FAMILY IN PANIC MODE AT HAULOVER INLET (DRAMATIC RESCUE) BOAT ZONE

[@BoatZone]

After watching the rescue operations at the inlet shown in this video, where people's lives are at risk every weekend, why do you think this continues to happen so frequently?

[@brothersicko497]

Kudos to the rescuers and the parents of the youngin' need the 💩👊🤛 out of em

[@crowbone8136]

The rescue team was outstanding at saving three dimwits without lifejackets. Darwin thought he had a triple play.

[@tektkite7255]

People with water temperature IQ going into the water naturally leads to issues

[@dabitup1981]

Do you ever see Grady White boats pass through?

[@tlfu6836]

Maybe because they know Boat Zone is going to give them their 15 minutes or fame?

[@jackspade2576]

Used to be a lifeguard. Number 1 rule is to stay calm. They did that, knew backup was on its way, focused on protecting the swimmers from the boaters, and allowed the current to push them in. A+ rescue!

[@iboyd2824]

It always makes me smile when your caption states 'what's your opinion?' Usually when some form of gross negligence has just occurred... It's very reserved and diplomatic of you, particularly when some of the negligence that we see could be the difference between life or death..! I hope that some of these 'captains' watch your channel, and learn from their mistakes.

[@skip686]

Little girl never should have been up there even if she had a lifejacket on. I feel like the no wake zone needs to start way earlier coming into the channel and enforced to the max. Great videos and drone shots!

[@gilbertdelgado6703]

You are exactly right, I was thinking that myself.

[@johnk5461]

OMG! Frightens me just thinking about what could have happened. Looked like mom and dad were in the back oblivious.

[@jeffsim8664]

That little girl by the bow railing with no lifejacket. Wow. One freak wave and she could have under the railing and gone under and into the prop. Life jacket would make no differance. Great parenting.

[@NancySlider]

That disgusts me - one of the worst things I’ve seen in these videos

The captain/parents should be arrested for child endangerment for allowing that little girl to stand out on the bow by herself without a life jacket on while going through the inlet... What are people thinking these days? Total idiots!

At least a warning is in order in this situation. Completely reckless!

Yes that was insane. Incredibly irresponsible. The captain should have been charged.

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

Was the girl taught “one hand for you, one hand for the boat”, the rule to always keep hold? We don’t know but she seemed in control of her situation. Good behaviours first, a harness next so you don’t leave the boat and life jacket as last resort. BTW 55yrs yacht sailing so I know about life on an angled bouncing deck.

[@jmclivaudais3291]

Been watching Haulover videos for a few years now. The videos keep getting better. Boats keep getting bigger. People keep getting dumber.

[@MartynCharsley]

Me too. Never been there. Probably never will, but in all honesty some of the people we see in these clips wouldn't be doing what they do if they watched as many as we have. Who in their right mind would take a paddle board into that?

[@jimmiller5600]

A'murika !

[@marekdg]

Well… the title said “DRAMATIC RESCUE” so now that the video ended I’m wondering if that dramatic rescue supposed to be the swimmers that got assisted by the lifeguards (both parties looked pretty in control) or the children on that “banana” thing? Because that guy just hauled those children over as if they were those big 10kg potato bags 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@uscg75]

Little girl on the bow, little brain at the helm. This is definitely against the law, and will be a hefty fine if he’s boarded by any Maritime Law Enforcement. The number of vessels I see on your channel with this type of ignorance while operating a vessel is astounding. Great video both on land and in the air. Keep up the good work

[@wormhole331]

That's just what it is. Ignorance. They just don't know how dangerous it is and I'm sure most people starting out in boating wouldn't assume it is until something bad happens or get ticketed.

[@gilbertdelgado6703]

No license to operate a pleasure craft is required. Money is all it takes to become the skipper of your own boat.

[@duanesamuelson2256]

Regardless of common sense, the law is anyone 6 or under on a vessel, 26' or less, must wear a pfd. There must be a pfd for each person on board any vessel, and a throwable pfd for vessels 16' and longer. The PWC' require pfd for piolet and any riders. Your talking about how much trouble they would be in or how much the fines are just shows you don't know the law.

[@acreguy3156]

@@duanesamuelson2256 No amount of laws or fines will bring that little girl back after she gets chewed up by the props and spit out the stern. Idiot parents probably on the bridge sucking back a couple of brews.

[@MrPlayerPerson]

Those boards are not kayaks, they are paddle boards. The little girl on the bow of the boat was having a "Leonardo deCaprio Titanic Moment"!

[@georgee5331]

it's not just that pulling a tube through there is stupid and risky. The combined headcount on tube and PWC can't exceed what the PWC is rated for. That's a 3-person Sea-Doo and 6 people. They're paying tuition now for what any free boater education course would have taught them.

