hunh. I would swear I saw that system previewed on Beyond 2000 many years ago.
That show rocked.

 

[sygyzy]

2005 *is* Beyond 2000!

 

[Cheezeit]

wow

 

[ghostman]

Whoa. Talk about an advertisement for the system.

 

[ironcrotch]

now they just need to attach urine spectrometers to detect kids warming the pool

 

[quakefiend420]

pretty cool :thumbsup:

 

[BS911]

awesome! Worth every penny buy saving just one life!

 

[Grey]

Damn, that system has already paid for itself in life saved and lawsuit averted.

If they paid lifeguards a decent wage, we could probably hire more competent people and wouldn't need camera systems like this.

I was a lifeguard for years in high school and college, and I would never leave my kids safety in the hands of many of the clowns that I worked with.

Yes, that's what we need. Sucking more tax payer dollars into uneducated workers. . .

 

[spidey07]

wow.

good stuff. Props to the guy getting in there and doing what is needed. wonder why he didn't pick up on her. But really, she was only under for like 25 seconds. One would think the guard would have picked her up. With that system though, the reaction time is much lower I'm sure.

<---guarded for a while.

timswim, read the article, it's not called a "silent drowning" for nothing. keeping an eye on EVERY person in a pool of 10+ is nearly impossible. get off your high horse and realize that the camera system is important.

 

[Zim Hosein]

Giving credit where credit is due

 

[Nebor]

Wow, that computer is amazing!

 

[Grey]

I didnt even see the video link, damn that was even more impressive watching the software work. There were people swimming over the girl, that would be hard to pick out people on the bottom under that.
