| RESCUE CLIPS |
|
|
|
| (SEPTEMBER 2, 2010) Bruce Butterworth is seen here rescuing a girl who failed to adhere to repeated instructions to stay away from a rip current. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (SEPTEMBER 1) The rip current in this video was wide, pulled outward and subsequently hooked left at an approximate 70 degree angle, and on then split into two additional opposite outward flowing currents. This is difficult to see from the video; nevertheless, viewers will see the force of the current as the victim is brought to shore. Due to the varying angles and width of the this rip the initial rescuing lifeguard chose to swim through the outer end of it to position himself appropriately to contend with the inner outward flowing current and to subsequently break free from it and bring the victim to safety. |
