Listen carefully as Lilly explains the mistakes leading up to her first (and only) blackout from 3 years ago so you can avoid them in your diving.

Wow I got chills seeing Lilly blackout with her eyes open. It looked... well, it looked a lot worse than it was. I would be a lot less calm than the safety divers if something like that happened in front of me! I'm really glad to hear she was fine and has never gone through that experience again.

Thank you for your excellent explanation of your experience. I grew up doing lots of snorkeling and probably pushed myself way to far many times. Now that I'm older and wanting to start free diving and spearfishing, knowing about the blackout, I'm wanting to go about this new experience safely and your video and dialogue is outstanding. Glad you were safe during your blackout.

Thank you for sharing your experience Yesterday I also blacked out during a local freediving competition. The symptoms were very similar to what you described. I watched your video earlier and your explanations poped up in mind during my attempt. But still I was thinking that I'm doing fine)) Thanks to our wonderful rescue team, I'm fine and going to learn from that.

We were just watching a random Daily Dose of Internet Video and I said “That looks like Lilly!” Very impressed with everything!

That is amazing you didnt even know how to swim and then you learn and start freediving!

I'm very interested in medical stuff, so I hope this doesn't sound cruel. It's super interesting and very fascinating to me how fast you lost colour in the face and how pale your eyes were after coming back. Really shows what's going on in the body and how certain mechanics immediately stop. Your eyes looked very disoriented. I only blacked out once in my life so far and it sure is a mean feeling. It's scary but super fascinating. To make this a bit less creepy though: I'm very glad you're ok and nothing happened. It is absolutely impressive how far you made it and how long you held your breath.

Very good comment and observations - I was very confused right after coming too and then realized after a few seconds and felt so embarassed! The blackout is the body's amazing protective mechanism to conserve remaining O2 to support the brain and vitals from damage. When muscles and consiouness are shut down then it buys time for safety team to rescue, but if this process is delayed significantly then major problems coming back will occur! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and I didn't take it as creepy at all!

Definitely! I just read of someone who was doing this with no one around a few days ago and unfortunately had a blackout and didn't make it 😕 happens too often which is why we were ok with sharing such an embarassing video !

I know the memory gap issues from martial arts, when you choke someone out. When the brain shuts down it doesn't shut down everything at once. First off, colour fades. Then you get tunnel vision as a black curtain closes in from your peripheral vision. Then your short time memory shuts down. And another second later you are out. In self defense this is also an actual problem, since an attacker who has literally been choked unconscious often doesn't grasp that he was already out cold.

It was scary seeing it the first time, but it is interesting seeing how quick the recovery is with proper rescue procedures, and very interesting experience :D

This same thing happened to me a year ago, except it was at the bottom of a 15ft deep pool. I purged myself of CO2 and did back and forth laps at the bottom of the pool. Then I woke up in the hospital. Doctors told me that after passing out, the lack of air triggered a seizure which I was experiencing even after the lifeguards pulled me out and I arrived at the hospital. Because the lifeguards were so used to seeing me hold my breath, it wasn’t until after 5 minutes lying at the bottom that they realized I was asleep.

Wow that's nuts! 5 mins blacked out is no joke, and really glad you are still alive.

Lifeguards aren't trained enough on freediving blackouts but here in Canada it's getting better

That is spooky. I have seen other swimmers black out like this. Their training at not breathing is so intense they will, as seen, literally swim until they drown given a chance. The average person, like me, can go only so far before we lose our air and come up without ever being truly low on oxygen. It is how we are wired and how our software works. Training to get good at something is great. Training to the level of suicide takes a different mindset. It is good they have safety people nearby.

Since you blacked out during the competition does that disqualify you? I mean I think you did an amazing job and surpassed what u were reaching for.

Can someone tell me how to prevent blackout and what causes blackout

@androopr

3 жыл бұрын

Good question, the answer is too long to be able to properly type here, but to briefly summarize: Cause- When we hold our breath underwater our oxygen levels slowly deplete to a point where it is too low to sustain consciousness. The blackout is our bodies' protective measure to prevent damage to our vitals, as it preserves the little remaining oxygen to protect the brain and vital organs. Prevent - by training and progressing in slow increments, and learning to recognize the warning signs (tunnel vision, fuzzy thoughts, warm feelings, feel like you can go forever, etc)

How long can you last without breathing but not moving?? I always wondered how long freedivers could hold their breath for
