It pretty much should...can you clarify why you don't think thats the case for you if you lay on your back in the water?

    I'm not sure, but I can't say I haven't tried what other people have to the same effect as them. I am not as immune to gravity I guess.

    The fat in your body does tho, regardless of how skinny you are. Think about how people try to "bury" dead bodies in water and how they seem to float up at the worst times lol

    That may explain things then, if factoring in I'm on the underweight side.

    Right but you still have fat in you and water, and bone, and muscle, all of which combine to inform my assertion that you cannot sink if you simply lay back and allow yourself to float. You also have 2 natural floatation devices which as a male I am not blessed with ;)

    Presumably even taking your underweightedness into account

    Oh yeah, those two little buddies hanging out down below my shoulders. Well I guess, supposing I do find myself in a situation involving it, I'll naturally keep people here up to date on if water wins out.

    You mean this one? It doesn't seem very related to sizeable breasts or vulnerability to drowning to me.
