Recent incidents in the Netherlands have resulted in multiple fatalities as individuals attempted to rescue others from drowning in lakes and the sea. Experts emphasize that while the impulse to assist a person in distress is a natural human instinct, attempting a water rescue is highly dangerous and technically difficult for untrained individuals.
Authorities and safety experts advise that the most effective action in such emergencies is to contact emergency services by calling 112. This guidance aims to prevent secondary drownings by discouraging bystanders from entering the water and instead prioritizing professional intervention.
