[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1542982, member: 4319"] The most ridiculous part of the story to me is nobody could find some kind of boat/raft in an hour to help this guy. Raid the fricken' sporting goods store or something. You'd think a beach would be prepared with something like that. If they had some kind of boat they would have had a good chance. But going hands on with a suicidal man in 6 feet of water is nuts, and I can't blame anyone for not doing that. It's pretty common for drowning victims that WANT to live to nearly drown their trained rescuers without even trying. Throw in someone trying to die, and that's not taking a risk to save a life...that's a double suicide. [/QUOTE]
