Reply to comment by InconspicuousChud in TIL On land, when you are in an emergency situation, your survival instinct is usually to stay on your feet so you’re prepared to maneuver out of the danger. When you’re in the water in an emergency, that same instinctive reaction can lead to one of the most deadly accidents: foot entrapment. by Rhacoon
It's more of an advertisement from a water shoe company than an article

"people can get stuck on rocks if they try to stand up in water" is a funny and absurd thing to share on a subreddit about facts that you've learned for the first time. That's why I left my comment.
I don't understand why you are trying to explain to me the mechanism behind getting stuck on rocks when one tries to stand in water.
>putting your feet down is ... to keep your foot from getting wedged or stuck between rocks. On the ground or otherwise.
What does this mean

I never would have guessed that people stand up, let alone that standing can cause your foot to come in contact with things on the ground. TIL!

It explains why you and the other person that responded to my intentionally reductive comment are assuming I don't know that your feet can get stuck on things? Because that's the only thing I'm confused about
