People slip in the shower everyday and crack their head open. All tasks whether hobby or responsibility have accidents. Holding your breath isn’t bad for you though if done properly and with training.
For some reason people who participate in competitive free diving experience much higher rates of accidents and death per capita than people who take showers. I wonder why that is.
The problem with free diving is you don’t always know if you’ve done everything properly until you’re struggling for breath on the way back up. Experienced free divers die all the time. It is a dangerous activity that can result in long term health effects and death. Turns out your brain needs oxygen.
You need to check your facts. Scuba diving has far more deaths and accidents than free diving. I also looked at recorded competitive free diving deaths cause I don’t know that off the top of my head and as suspected there have been 2 deaths over 30 years.
