To think I used to go to the little suction pumps at the community pool when I was a kid and push leaves and bugs in to it. Amazing I survived the 90's.

Final destination...

I’m so scared of pool drains, they just look soo scary!! Especially wave pool ones Whenever I’m near one, I become the worlds best Olympic swimmer

When the pump is under so much load it should auto shutdown..

Just imagine a dark black pool drain that has a crack on it and theres bubbles comeing out of it 😬😬😬😬

I would also recommend an emergency e stop near the pool on a wall or the fence!

Just an additional idea popped into my mind at the end of this. They should have some sort of building around this as well, with holes thin enough for the water to get through but nothing else. I pictured something like an upside down laundry basket over top of that drain area to keep kids and things FAR away, and adding a secondary protectivefeature. It doesn't make sense to me that we are combining something this dangerous along with something priceless and the MOST PRECIOUS (children happily swimming in the pool) -- Why are we even letting something with that much suction or power anywhere NEAR where any of us swim?! There should be some sort of protective area that is much bigger over it as a back up.

There should also always be a lifeguard by drain site to make sure people keep away from it or just to monitor it incase someone gets trapped there.

All pool drains should be turned off during swimming time and there should be a camera under water or a alarm if something or someone is near the a drain And life Guards near the pool make sure changing drains every year or so I know Pools have to circulate water if you can’t turn off the suction know we’re the switch is

"Once it's gotcha, it's gotcha"

When I was a kid my parents told me about some kid who was dared to sit on the pool drain and it sucked his insides out. No wonder I'm afraid of pool drains and wave generators in wave pools and stuff like that.

*Destroy all pool drains*

In new york they are banning that very drain cover beacause 3 kids got killed by that drain cover! One kid got his head stuck to it and he got his hair ripped out of his head,but he drowned. This is a serious problem and i know beacuase tgis happened to me my arm was stuck for a good minuit but i was luckly able to stay awake enough to be able to be saved by my freind we were having a pool party! We instulled new very safe drain cover I have never been sucked in again!

The ball example seems odd as you wouldnt have an open drain like that.

Glad he survived

I hope pools have auto-shut off once there’s substantial pressure difference..

This is EXACTLY why I have a phobia of pool drains.

Don’t leave anyone and I mean anyone un attended around water especially elders and young ones.. If you have children or you are in charge of children you watch them like a hawk around even kiddy pools.

There should be an emergency shut off switch that lifeguards can pull, it’s that simple, there are too many preventable accidents like this, or even a box type grate cover to prevent accidents such as this, there has to be something mandatory done across the board.

Came from a post on instagram

Dude one time my arm got stuck in one when I was 13 I survived because it was not deep also it dose actually hurt when a large pump is pulling on your arm

This was a really well done bit

As soon as I was finished I was like thank you for traumatizing me

I had a nightmare that I was a little kid again and I got too close to a pool drain and It sucked my whole body inside it and I couldn't escape and that's when I woke up just as got sucked in I will always have a big fear of those wretched things!!!

centers must pay x for pool tech!! and inform the lifesavers.

Just a lil traumatized... just a lil

Interesting, thank god the boy is ok

bro when i was a kid i used to stick my finger in the thing on the side of the pool because it sucked and felt funny but you could always pull your fingers out dunno what there called tho

We must make pools that don't kill our children! No shit.

Horrifying 😱

Vgb drain covers are required now

"Delta P, once its gotcha, its gotcha!"

Oh thank God

A basketball is more difficult to release but still

Does the sucking force of the drain rip off skin and suck your intestines out (for that kind of accidents)? I don't get why the skin is ripped off from the first place.

That loud voice was God.. call his name! He saved your child

How bout just remove the drains and then if you wanna drain the pool there's a hose connected to the pool pump that you put the hose in the pool and it drains

You don't have to capitalize every single word.

Yes Like final destinations

Why do we even need these. Use a pump

4:20, we have recommended that the government force everyone to buy our products.

WTF that's not a pool drain

.

Folks if your scared of a silly little drain, stay away from it, if you can handle it, then don’t swim.

Man this entire thing was just a publicity stunt
