About: Pool suction-drain injury

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Pool suction drain injury, also known as suction entrapment, occurs when the drain of a wading pool, swimming pool, or hot tub suck in a swimmer's jewelry, torso, limbs, hair or buttocks. Evisceration, also known as disembowelment, could happen in case of buttock entrapment. A standard 8 inches (20 cm) main drain exerts 350 pounds of pressure, which would hold the person in water in tight grip until either the vacuum valve is broken, or the person drowns, defying the rescue efforts of multiple adults.

dbo:abstract
  • Pool suction drain injury, also known as suction entrapment, occurs when the drain of a wading pool, swimming pool, or hot tub suck in a swimmer's jewelry, torso, limbs, hair or buttocks. Evisceration, also known as disembowelment, could happen in case of buttock entrapment. A standard 8 inches (20 cm) main drain exerts 350 pounds of pressure, which would hold the person in water in tight grip until either the vacuum valve is broken, or the person drowns, defying the rescue efforts of multiple adults. One way to make drains safer is to install shut-off valves and dome-shape drains that are less likely to create a suction effect with the human body, as required in the United States by the 2008 Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act.
