The report, "Worker drowns after cart rolls into golf course pond" (ST; Sep 2, 2006) highlights the danger of falling into a pond. While deep water is normally more risky than shallow water, the Singapore Life Saving Society considers every body or container of water a potential hazard. Drownings have been known to occur in water of as little as five centimetres in depth.Err... 5cm of water can kill a person?

Was just reading through the articles in the link I've provided, too curious.
My question still haven't been answered... what causes drowning in ponds?

Still can't imagine.Originally posted by hisoka:they probably fell unconcious and nose/mouth covered by water so drown.
It really depends the depth of the pond. If the person can stand up on the base of the pond, the person shouldn't be drowned unless:Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Not trying to underestimate what ponds can do to us, but it surprises me. And got one question to ask. How does one gets himself/herself drown in a pond? The structure of the pond? The depth? Or other reasons?
Err... 5cm of water can kill a person?![]()

Will. Don't need to ask.Originally posted by hisoka:imagine you knock out this person by heading him on the back of the head or soemthing. then he falls into a bowl/pool of water 5 cm high.
just nice covers his mouth and nose so he cannot breathe.
