Well done the recovery and the video. When my shorts caught on the rope hook of our boat I flipped and landed on my head brusing my spinal cord as I rolled over backwards and fractured C-2&3. Face down, motionless, I finally had to inhale all of Lake Huron I could. My face sank thru the water towards the sand and I prayed family and friends would find me before it was too late. And then, i blacked out.
@dhalliday Yes, I feel lucky everyday. The last thing i heard was Tom's voice saying Rick that's enough, stop fooling aroung. I felt a little current around my face, must have been Mary's hand, and then everything went black. When i came to they had given me two quick breathes and i started breathing air and water. I heard Lynn ask them to roll me on my side so I could clear my airway. A bystander said be careful he my have a spinal injury. Tom was haling the ambulance. Emerg suspected a stroke.
