Prosiłbym o pomoc w przetłumaczeniu tego określenia.

Kampania "Młodość nie zwalnia z myślenia"
Policja w Gdańsku opublikowała spot, który ma być przestrogą dla nierozważnych zachowań nad wodą. Na nagraniu funkcjonariusz przedstawia 20-letniego Pawła, który przyjechał nad morze z dziewczyną i znajomymi. Po kilku drinkach i piwach wskoczył do wody. Na filmie widać, jak po chwili tonie. - Paweł potrafi znikać, no i znika. Nie bądź jak Paweł, nie znikaj - mówi lektor.

"Młodość nie zwalnia z myślenia" to kampania Komendy Wojewódzkiej Policji w Gdańsku, w trakcie której funkcjonariusze planują wypuścić serię filmów. Wszystko po to, aby przed sezonem wakacyjnym przypomnieć o podstawowych zasadach bezpieczeństwa. Historia 20-letniego Pawła pokazuje, że picie alkoholu przed wejściem do wody może mieć tragiczne skutki.
