Man drowns trying to save Subaru
 
From todays Daily Record click

ALi-B 27 January 2006 12:44 PM

What is it with Subarus and water (Subaru In A Loch )? :cuckoo:

Tragic anyway :(

Luke C 27 January 2006 01:01 PM

Pretty tragic. Still seems a bit odd to swim out to a car in water? Could he really have done anything? :(

BlueSimon 27 January 2006 01:06 PM

Lets just hope the car didnt go above 30mph while rolling into or under the water, otherwise the police are bound to spend time recording the 'crime' and serving notice.

But seriously, its amazing what silly and dangerous things we do when something unexpected like that happens, probably just trying to save themselves money by not getting someone to do it and also under the delution that they would somehow get it started or repaired easily.

Ive done stupid things like this on a much smaller scale when i was young, its a pity that someone has lost there life instead of learned a lesson that most people get away with.

Your a long time dead!

mgcvk 27 January 2006 02:25 PM

Its even dafter than people losing their lives trying to rescue dogs from lakes and canals.

Wurzel 27 January 2006 02:55 PM

Pulled him out after an hour and a half and tried to revive him but was pronounced dead at the hospital!!!

No **** he was dead after being in the loch for an hour and a half, man he must have some lungs if he was expected to survive that long under water.

also why did his mate not pull him out if he was tied to a rope????

The mind boggles it really does.

LUCKO 27 January 2006 03:00 PM

how exactly was he going to lift/pull a car that weighs over 1200kg out of a Loch? :cuckoo: shame, he could have been our next prime minister

ru' 27 January 2006 03:32 PM

Didn't he have a rope?

Poor guy; you can just imagine him swimming out and all the onlookers shouting "SIAL" at him... :(

It's been well established that some people who appear to be dead after some considerable time under water can be successfully revived. A number of children who have slipped under the ice on frozen lakes have been revived in this way. I personally know of someone who was caught under fast flowing water for 50 minutes whilst canyoning and survived.

So not so stupid after all :rolleyes:

JIAP? :lol1:

jasonius 28 January 2006 01:26 PM

What no sypathetic drivel for this guy..! :rolleyes: (suppose it's because it's a SIAL..!)

Paul3446 29 January 2006 02:31 AM

Am I the only person who thinks this story doesn't quite ring true, for example:

"It is understood the car, which was parked on the banks, may have rolled into the water when one of the men put his foot on it to tie a shoelace."

Yeah I mean that happens all the time to me! Also, if it just rolled into the water from a standstill, surely it would be at the edge of the loch so you wouldn't need to swim out to it?

bluto22b 29 January 2006 08:42 PM

What does SIAL mean exactly? :confused:

RRH 29 January 2006 10:27 PM

Refers to Subaru in a lake, a photo that newbies will post from time to time saying 'have you seen this? it's dead funny'.

We'll let you off on this occasion as the search facility isn't working ;)

ryn004 29 January 2006 11:28 PM

Probably because only a doctor can pronounce somebody dead, the paramedic crews can't in general. Not funny really....
It would have been thoughif it was a Volvo he was trying to lift :lol1:

Good point, He must have had some heavy foot, didnt realise his own strength and gave it a welly....or he's a fat git.:wonder: ...and a tad jealous so put a brick on its accelerator...hmmmmm

julesp600 30 January 2006 10:09 AM

That is so tragic. I don't think that putting your foot on the car to tie a lace would push it into the loch though!

Perhaps the friend couldn't pull him out with the rope because he was too heavy? If it was really cold and wet it does make things heavier.

No matter what, this is really sad.

Maybe his shoes were made out of dark matter and he was actually a very strong giant with big feet? :confused:
