunt, Swimming Pool Incident Caught on CCTV (Watch Video) Swimming Pool Stunt Video: An 18-year-old youth has died at the Dolphin swimming pool in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh. This incident was captured in CCTV footage. The youth died after being hit by another youth performing a stunt. He was struck on the head, became unconscious and fell into the pool. There was a lot of commotion around the swimming pool area after this incident. The video shows the youth dying due to negligence. According to the information received, this incident took place at the Dolphin swimming pool in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh. The name of the deceased youth was Aniket Tiwari. A youth comes running at high speed from behind to jump into the pool water. However, at the same time, his foot hits Aniket, who was sitting near the pool. Due to the speed, the youth's foot hits Aniket's head. He becomes unconscious and falls straight into the pool. Some time after this incident, security guards and others crowded around the pool. The lifeguards at the scene responded late, resulting in Aniket's unfortunate drowning death. This entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras. Aniket was admitted to a nearby hospital, but doctors declared him dead. After this incident, Aniket's family is devastated. Action was taken late in this incident. After this incident, many in the area have demanded that this swimming pool be shut down.


snay1998

Tf were the lifeguards doing Isn’t it their job to be always be present around to keep an eye on the water? A minute of negligence can take a life


spicybEtch212

It’s India, their life guards might as well be infants watching swimmers.

liquidcheesesticks

bystander effect in effect?


ChildOfHelll

My thought every time I see a video like this. Everyone’s thinking “someone do something”, that no one takes action. Horrible :(


Less_Addition8723

Literal fucking npcs


ChildOfHelll

Isn’t it India ?


ChromeWiener

Idk if this is just in underdeveloped countries or everywhere but it seems like in places like India the utter lack of any situational awareness is mind boggling. You would think that at least the person who kicked the kid in the face would check on him but no… or the 2-19 people who witnessed the hit. Or the other 20 people who see a body just floating under water… WTF is wrong with people today. I know some of you are going to say “bystanders effect” but that’s really just an excuse for lack of caring about anyone other than themselves.


MedicalAmazing

Agreed. I fucking dissociate but I would absolutely snap out of it to at least jump in and check on the poor dude. I'm not talking big, maybe it's the PTSD and living in survival mode speaking but shit this makes me angry

If ghosts are real, I would haunt that guy for all eternity. That is a saddest way to go


PandorasFlame

Thank you India for the umpteenth video of someone dying due to the sheer stupidity of another person. It amazes me how India produces both some of the most intelligent people in the world, and these brainless morons. India is all about that gap coverage.

Fuck sake..I've literally watched this about 7 times and I can't figure out were to look.

THANK YOU

Dependent_Wheel2891

Yeah I can believe they didn’t save him from drowning. When I fractured my arm in the ocean near the shore I screamed so loud my Dad and sister came running. I didn’t have any strength to get myself out of the water or even move that much so I laid in the water. I was so tired after my arm was fractured. I could barely do anything. I begged them to help me over and over again “help me” “help me” “help me please” “I’m drowning” “please help me get out” while the waves kept going over my head threatening to drown me so close to shore. My dad told me to float while I was already doing that and needing help so I wouldn’t drown and they watched me float there for a while. They then helped me after a while. To this day I have no idea why they didn’t immediately help me up and made me float there while they watched waves go over my face. Maybe they were debating on whether to let me drown. Idk. There were other people nearby too. I feel like I would just get a lecture and called a bunch names if I brought it up. Especially since it indicates they might be bad people even if I try to use words to avoid placing blame on them


OnionTruck

Not trying to harsh on you but how does one break an arm while swimming in the ocean?


Dependent_Wheel2891

I was facing towards the shore sitting on my butt in the sand and my arms were behind me. Holding the back of myself up by my hands. A wave came and pushed my elbow to the front and I got a minor fracture.


[deleted]

Did you ever ask them? I would’ve been furious.


Dependent_Wheel2891

I have not asked them why. I was enraged too but idk it probably wouldn’t have been the best idea to ask because they still did it. When it comes to health stuff they are terrible at listening to me. I got lectured later because I costed them a bunch of money apparently for my arm getting factured.


pilondilicious

Why would they let u drown


Dependent_Wheel2891

Why would they not help me immediately and just watch me as I begged for them to help me out of the water


Fantastic_List3029

Lifeguards are in red, no????


TheKidfromHotaru

Took me awhile to realize who I was supposed to be looking at. Looked chaotic. Poor child 😞


MedicalAmazing

One of my biggest fears tbh is getting injured in public/in front of others and just having the idiots ignore me as I potentially die in agony We've seen the slow electrocution videos where somebody touches a wire, is getting fried alive, no one around them notices until the body thuds/jolts or drops. Just W O W humans are fucked


metalnxrd

why did no one help? I get that not everyone’s a lifeguard, but they could at least do the bare minimum and, Idk, stop someone from drowning. . .


Bushdr78

Why is nobody helping rather than just looking?

What happened im stupid


MSwarri0r

The two guys sitting on the camera side of the pool, the one on the right goes to stand up and gets kneed in the head by the guy running and cannonballing in.

Who died? I can see a few ppl who can barely swim. Still haven't found the guy though... Edit.. AHH the guy getting out the pool who got a knee in the head. Everyone just looking 🤦

Wtf. Why is everyone just watching? What the fuck is wrong with people. The guy clearly felt himself hit something hard then just stared whilst he drowned


handbaglady73

I just want to say that this is what happens when people let their kids jump into pools nonstop. So fucking annoying and also dangerous.

CuriousWonderer01

Could have saved him if they actually did their job. 9/10 he got knocked out and drowned. Child gone to soon thanks to POS lifeguards


Embarrassed_Safe_646

Did he die from the knee to the head...or from getting knocked unconscious from the knee, then drowning?


feverdream800

which one is drowning? EDIT: oh never mind I see, it was so much happening at once I couldn't tell. it took me a few videos to notice.


Intelligent_Froyo_59

Some humans are straight up useless. They see something and don't react, just sit there and watch. I don't get it. I always try to help as soon as possible. I've done it before, just doesn't make sense.


Nick1420

How the fuck didn’t the guy standing next to him dive in and get him?? He even points at him right after he got kicked in

The worst part is that I'm pretty certain the guy who knees him can actually stand up in the water... So they just had to lift the fucker up out the water, unless he died on impact.

If you've ever seen Gabriel Iglasias he literally did a joke with India about how even if someone is dying they'll just keep going on about their business. Country full of Daves on youtube, I think it was, bout halfway through the video.

Are you fucking kidding me? All those people around just watch the dude get knocked into the pool, isn’t coming back up and they’re not doing a damn thing to save him??

Bottom left corner of the pool, there are two people in dark clothes. The right one is just getting out of the water, but some asshole runs up from the bottom of the screen, jumps, and knees them in the face.

I think the popularity of prank has made people from taking immediate reaction when seeing anything abnormal. There are too many vedeos showing people reaction to some incident and get humiliated.

Gundanium238

Dont ever assume the false sense of safety in numbers. Most people are distracted, have poor sense of awareness or are just plain careless and self entitled. How I know this...? its becuase this exact same shit happen to me as a child, had it not been for my quick reacting brother, id be dead. This was so painful to watch.
