  • Well done vid. Very clear and to the point. Thanks.

  • I can't even swim so if you can't will you will probably die am i right? i can float on my back tho haha

  • I am adding this video to my squidoo . com lens about rip currents. :-)

  • @allenzero1 mother nature lol

  • @MLB89 most true RIP currents no but many ppl call any pulling current a RIP current by mistake

  • @cosmicGOON I live in Michigan an I can attest to that it's all 2 true.

    Our fuckin lakes our so big they generate many dangerous currents some spots the Ocean is WAY safer,

    Aka near our Detroit river in a lot of spots namely near the bridge will kill you 4 sure

  • @randomboys1000 they can  vary in strength widely

  • @ronzy depends 2 if it's Ocean based if so getting dragged out can be lethal just the same butalso as he said reefs could be 2 ether side which will also mess you up pretty badly, So in the end it's about staying calm an considering your situation wisely not in haste.:.

  • @astral360 thats some balls well done!
