😮🥺😥😪 condolences to the family.
True hero.
Absolutely
Such a hero that guy was 🙁
Did this guy know how to swim? What is the correct way to rescue a drowning person without drowning oneself?
From a life guard: Go back to Bronze Cross and Bronze Medallion. Reach for the victim. Reaching pole, rope, throw a flotation device. If you don’t have to go in the water for a rescue, DON’T. The middle of a lake is still very cold and you won’t last more then a couple of minutes! Make sure your boat has all of the safety equipment It should have by law and take extra just in case. And everyone in boats should be wearing a life jacket. I Know you want to get a tan, and you don’t think it looks cool, but while the boat is moving please use it like seat belt and keep it on. Spend the money and find one you really like!!!! You know what’s even less cool…being dead!
thats pretty insensitive ngl
Where you’re from nobody would help so you probably don’t need to know the answer.
@Blunderbuss The chances a witness would help out would be greatly increased when the witness is informed/educated on how to help effectively without throwing their own life in harm’s way.
That’s sad, a Hero.
😢😢😢😢😢 Superhero! That’s very unfortunate! Condolences to his family.
Tragic. No need to jump in anyway. If you do a rescue use the mandatory life jacket and rope ALL boats are required to have by law
No need to jump in? He literally saved the kid tho
I appreciate the bravery and my heart goes out to the departed and all afflicted 🙏💚
where were the parents?
Swimming is a valuable life skill.
Very brave.
So sad. He died a hero. Condolences to the family and friends.
He died saving another.
Hero. Condolences to his family.
