On 1/27/20 at 3:20pm, this young lady was fishing off of docks in Harrison Township. As she attempted to stand up, she lost her footing and slipped off the dock into the freezing water. The young lady’s friend was a dock over and heard her fall; she looked over to see her friend struggling in the icy waters. Her friend was unable to pull her up to the dock and the young lady’s body began to go numb. Two nearby fisherman heard the women’s cries and came over to help. The two fisherman attempted to pull the woman up onto the dock but struggled as the young lady’s body had become completely numb and she was unable to move. Her friend called for help as the fisherman held on to the young lady keeping her from slipping underwater and surely drowning. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office along with the Harrison Fire Department arrived on scene and were able to pull the young lady from the 36 degree water. She was believed to be in the water for approximately 15 minutes.
The young lady is doing better today but wants to remind people to always fish with a partner and make sure you have proper, non-slip, footwear when you walking on any slippery surface. She is forever grateful to her friend and the fisherman that saved her life.
What you need to know if you happen to fall into cold water.
• Don’t panic. Try to get control of your breathing. Hold onto something or stay as still as possible until your breathing settles down. It may be a boat, a fixed object, or something floating. Focus on floating with your head above water until the cold shock response abates.
• If multiple people fall into cold water, huddling in a group lessens the loss of body heat and is good for morale. Also, rescuers can spot a group more easily than individuals.
• If you were not wearing a PFD when you entered the water, look to see if one is floating around you and put it on immediately. Don’t take your clothes off unless absolutely necessary. A layer of water trapped inside your clothing will help insulate you.
• Get as much of your body out of the water as possible. Even though you may feel colder out of the water, the rate of heat loss will be slower than if immersed in water.
• If you cannot get out of the water quickly, act to protect against rapid heat loss. In as little as 10 minutes, you may be unable to self-rescue. Your focus now should be to slow heat loss.
o Safety typically looks closer than it actually is, so staying with the boat is usually a better choice than swimming.
o Adopt a position to reduce heat loss. If alone, use the HELP (Heat Escape Lessening Posture) position; or if there are others in the water with you, huddle together. The HELP position looks similar to the fetal position.
o If you must swim, conserve energy and minimize movement. Swim on your back with your upper arms against the sides of your chest, your thighs together, and your knees bent. Flutter-kick with your lower legs.
• Be prepared at all times to signal rescuers.
• Seek medical help immediately.

Sir David Attenborough lied to us the. He said flubber is a good insulator.

Thank you for posting on what to do if you fall in.
Fisherman caught a big fish today.
What a whale. Wtf was she doing in there??? God, I hate being from Michigan… Representation is a nightmare
Wow, the woman was about to freeze to death and all you can talk about is her weight? Y'all should be ashamed honestly… ðŸ˜
Man I know exactly where this is
Imagine you're getting into a life-threatening situation, getting rescued and agree to get a video of it happening published, to teach people not to do the same mistakes, or showing the way those officers work, and all that the people on the Internet do is insult you and say you shouldn't have been rescued. Honestly, the comments on many videos on this channel are disgusting, but that's just it
Maybe now? She will attempt to fast or do a diet…
Did she want to go to North Korea under the ice?

Why tf is this lady wearing a tank top in the middle of what looks like winter
Wow this is the first time I get a ad from this channel
No lady you weren’t stuck as you claimed to be.
Thank God for these good people to save this woman!
You know I wonder if this was a sign for her to maybe try and lose a little bit of weight… might be easier to be lifted from another situation that requires aide from others.
Howd she get in there? Strange.
I’m pretty sure this is what they are talking about when they say obesity kills
CNN: Officer pushes girl in water, locals pulled her out.

Could I lift a car if lives were at stake?
Probably not

First time I have ever seen humans prevent a whale from being in its natural habitat
