A statistician is the only person who can drown in waters of 1 centimeter average depth. :roll:

I think babies can too.

But I wouldn't leave it up to chance.

The risk vs. reward of finding out the answer just isn't worth it.

lol noobas, not sure if you missed the average part in Chrisax's post.

I'd say highly unlikely a baby could "drown" in 1cm of water as drowning is roughly defined by being "submerged in water". Should you not be fully submerged you would die of asphyxiation.

I think you missed the subtle irony of my post, but, since you want to discuss it, no you're actually wrong, you don't need to be submerged in water to drown, death by drowning is exactly, death by asphixiation.

However you want to define it further, it doesn't matter, since the two are the same.

I grew up on a farm, where our dog had puppies, and we didn't want the puppies, so my step dad drowned them by holding their head under water. I'm convinced they "drowned", but weren't "submerged".

yes but that 12.58 are either natives or Amish people so that doesn't count since they renounce technology through either religion or the fact they haven't evolved!

59% of the population are highly sceptical to statistics.
