reverse dunk or lift out

[messylaura]

something that has always appealed to me is being lifted right out of a pool or mess and slowly returned to a hard surface like a floor etc
i saw this a loooooong time ago in a film, a woman, fully clothed was pulled out of a pool by her arms by two men, she was lifted clear of the edge and slowly lowwered to the poolside standing up, i recently saw the un-nammed clip on wet in red but lost it
the appeal for me is all that water comming off you at once and slowly being plonked on the ground with that lovely feeling as water squelches out of your shoes mmmmmmmmmm

so what if the a dunk tank or a pool had a lifting arm to do just that, does the slow lifting out and being set on the ground appeal to anyone else
maybe being lifted and lowered in the water / gunge a few times?

Sounds like a medieval ducking stool for witches!

I've seen clips from a Dutch TV show where they lowered two women, fully dressed and in harnesses, onto seats in large transparent tubes, then poured all manner of gunge over them, then at the end lifted them out of the by now half-full tubes and set them down on the studio floor. That did look like fun!

I'd love to rent one of those swimming pools that has an adjustable floor, have it raised all the way out of the water, arrange a bunch of models on seats, then have them all slowly lowered into the pool, and perhaps out and in again a few times, with cameras placed to get close-ups of laps being flooded, seats going into the water, etc. I suspect it'd cost a bit though!

there are two ways that could be done, the raising floor or a pump / sluice gate to drain and refill the pool using a second pool to hold the water while the main drains
the raising floor would be easier to do
it could be done manually by ropes or a cog
the manual way might suit your medieval settings
maybe a cheap winch motor from machine mart would be a great hoist or provide the pulling power
maybe an air bag lift
