So basically the bright orange they make flight suits out of for this exact reason.
Similar reason why OSHA universally requires that and/or neon green as their high vis colors
I wasn’t afraid of drowning at work before, but now I am :D
Solution: don’t work next to a body of water bigger than a job site bucket
I work in an office, but if I trip and fall 10km to the west, I’ll be right in the middle of the bay! Gonna wear speedos to work from now on to be safe.
Make sure it’s a high vis speedo and nothing else, tell HR it’s for safety
The alt text opened for me before the image. A person. Lol
you guys wear swimsuits?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This science is also why a lot of actual dive watches throughout the decades have had orange and yellow dials. They’re much easier to read at depth.

The most famous orange dial diver is the Doxa 300, which was first introduced in the ‘60’s. They still make modern versions of it, in a whole rainbow of colors. I own an orange and yellow.
And ironically, none of these colors on the chart show natural nude skin colors…
Most people don’t wear swimsuits the color of their skin.
I guess my point flew right over your head.
Some people occasionally swim naked. The guide shows how visible different colors are in possible drowning situations.
So, for a more complete guide, it should also include natural skin colors.
It was mostly a joke, I’m aware that people routinely swim naked! For a rescuer or lifeguard, it’s important to take that into consideration.
You’re good LOL!
But on a more serious satirical thought, did they really have to drown 14 people to make this guide?
It’s called science sir.
We do what we must because we can, for the good of all of us (except the ones who are dead.)
we’ll keep trying till we run out of cake.
People can’t change their skin color when going to swim, but they can choose the color of their swim suits.
Creating a guide to show which color people are easiest to save from drowning doesn’t make any sense for anything but analytical reasons
