Tragic Story

[Sandbar]

Did anyone else see this? A guy drowns trying to "save" two people who he thought were drowning, but were actually just loaded. Remember the rescue diver rule: personal safety first.

I am just speechless.

What a waste, on so many counts.

Nothing witty to say on this one.

Heartbreaking.

I read it and wondered what he was planning on doing when he got out to the victims. He should have brought something that floats, cooler, boogie board etc. Very few people are capable of saving a drowning victim in the ocean without some type of flotation.

that is sad. i wonder how the 2 people he tried to rescue feel about it.

If I end up dying in some event I hope everyone picks it over to the naked truth and points out every stupid thing I did so that others may learn from it and never die the same way.... this being said I have to quote Clint Eastwood here...

"A man's got to know his limitations."

Never jump in over your head, so to speak.
