Heat kills, but cold water can be even deadlier! At the 25th Drina Regatta in Ljubovija, a young man fell from a boat and, according to unofficial reports, died of a heart attack. Experts warn that sudden immersion in cold water, especially when there is a big temperature difference between air and water, can cause heat shock. This means blood vessels constrict, circulation stops, the brain is deprived of oxygen, and the heart starts beating irregularly. Reflexively, a person inhales water instead of air, leading to drowning. No one is safe, neither young nor old. This is not just a warning, these are real risks many ignore. So, when you go swimming, enter the water slowly and prepare yourself. If you see someone in trouble, call emergency services immediately and provide first aid.
