Hot Tubs Can Be Dangerous

A woman and husband, on holiday in Spain. have died in their hot tub because the husband got stuck on the suction outlet.
His wife tried to save him.
Neither of them drowned. It seems the exertion from their struggles caused cardiac arrest.

I wouldn’t have believed it was possible,

Anyone here got a hot tub or tried one?
I’ve always fancied one.

Never fancied one personally, even less so now…

There’s also the danger of being poached…

Many years ago for a Christmas treat I rented a house in Perthshire which had an outdoor hot tub and an indoor steam room. Both were excellent for a very chilly Scottish winter. The real treat was sitting in a very warm tub, under the stars with a bottle of something fizzy.
It was dangerous of course - the decking around it was frosted and quite slippy.

Not if there’s a risk of being sucked down a large plughole, or worse.

What a terrible thing to happen to this couple.

I’m guessing that this a freak accident, the exception rather than the norm, not that I’m budgeting for a hot tub

Look after the pennies…
