[QUOTE="Kiyot, post: 1862638, member: 627"] It is a little muddled, but clear enough that the kid was not on duty as a lifeguard at the beach. But say that wasn't the case and he was a lifeguard on duty there, I have to totally disagree, he does deserve a full ride. Yes he's doing his job, and yes there are risks but to say he's responsible for his being checked out is kind of ridiculous. That's the same thing as saying that if an officer gets shot on duty, that he's on his own to pay for his surgery, rehab and the like. Fireman gets burned up and he's gotta take pay the bills while he's off for months if not longer to recoup? Any job like that has to have workers comp of some sort, and most riskier jobs like these will have extra benefits where they take care of their own to an even further extent. Otherwise we would have even more problems getting people to take these types of jobs. Just as you say you are in the military, you would expect to be taken care of if you were injured in an IED or maybe a freak dishwasher accident while you were serving your country...a lifeguard trying to save a life deserves just as much.
