RNLI BLACKPOOL SAVES KID FROM DROWNING 👍🎥📸

[@Ryleywilson-t3v]

This is me in the video , I’m so thankful to everyone who was there to help the coastguards and to the people who called the coastguards. One minute I could touch the floor and the next I was being pulled back , I’m a generally good swimmer but I couldn’t swim back to shore, my only option was to swim with the same way as the currant but the only way to do that would be to go closer to the pier , my legs had gone dead due to being tired and cold. I was waving to the people on the pier to try and get their attention as I could see I was going out further and there was no flashing lights. I was out there for 25 minutes before I heard any sirens , my friend (in the video) tried to get 3 different people with their phones in their hands to call before anyone listened. I’m okay now , and home. I’m just very tired and shaken up from it all.

[@tink6212]

Happened to me once on Bondi beach. Didn't matter how hard a swam back to the shore, I got further and further away. A surfer came over to me and asked if I was alright, said i should pick a side, left or right and swim in that direction, and about 10 minutes later I was back on the beach. Lay down to recover where my towel was, looked up and there was a big bloody sign warning people of the currents right in front of me, doh! Glad you're OK.

[@Ruitraceur]

Glad everyone made it back to the shore - hope it doesn't prevent you from re-entering the water again ^.^

[@Ryleywilson-t3v]

@@Ruitraceur I love the sea so much I just got caught out , I wasn’t in too deep before the wave caught me but I love the sea , I just need a bit more awareness before I re-enter

@Ryley wilson I'm sure it's very unlikely to happen ^.^ can you pick some lottery numbers for me? Would share if it wins lol

[@robinelliott-ni2eh]

​​​​​@@Ryleywilson-t3v I'm an extremely good swimmer with well over 1000 hours however the sea and lakes are different. I am way too paranoid as I've seen the horror stories with cramp and tides. The best swimmer in the world could get into life and death trouble in the same circumstances. Stay safe, do not think you're invincible and do not start out with the expectation you will be saved if something were to go wrong.

Nice to see the old bill have their priorities right and take everyone's details, and don't get their feet wet. One of them going in the water was never an option whatever the circumstances!!

[@JunctionWatcher]

Why were they obsessed with asking if it was a male or female at the beginning? Modern cops are weird.

[@ReggiePhoto]

Very strange but the rnli just got on with the job regardless

[@JunctionWatcher]

Agreed. RNLI did great. Good job.

Well done the Blackpool rNLI crew and well roggir for capturing the event, maybe the RNLI could use the footage on there website.

[@m4rcmineh]

Also the fact that someones potentially drowning and the cops are still like " going to need to take your details " like wtf just radio the coastguard and make sure they are on the way 1st

[@gitmoholliday5764]

in case this happens, and you feel swimming directly to the beach doesn't work, swim parallel to the coastline or at an 45° angle, then try again.. the kid probably was in between 2 sandbanks and you can't fight against the flow going out.

[@markosmith8037]

[@daveurquhart477]

Some of the RNLI crew are salaried. My friend worked full time for them. however that didn't make him any less of a hero though.

[@markosmith8037]

I vaguely remember an article where the police stood back and didn't jump in to water to rescue someone because 'they are not allowed to'. I think a PCSO (or someone) did jump in and it wasn't a great look. It was in the news from memory.

To be honest, i think that doing a job like this, is probably one of the best jobs, that provides the best service to this country. My belief is, that it is this way because our Government is not involved. If the R.N.L.I. Ever becomes state funded, we will drown. So give often and don't spare the pennies.

@James Jameson not even slightly.

To stop such mistreatment happening again. Its government stockpiling them and putting them in hotels who are at fault. Then, changing the laws, I mentioned to render them illegal. Lifeboat crews are not at fault. The government is.

[@MC-emmcee]

It is a travesty that the RNLI (and Air Ambulance for that matter) have to rely on public donations. Any organisations that directly puts the safety and wellbeing of the UK public as their sole concern (like other "emergency services") should be funded from the public purse, especially when the lives are put at risk from saving others. It beggars belief that money from taxation is not channelled to such places. All Governments over the years are complicit in leaving these vital services off the payout list and I would prefer some of my taxes were earmarked for these organistaions rather than some other places I could mention (foreign aid for example).

The police used to try and rescue people themselves if they could, they would have a go . At least these cops could have gone into the shallow water. Now it’s about details and as Geoff mentioned, it’s about proper pronouns for their politically correct report. Idiot police, they should be reprimanded for inaction. There was a lot of police there for a gorp. At least they got the proper pronouns on record so no offence to any drowned persons/dolphins/unicorns , or whatever younger people identify as nowadays…

[@ramalama9650]

The Police are liars. On one occasion in my town (many years ago), a drunk ended up in the Mersey. My friend went in and rescued him. The police took all credit for getting him out. They only arrived AFTER he had been pulled out of the water and through the mud to safety. They'd have claimed this was their rescue if cameras hadn't been rolling. I wouldn't trust that lot as far as I could throw them.
