His dad Ronald, had made him promise to not let go of the inner tube on the way down, so, Ronald shot down the slide, screaming all the way, Cullen followed, gripping the tube tightly. "When I hit the bottom of the ride, there was this huge pool of water, and I flipped right over," Jones recalls. But he didn't let go of the tube. "I actually passed out," he says. "They had to give me CPR, and when I woke up, I was like, okay, what's the next ride? It could have changed my life completely if it was traumatic. I might never have touched the water again."Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:18:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/05/26/hm.prevent.minority.drowning/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/05/26/hm.prevent.minority.drowning/index.html#cnnSTCTextMarquez Benson, 9, sits patiently on the edge of the indoor pool at the Boys and Girls Club near downtown Atlanta, Georgia.Mon, 26 May 2008 15:03:00 EDT