[@KRRZ350]

[@NancySlider]

Those were children… incomprehensible

[@tundraghinidude0894]

If that’s a Kayak I’m a monkeys uncle 😂

[@rattlersix]

I wondered about that too but I looked closely as they were getting out on the rocks and all three boards say "RESCUE" on them in big letters on the bottom and smaller red letters on the top. So I guess the kayaks are elsewhere

[@Cupcardriver]

On the west coast of Florida they’re called paddle boards 😂😂

[@CarieSaad]

Ikr. Where's their kayaks?

[@orwellknew9112]

Very thin Kayaks.

[@wormhole331]

Those are the rescuers boards. They probably got seperated from their kayaks and that's why they needed help.

[@good2golden803]

The custom hull rocked it and another beautiful Boston whaler display

[@Westlake]

So many things wrong there, but speed in the inlet for starters, drop it to 10 or 15 mph max (that will save some lives). Kids not wearing PFD's (and properly fitted ones). It is not a place for paddle-boarders or kayaks or tubing, etc. as there seems to be NO speed limit in the inlet. Wouldn't feel safe in a barge there. What is the body count so far for haul-over for this year?

[@Bird1964]

Completely agree with you. I'm all about having a great time but don't involve kids and put them at risk. And I'm really surprised that there are not a slew of accidents in the inlet considering the speed and the waves.

[@manifestgtr]

Wow…that was the most dramatic rescue I’ve seen since they yanked that frostbitten dude off Mount Everest

The child appears to be under 6 years of age, the parents should be charged with child endangerment. Also if the child was over 6 she shouldn't be on the bow under those conditions. SMH Law enforcement needs to crack down on these violations.

[@seawench555]

I believe there should be lifeguards based on the actual inlet rock wall, theres been way too many kayakers, jet ski riders and boat passangers get into difficulty at this inlet.

[@jeffsim8664]

[@JAMaxeRestoration]

[@PTRRanger951]

For the PWC towing the kids. Law is you can only tow for how ever many people the ski holds. If it has two seats, you can’t tow anything. If you have 3 seats you can only tow one person. You must have an observer, the operator, and a way to retrieve the person being towed. So you must keep a seat free for the person being towed. You can not have both seats full on a ski and still tow two or three people. Doesn’t work that way. So I hope they got citations for endangering the kids.

[@acreguy3156]

It's nice to see a successful rescue. Well done, all! Why does it take a potential disaster for people to stop being narcissists and just pitch in? I know it's the rescuers job but in the 60s and 70s, a few boaters would have fished those people out long before the rescue teams could arrive.

[@gregdeguerre8804]

I’m commenting on the seadoo towing the ski tube. Where I’m from it’s the LAW that the tow vessel have a SPOTTER and a seat for the “water skier” to board the vessel if they become tired. That seadoo was full at 2 adults and a child, plus 3 children on the ski tube. It would be a fine to the captain for what they were doing. And yes, that inlet looks WAY too fuckin busy to be screwing around tubing. Go to a lake somewhere.

[@vicb.2708]

Some people should not bear children...or own boats...or both.

[@mikerosenberger3809]

12:30 Hell no, am I the only one that realizes NONE of those kids had on the appropriate PFD. What would Grandpa do if something happened to that towable and dumped all kids in the water? Certainly the most WTF moment I have seen lately. BTW the boat crossing through the frame also had a youth NOT wearing a PFD...................WTH is wrong with the adults in the room???????????????

[@trav.12]

thanks for the 1:06 slo-mo.

[@gstream8441]

If you let your kids ride or sit in a place on the boat where they can possibly go overboard, it’s safe to say that you have never rescued a family from drowning. Because that’s what happens when your child goes overboard and you go overboard to save the kid and then your wife goes overboard and eventually everyone drowns. Bloop bloop!

[@carolethorn3211]

Bloop bloop.Oy.

[@PTRRanger951]

Rescue of the kayakers was awesome. It was safer and easier to take them out sooner instead of trying to keep pushing inland more as the more boats come in the more of a hazard they are. But by law kayakers and people in canoes are required to wear PFDs. So I hope they at least got some citations for wasting all their time.

[@RandJPhoto]

Thank the lifeguards does a great job in the rescue. I don’t understand why they don’t have some type of ladder or floating platform around that side rather than bring victims up over those rocks. As for the couple on the JetSki pulling the kids on the inflatable, that’s just too many kids for two people to be responsible for especially in the inlet where there’s so much traffic.

[@sassygirl7817]

The little girl on the bow has already learned at a young age how to show off for the camera

[@GhostDrummer]

Pulling a tube with a jet ski through Haulover, a newborn sitting on mama’s lap (who wasn’t wearing a life jacket herself), and the three kids in the tube not having life jackets that looked to fit them…sometimes I just gotta wonder in amazement at the logic of some parents.

We only have one lake big enough to accommodate these type of boats and there are very few of them. The money spent amazes me. As for the little girl, it should be illegal for any minor to not wear a life jacket in these waters. I’ve seen people go overboard that were probably great swimmers but they look look like they are in serious trouble in these waters. I can’t imagine a child thrown overboard not drowning.

I’ve always thought irrespective of the country the incident happens, if you go out ill prepared without the basics and require assistance from others who are risking their own lives you pay up!
