death by water
 

thats wild...its sad what people will do for stuff

i think this happened b4 but it was for a fraternity

i wonder if any1 got charged

your right, we had a speaker come to capmus to talk about hazing and he mentioned a college guy who died from water intoxication...I wonder how much water she consumed :eek:

oo oo! me next!

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH i wonder if she won the Wii

How is that in any way, shape, or form funny??

She was trying to do something for her CHILDREN and got freakishly taken from them in the process.

Funny?

Heard this a couple of days ago. Now all the people at the station are getting fired for not knowing the possible consequences.

my title is better

can some one sue over this?

why are they being fired? didnt the participant sign waivers?

no, but the family wins lots of money.

that woman was an idiot

let me guess...the family is going to sue? noone forced her to act like a retard....just like when people sue McDonalds cause they got fat...ITS YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT YOU CANT STOP EATING, NOT THEIRS!

not likely, no doubt the station's lawyers had participants sign some sort of an injury waiver, especially if it was a contest involving consuming mass quantities of anything.

ironically, the exact same day this happened (and with no knowledge of it), a co-worker and myself had a contest to see how much of a 5 gallon office water cooler we could drink. I drank 128 oz (1 gal) in about 50 minutes. After that, I felt dizzy, sick, and my kidneys started to hurt. Thats when I decided to stop. It was crazy scary-- I ate some salty snacks because I read that too much water starves your body of sodium and thats how you can die from it.

that sucks she did it for her kids and look what happens it just goes to show that when its your day to go he comes to get you

way to be a compassionate human being, and you wonder why people dont like you and bust your balls all the time. here the lady was trying to do something for her kids and a unfortunately she died. and here are you all high and mighty calling this lady a retart. you suck at life..do not pass go do not collect respect...straight to hell with you.

I heard the actual aired contest this morning on Opie and Anthony. They kept going back and interviewing this poor girl as she just got sicker and sicker right in front of them. Apprently there was a medical intern on site during the contest and he told her she would be fine, she went home and 5 hours later she went to sleep and died. They said she was a tiny little woman and her stomach was so swollen from the water she looked as if she were pregnant but they continually asked her to stop and she kept going. Its really sad, some stupid contest and 3 kids are left without a Mother...

ps- she did not win, she came in 2nd, her prize was tickets to see Justin Timberlake.

Tragic.

that about sums it up...

Yea, we actually got a whole crash course on this. We expected a mob of dumbass Lehigh guys to try this.

Supposedly this chick had a Hematocrit level of something like 89%.

Hematocrit is the concentration of Red blood cells to plasma/ White blood cells/ Buffer contents.

The normal range for a female is something like 42% + or - 5%.

She essentially sent herself into a Anemia, not because of lack of O2 or a Hemmoragic Anemia but because she he sooo many swelled Red blood cells that they clogged their coronary pathways. The body doubled its amount of O2 carrying red blood cells in an attempt to blast out the blocked arteries/ veins and get O2 to the vital organs.

wow, my brain needs a break.

I have no idea what all that means but apparently you do!:thumbup:

Damn it! I should have gone to medical school....

i hope you die

Let me teach you a little secret about life.........

You know you want to be something with your life right?

You know that medical school isnt too hard in itself right?

Sooooo all you have to do is tell yourself, "This is what I want to be, heres the work, I need to get a A, so im going to stay home tonight and study."

Thats all I did.

Wanna know what i got on my SAT's?

a 900.

wanna know what I got on my SAT's ?

nothing, I dropped out of highschool when I was a junior and then worked my way up. got my GED and then went to community college, it's amazing how people won't really be interested in what highschool you went to if you leave it out of a resume aslong as you have colleges down

Yea, I was the biggest D-bag in HS. Then had one teacher changed it all. Thats when I went and took placement tests :)

And got in!

I was just highlighting the general stupidity of people who do retarded **** to get something. True, its sad that someone has passed away, but come on. When you are doing something that is making you sick, and people are telling you to stop, but you insist to keep going, it doesnt highlight you as being very bright.

absolutely.

I was a slacker after highschool, therefore I am 25 and STILL in college.

When you get older responsibilities (ie, bills, car payments, health insurance) take priority over the things that REALLY matter like a good educaction that can eventually get you where you want to go in life. This is why I scored an 1180 on my SATs and work at a bank....

Waivers are worthless when it comes to negligence. exspesially in california
