It is possible to drown in a very little bit of water, especially if you've fallen unconscious, or for some reason can't get your face out of the water for air.

ONE minute burly Hervey Bay security guard Mark Rosenberg was chatting and laughing with friends at a backyard party.
Then he stepped into a child's blow-up wading pool with a few centimetres of water, slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly.
Ten days later his partner, Lesley "Lilli" Harrop, friends and family are still trying to come to terms with the freak accident that claimed the life of a man so fit and tough that he once acted as a security guard for boxing champion Kostya Tszyu.
"I think I'm still in shock – it's so hard to grasp," Ms Harrop said at the Urangan home they shared yesterday.
"I would have thought he would go out on a (motor) bike, not some way like that.
"The weather was so hot that he stepped into the pool and then he slipped forward, broke his neck when he fell and suffered a massive heart attack.
"The coroner said in his report that there was no alcohol in his body.
"When you're so young you don't expect to be sort of like a widow at this age . . . it makes you appreciate life in a whole new way."
Ms Harrop said Mark, 36, who had three children from a previous relationship, had moved four years ago to Hervey Bay from Lithgow, west of Sydney, where he grew up, and they had been together more than a year.
"He was very easy-going – sensitive and caring and romantic. I used to call him 'My prince', " Ms Harrop said, recalling how he spent hours setting up balloons for her birthday party last September.
She said she had been entertaining friends from New Zealand on the evening of January 10, when he kissed her and left on his Harley Davidson motorcycle to attend the party at nearby Torquay.
"I said: 'Goodbye, my prince' and he rode off . . . I didn't know until I got called at 8.15 the next morning."
(It is so unfortunate isn't it. The fact that the neck breaking didn't kill him but the heart attack)

I never heard about it & I'm from Brisbane
& you'd think that one would make headlines
although heaps of people have accidients at home & die & you don't hear about them
tiles would kill heaps of people I should imagine as they can be very slipery
