I think it's great that it's raised every time. If there's a fraction of a chance they might think twice one time and it saves one of them, it will have been worth us reading it over and over.
I've seen incredible kayakers get into trouble on the water. It's beyond frightening. Worst was a mate in a k1. Suddenly hit an undercurrent and he just went under. He seemed to be under for a lifetime. (Was probably 40 seconds) no one could see or get him. He finally popped up, seriously shook up. He'd had to cut himself free as he's got pinned(most water sports peeps carry some sort of sharp cutting device).
I also was on a lake when someone dislocated their shoulder when they went over in cold water. They were wearing a drysuit which keep you dry and warm and he still had an accident. The cold water panicked them and they tried to pull up onto their kayak and pop (imagine having brain freeze but on the outside of your head and all over your body, it's pure shock)
These are experience water sports peeps and they will still have accidents. We all do.
I would never, ever let a child be responsible for another child on the water, especially a 3 year old. Jace is wearing nothing more than advanced armbands, not a recommended buyonace aid, onto of the fact that buoyancy aids, aid swimming. Even in a baby swimming pool you have to be over 16 (often 18) to supervise a child in the water.
The hundreds of hours of practice on rescues that any instructor does will tell you that it's not a simple thing. If someone is struggling, they often pull the other person under to stop themselves drowning. It's instinct. You're taught how to rescue to keep yourself and everyone else in your party safe.
Every time I see the Inghams on a lake, I feel utterly sick. They go out far too deep, without an adult and with the wrong kit. It's not a case of if they have an accident, it's when. You don't need to go out so deep and if you really want to, go out with an instructor.
wonder if they got izzy to write that vlog disclaimer with her 'Grade 9' English skills
. To me, it makes the Ingham story even more interesting - they can't be real or humble, she's unpleasant, nasty and bitter and her outward appearance tells a different story to the one that she likes to brag about on social media. I don't judge everyone that way, but when you are a very irresponsible, controversial YouTuber who puts their completely unrealistic life online knowing it will be scrutinised, I don't see why this part of the story can't be a talking point also
. I know you're always reading here so this one's for you. First of all, your daughter is 17, and you're encouraging her to post videos of her forcing out burps at an otherwise peaceful campsite. Sort out your feral children. It's truly disgusting. Get Esmé and Isla back at school and get Jace in a nursery so he can learn some manners and how to actually interact with children his own age.
Did you get A*s in your GCSEs like child genius?
