Men: you are 4 times more likely to accidentally die from this than women.

Men: you are 4 times more likely to accidentally die from this than women.

Every day, about ten people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger.

Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States.

The main factors that affect drowning risk are lack of swimming ability, lack of barriers to prevent unsupervised water access, lack of close supervision while swimming, location, failure to wear life jackets, alcohol use, and seizure disorders.

For some odd reason, those who are at a highest risk of drowning are men, since nearly 80 % of the people who die from drowning are male.

Best thing you can do is learn how to swim in order to prevent this kind of incidents.
