at school we went to six flags for a field trip and i almost drowned in the wave pool i went to the deep end and the waves came on and i tried to get to the shallow end but the waves kept on going over my head and i tried to breathe but it was hopeless more and more waves came over so i yelled STOP.... THE.... WAVES!...... and so they had to shut them off then a life guard jumped in asked if i was ok then brought me to shallow water he was not mad i was like omg ty. and im 11
if you notice the signs they are holding it says audit in progress... so yeah it's not real.. just a test. we get these all the time at the waterpark i work at
@Ihit2run2 We do spinals with guests in the park too. When Ellis comes to audit, they'll generally do one with guests, so to make sure we're ready for the Ellis audits we do them occasionally. We don't even clear the pool before hand. It makes it far more realistic.
i love how they have to hold up the sighns,but you can totaly tell this was a test,they do that sometimes at water parks,ive been to six flags same thing happened,but they where moving really really slow so you can tell it is a test
@rivasjuan1 Everyone communicates aloud in case someone makes a mistake it is corrected immediately. Also, when the idiot who dove into 3 feet of water tries to sue the park the witnesses can verify that the lifeguards knew exactly what they were doing.
@rivasjuan1 no its not a song,its so if any one gets it wrong its corrected,also thats how long they have to look listen and feel for breathing,if no breathing you'll have to do CRP,and yes they will most likley sing in a real situation only because they dont want to get the seconds wrong,one second off can maybe kill the person because the person might have been in the water with no one noticing,or how long to get the spinal board on,5 minutes and the person might go brain dead
Just a little advice for the lifeguards in the vid from what I saw not to hate on u or anything but if its a spilan injure then just leave everything on, the straps, and the head blocks were taken off you can still do cpr with every thing on. and rember jaw-thrust maneuver with a spinal injure thats all nothing but love just trying to help.
@coldtemperature We do daily drills where I work ranging from CPR/AED on the deck to a full out deep water submerged spinal rescue. The patrons tend to appreciate that we stay on top of our skills...
@hyperlitebordr21 Question ive always wanted to ask.. Can you be a submerged Spinal? Like i get that they can sink over time.. But most would injure the neck and float up, (Oxygen in their lungs) How do you know they're a spinal and not just submerged...? thats what i asked my instructor, whats your opinion?
@tristanwellingz Because say they jump off a diving board and hit their neck/head on the board....then they become a pinal and they are in deep water, they may not go unconscience immediatly, and could swallow water before they go unconscience and before the lifeguard gets to the victim...
@MASKtheband I understand that, but how does that relate to the possibility of a submerged spinal victim, I understand that them hitting their head off the board, then falling into water would be an example of a spinal...but there is (at our pools at least) a guard in the deep end supervising dive towers and ropes etc. So the lifeguards there could observe its a spinal and effectively clear the pool, but i was wondering, how would YOU handle/ID a submerged spinal. would u board any 1 unconscious
@tristanwellingz Yes i would board an unconscious victim.......they taught us how to in red cross training.......it is a very rare case where there is a deep, submerged, passive neck injury, but it does happen. You use manual inline stabilazation to surface them, and then another guard puts a tube under you, then your victim. Then you board him/her
@MASKtheband What it comes down to...is the the victim unconscious and not breathing or r they conscious rember your ABC are first if there not breathing u want to get them out of the water as soon as u can try your best to keep inline stabilazation and start working on them. If there conscious then take your time and go thrugh the steps. I rather be alive with a spinal injure then dead with a spinal injure!
@AolePilikia42 That's what we are taught. Its LIFE over Limb, as in, most would be appreciative of being alive and paralyzed over dead and well... dead. So in the case of a Submerged Spinal Victim, the most important thing would be to get them up above the water (protecting the airway) and then treating them as a spinal victim once they are out of the pool/on the surface.
They said BSI, if you listen to it carfully. when you are doing a drill the head guards tell you to just say BSI. I'm a lifeguard my self. an trained by Ellis. How ever they moved the GID more then 6ft away from the water. which is ok but it screws up your 10/3

I'm sorry to all you fellow Ellis guards, I'm an auditor for you and hate to inform you of the fact that different pools have different policies. It is stated ATLEAST 6' from the pool, but being that I also work on an ambulance service, if I show up to any of your pools and the patient is only 6' away from the water i'd slap you then carry them further from the water. You are trained from a book, the only exception to the book is real life, gotta adapt.
actually nvm, you guys actually did a really good job. @track818
you dont actually physically put the gloves on in the audit, and even if they had, the guards on the backboard have ALREADY gloved up, so therefore they can immediately start assessing the GID once he's out of the water
LMAO!!! i work at carowinds as a lifeguard.. this is my 3rd year.. i kno how the audits go.. ugh i hate them.. especially if the park is crowded... and u have 2 do crowd control... is six flags water park ellis or red cross?
that was actually one of my superviors they pulled out. but there was a worse audit. it involved the pool tech falling off the back wall. it actually scared the shit out of the lifeguards. good thing we kno wat to do
@track818 no we r trained my them as i point out again it was an audit. they told us that priority was get them out and for training purposes it didnt matter how close we were or if we had gloves. we kno how far we have to be in the real event and we kno we have to have gloves on.

Well it's great that you guys test, but I'm guessing you aren't trained by Ellis and Associates.
You carried the body way high, completely avoiding the six feet away from water and six inches above the ground, even strapped in that is in effect
Also, you guys did not glove up o_o I believe that was mandatory before any contact with the GID
And just curious for safety sake, where was the Trauma bag at the moment?
