The guy in this video says he cannot swim up from the bottom of a pool if he has a weight belt of 15 kg (14 kg is the absolute limit for him).
I really got me thinking, seems like certain CTB then to have a weight vest of 30 kg and also to handcuff my hands, and jump into a lake/pond/the sea. With the cuffs,
I won't be able to swim with my hands or remove the vest. I would be treading water with my legs but I guess it would be impossible to swim up treading water with a 30 kg vest? (I will attach a pic of a vest, to show an example). One concern I have is that maybe the velcro on the vest might open up when I go underwater with it? I'm not sure about this, just a concern.
Some questions:
- Would it be hard to carry the 30kg to the destination? I would have to walk for a bit as I don't have a car.
- Would it be possible for a rescue team to lift me up from the water with that added weight? I already weigh over 100 kg :) (i will make sure it is at least 3 meters or so deep where I jump in)
- Could I add even more weight, say like 20 kgs in a seperate backpack as well? 50 kg of weights in total I would imagine would be impossible to swim up with using only the legs, but maybe it would be too hard to carry it to the destination?
- Does my overall weight increase the amount of weights I could potentially swim up with? The guy in video seems like an experienced swimmer, but he is quite slim. I'm really fat, would that require more weights?
Positives and negatives about this method:
+ Seems very certain. SI won't matter because I won't be able to swim up anyway.
+ Doesn't require any special gear or drugs, just stuff you can easily buy online.
+ I don't really trust overdose or ingestion methods, I know other people have succeeded with them but I'm always worried it won't work, or that I will panic and call 911 or alert my neighbours. With this method, I won't be able to anything or alert anyone, nothing will matter as soon as I get into the water with the handcuffs and the weights.
- Drowning is said to be really painful
- There is room for someone to witness it and call 911 to "save" me, which would probably leave me with brain damage. Must do this at night and in darkness, at a secluded place.
Thanks for reading :)
