  • wow amazing he safe.

  • you sir are a true inspiration for me to want to help others. I am 28 years old and have always dreamed of being able to help people like you did here. You are a real hero.

  • lol their all fat!

  • I Was Stuck In A Rip Current Yesterday At Coronado Beach , Took Me About 15 Mins To Get Out Me And My friend Were Terrified, and Finally When We Did Get Out Thats When The Stupid Lifeguard Started Coming Anyway I Now Have To Big Rashes and Bruises On Both My Knees... Very Dangerouse Dont Really Know How In The Hell We Got Out :l

  • i just got home from OCMD today we had the flash rip currents all week and only witnessed one incident .

    The can literally open up right around you and you can almost instantly feel the power of the pull....just swim horizontal to the beach and once clear of the rip then swim ashore

  • That's exactly right.

  • They happen more often than you think. Typically they occur after a day when the ocean has been rough (especially after storms). They can be identified by a difference in color of water, current, white caps, sandy water. Ask the closest lifeguard as they can spot them in seconds.

  • im going to ocean city in a week lol how often do they happen?

  • Well this ain't LA County. It's Ocean City, MD, and they performed this rescue by the book. We don't have high speed rescue boats and pretty enclosed towers. One lifeguard in a stand every 200 meters with a buoy and excellent training. Whet did they do wrong in your West Coast opinion?

  • Strong work. Watching the time elapse in the video proves the importance of viligant, quick lifeguards. Entry at 12:38, contact at 12:39, two guards on the victim by 12:40, third guard assisting by 12:42, victim standing by 12:43. The shot of him coming over the falls with a buoy in each hand is awesome! Nothing like a mid-August day with rough surf at highrise row. You can see other rips opening up as the camera pans . The fact that you can see them so clearly from eye level is amazing.
