Sports Apparently freediving is an honest-to-God sport with a world cup and everything. That's gotta be one boring sport to watch: Announcer: He's going into the water!Well, there's always the excitement when people's hearts stop and they have to be dragged out of the water and resuscitated. (Or, sometimes, not. A well-known freediver [well-known among people who know about freediving, anyway] died last year during her "No Limits World Record" attempt. The investigator's report talks a lot about ascent bag lift and cable tension and hydrodynamic instabilities, but I can't help thinking that perhaps part of the problem was that, for God's sake, she went 169 meters down and had been under for nearly four minutes when she lost consciousness. Not to put too fine a point on it but...apparently there are some limits.) [ at 10:59 PM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
