Teenage boy sucked into pool pump

[e5]

That's awful. What a horrible way to die

He should have used common sense and felt the rush of the water going down to not lift the grate. Is risking your life to get your goggles back really worth it? Not that he knew he was going to die . The grate should have been bolted on.

Tragic that, hope his family are coping ok.

Is it me or are there a lot of incidents like this that happen to british families every year? Hope something can be done to make swimming pools less hazardous so things like these dont happen.

Also in Lady in the Water does Paul Giamatti go into the pumping system?

So after he went down the drain what did it take him to, i would have thought it would take him to a load of pipes?

They found his body in the engine room apprently

I dont get how it could have got their :s
it still sickens me that he was able to lift it, no bolts, nothing.

Surely the grill would of been bolted down? What a horrible way to go though, I'm amazed the pipes would of been big enough. Does Thailand have pretty odd whirlpool systems in their pools? I can't picture anywhere I know with a whirlpool area which has unbolted down grills and huge drains where the water goes down, they usually use powerful pumps

I suppose Health and Safety hasn't got them yet, a blessing

Found him in the engine room? Reminds me of a horror movie. Scary stuff. Rip.
