Which of these tragedies is most shocking to you?

Just came off a bad call for SARs. So I'm Bondi binging. The heaviest bodies are always the smallest.

[@CanMoose]

Yes..so very sad

[@KrystinaUhlyk]

Another Tragic waste of life 😭😭😡 RIP to all lost Thank you life guards and everybody involved in the search/s for risking your own lives to save others ❤

[@RealLifeRescue]

It is always tragic when a life cannot be saved. We are so lucky to have incredible lifeguards out there doing their very best to keep us all safe.

Much respect for life guards.

All cases are very sad when there is loss of life.

WHY did those people even go in the water in the first place ????😖😖😖😖😖😖

[@mistyrobinson4802]

Exactly!!

[@erinnfitzgerald6257]

Really?? So we're not meant to go in the water because sometimes people drown? Why be fearful of something that may never happen? Life's too short, I'll never allow unrational nor rational fear control me. I live on the coast & have swum my whole life, I'm 64.5 & I won't stop just in case something happens

[@nomygame5732]

Because not all oceans are created equal. Some people grow up in places with barely any currents, then they go to Australia and realise its not the same as the Mediterranean sea.

My prayers go out to the family and I can’t express my gratitude to all life guards and future life guards it’s such a dangerous situation to be in the ocean and to help save someone who is drowning , my you all stay safe and thank you for all you do every single day

[@lizturner267]

Sauce compassion and care from the lifeguards in very hard situations. Amazing team even on the water's worst day.

[@allisonanderson5224]

As teens we went to Piha once. Never again. Very dangerous beach. Have a walk along the shoreline by all means. Lay in the water to cool down by the shoreline. But don't go further 😢😢😢 just too dangerous imo. Kariotahi is a bit better but seriously just let your kids paddle ankle deep and stay with them. Don't go any further 😢

[@Francedefence]

Don't understand why people who don't know how to surf go in the waves!!!!!!!!!!! If they don't care about there lives, it's fine, but they put other people at risk when they try to rescue them!

[@Goofygoose494]

Great work camera man on irb... Its hard was in surf life-saving NZ... The current can turn so fast

[@birgitschenk6569]

I am going to New Zealand in November, I won`t go in water like that. Did the boys Dad get rescued?

[@oldguy8177able]

i got caught in a rip never been back to the beach scared me ****

[@Momo-kv8zo]

What annoys me with these programmes is you clearly need all space in the boat and a space is used by a camera man, that's sick to me when you have so many drowning around you, especially when its said theres only room for one more...

[@andrearac6088]

People are so irresponsible

[@yvonnelessick9880]

Near drowning.

[@Echo_The_Therian101]

[@esthergreenwood4019]

There must be 4 flags, giving you an idea where you can swim. If you have 2 flags, and you are in the water, your area is ,even if you are looking at the flags on the shore, that you are stil in the safe zone. If you put up 4 flags, behind one another, you wil have a better idea where you are in the water.

Why anyone would film this is beyond me. I can't believe I watched this as long as I did ... Shame on anyone using this for monetary value .

[@Chookiethechookie]

But you watched it

[@darrenwerner1829]

The biggest tragedy is the fact that these so-called lifeguards didn't do their job and close the beach at the first sign of a rip current. They get an f. It was mostly an avoidable drowning.

[@Goofygoose494]

These beaches can change in a minute no warning... Go swim there B4 judge

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

They always have rip currents, it just depends where…

[@Francedefence]

Some people know very well how to swim in these waters! There is actually such a sport calles "body surfing"! You just have to know your limits!

[@hesterpluck178]

@@darrenwerner1829 agreed!!!!!!!!

[@mistyrobinson4802]

The biggest tragedy is that those people shouldn't go into the water if they can't swim! They also should have worn life jackets!! The lifeguards can't save everyone!
