Recent air travel is now thought to be a contributing factor, a study found.
Last month, a California man wasBut a mystery around the specific cause of death in these snorkeling fatalities — wherein the victim is often found to have not struggled or shown any distress signals before succumbing to the water — has now been revealed.
The study rebutted the common thought that drownings were caused by inexperience on the part of the swimmer, who may have inhaled water. Factors that may cause a fatal case of ROPE include increased exertion, the snorkeling equipment's resistance to inhalation and pre-existing conditions, the study found. This last factor explains why many snorkeling deaths are found among middle-aged men with an increased chance of heart conditions.
The study also states that data"strongly support that possibility" that recent long-distance air travel may also increase the chances of hypoxia. This conclusion goes some way to explaining why snorkeling deaths are more prevalent among tourists. "It is not unusual to find a snorkeller motionless in calm conditions, and not very long after entering the water. Often there are no signs of distress," the study said.
