is it just me, or are all these episodes from the midwest or othere small white towns? And always 10- 15 min away from the nearest help? I can get to our hospital in 30 seconds...

A lot of them are like that, but are also quite few 'middle of nowhere' segments as well. A few examples:

Episode 111-"Double Electrocution"

Episode 126-Lost at sea

Episode 209-"911 Alligator Alley"

Episode 315-Everglades Rescue

Episode 407-"Idaho Trooper Down"

Episode 422-"911 Accidental Gunshot"

Episode 602-"New Zealand Shark Attack"

Episode 622-Jeep in pond

Also, the three states with the most Rescue 911 segments were California, Texas, and Florida.

[gregersen80015]

to en10, it's an inflatable pool. there's no such thing as a deep end which is why all this inflating pools have "no diving" disclaimers

I'd really like it if you, allgood, or BeatleMoe could upload the next segment '911 Gotta Get To School'. That's the one where a little girl calls 911 when her father loses consciousness from diabetes. She says "My daddy's asleep and he won't wake up."

[silentkilr]

thats a TEENAGER?? wth?

[anoletrouble]

he didnt dive! he CANNON BALLED. THATS WHY ITS CALLED CANNONBALL KID

[ZMommaL56]

Wow allgood I didn't know you could do that.

[lilmisse1234]

People panic. She's not a lifegurad she a band member, cut the bitch some slack!

[kubotaman85]

this really should be renamed "Diving Mistake"

[StMuttley]

wooooaaah bad idea grabbing him like, every head injury is treated as a spinal injury, i know these people arent life gaurds but grabbing someone like that could have could have done anything up to full body paralization. and she said that she knew what to do, if she did she wouldve got him out of the pool by using someone to secure his head and two others on the hips and waist while you see to the torso and use arms as spinal boards, i wont say the full procedure but, that was all wrong

[MomentOfReason]

Do you have the video of the segment they feature at the end of this? If so, do you think you can upload it?
