[@dananicole9713]

First I wanna say, I literally cried when watching the episode of Below Deck of Ashton falling into the ocean. I cried again when Ryhlee explained what happened and when captain Lee showed the whole crew what happened on camera. I'm happy Ashton is alive and well. Its crazy what happened but intense. Regardless if it was a silly mistake Ashton shouldn't beat himself up over it. It's incredible that the crew helped out. And Brent saved his life, sorry but throwing that camera down to pull the rope off Ashton ankle is more important than catching all this on footage. Thank god they're all alright. His life is important and I can tell this accident still hurts Ross. And I'm happy Ross is a caring person who developed a good friend ship with Ashton.

[@i4gotall]

This shed light on Rhylee who is always reminding everyone that she is a boat captain.....why didnt she react? Thankfuly Brent was there and was fast on his feet but Rhylee was closest to the lines and she just stood there and didn't immediately think to release the line to save Ashton. I'm in no way blaming Rhylee for what happened but I think going forward in the season, she needs to stop reminding us that she's a boat captain.

[@annalejandro1]

Chistie D I That Rhylee, the boat captain in Alaska, what was her reaction? To quietly say Man Overboard and STAND there as the rope snaring you got tighter and tighter. Someone should have immediately gotten in the jet ski and pulled you up to rush to create slack in that tender rope. A dive knife would have been a great thing to grab and as a matter of fact I think all the deck hands should wear one on a belt, because even on land you never know what. At sea the dangers are ten times greater. God bless you and you’d better thank Him every day.

[@aanon5716]

i think in human nature most people freeze when confronted with an unexpected & scary situation. it takes an exceptional person who reacts instantly & properly. that makes them heroes. yes, i agree rhylee was useless.

[@kalinnavyacheslavovna2760]

a fishing boat isn't even remotely the same thing as a yacht. She attempted to grab both him and the rope. Panic definitely kicked in for her but she was smart enough to know that either she would have been pulled into the water as well or seriously disabled her hands if she tried to stop the rope the way she initially did. No one else would have survived what happened like ashton did. The only reason he didn't die is not only because of the camera man but also the fact that he was such a strong swimmer with even stronger breath control

That was so scary !!! Camera Man Brett is a Hero …Thank God Ashton was alright but it could of been a devastating ending. I think this happening will definitely change and review how things are done on Captains ship…

[@donnapiraino3323]

I literally cried watching this episode and watching Captain Lee go into Father Mode...Once Ashton got into his cabin and started to say how stupid he was for stepping on the lines, Captain Lee changed it to let's talk about how lucky you were instead and that is such a Dad thing...Captain was also present while the Dr. Examines Ashtons injury. This experience brought the concerned parent side out of Captain Lee to the surface... As for Rhylee I saw so many bashing her that she didn't react...There are some people have the ability to react clearly in emergencies....The 🎥 camera man...I feel like initially Rhylee tries to stop Ashton from going into the water and that gets her adrenaline rushing..that inhibits her ability to think clearly as to what she needs to do next to save him..She is aware that she needs to call three man overboards but doesn't, she is more than likely not even aware that she is holding a life ring..Adrenaline has taken over clear thinking...However Camera man can think calmly for a solution to the problem in the emergency and act swiftly and quickly and save a life...Rhylee might be a boat captain but many many people react the same way in emergency situations...that's just body chemistry it's more common then not...The camera 🎥 mans Reaction is more unique.... On another note it's very endearing how each cast member came to check on Ashton..as much as we witness a certain amount of drama for the TV show I do feel like they do become like a boat family to a certain degree.. I think it was so ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE that Adrian when he went to check on him was the first one he asked him if he needed to be alone or neede to talk SO NICE VERY TOUCHING...Then told him how he would make him comfort food...lots of chocolate 🍫....so sweet..💙❤️..Thanking God That Ashton is Ok.

[@were-all-human9427]

season in re-run this week in UK, your take is spot on. Ryhlee deffo froze, tho I am biase as her attitude stank her entire season. As the Cpt says She may be a Cpt on a dirty tug boat, but she aint a Cpt here..... he should have fired her. Lee lets things slide when its the gals, and throws the boys under the bus, from way back with Kelley in S2 and throughout the entire seasons. Kate could never do anything wrong. Today Lee and most crew have moved on. wonder what s10 will bring us next year. BD Down Under and Sailing franchises are ok too. Med, not so much.

Carolyn, I so agree with you. This season has been by far the most engaging, entertaining season of all thus far. I plan on saving this season on my DVR

[@annalejandro1]

Captain Lee was so shook up that he didn’t want to come down and upset you further by crying. He immediately called a doctor for you and he NEVER died that. He was pulling himself together thinking, “I have children. What if I had to make the phone call to this great kid’s parents and tell them their son has died on my watch?” He had to leave the camera. Believe me, Captain Lee considers your horrible accident as the very worst moment of not just his yachting career but of his whole life. He cared deeply. And at this stage with crew and stews all sort of “Oh My God” not really thinking of their jobs but of you, someone had to stay at the helm of that boat. Someone had to be the steady. Believe me, he was crying in concern over you. His gratitude for your narrow escape from disaster was overwhelming and he knew it was just the luck of having one savvy cameraman nearby to loosen the rope and save your foot and most likely, your life. He knows that in seamanship, so LITTLE involves luck. Luck is a rare thing at sea. Ok maybe the weather gets lucky but saving lives? That’s someone thinking and acting FAST. He felt “The buck stops with me” and that ultimately what happened to you was his fault. He felt like a man given a reprieve he did not earn.

[@cztober3085]

What's so sad is that after this incident Captain Lee had a son die.

[@DougAlesUSA]

After the cleat hitch, notice the instructor coiled the excess line? We often say only sailers coil, boaters braid. Why? Because if you coil, you will get into the habit of coiling lines. Sooner or later an incident will occur where a boat is leaving as someone steps on the coil. The coil will wrap around the persons leg then pull them into the water with the line still wrapped around their leg. This exact situation occurred during a taping of a television show called Below Deck to a deckhand named Ashton Pienaar, and it nearly cost him his life. If you are a power boater, learn how to braid your excess line. Do not coil excess line as shown in this video.

These people claim that this is a dangerous job behind the scenes blah blah blah. So Captain why don’t you have a 10 min safety meeting every morning reminding the crew of the emergency protocols? The weakest link falls on the shoulders of the captain. It’s his responsibility to know how well informed and trained his staff are regardless of previous experience. All this could’ve been prevented if there was better communication between the captain and his crew. Even the interior should know what to do. Even after all that happened they were still making mistakes. That’s a huge problem. I dislike Riley because of her big foul mouth but she did say man overboard. Regardless if she whispered it I think the captain should’ve reacted or confirm. Instead he asked what happened so he had heard her...

The previous comment was right. He did not assess the crew correctly prior to departure. NO PREPAREDNESS FOR AN EMERGENCY! No one was ready for this. The guests acted more appropriately. “Scared” and “very concerned. “ After all, remember chandler couldn’t even put a bandaid on the guest he dropped? The worst was the next day same accident ...Take the boat out of commission and train the staff already. It’s not safe on that boat. Capt lee knows it’s his fault. That’s why he can’t keep it together. All the crew is so selfish and concerned about their flirting. They are not focused at all. Capt lee should be evaluated for crew preparedness or lack thereof. Someone needs to be fired. My cards are on the captain and rhylee. Rhylee for creating a hostile workplace which is unsafe. RIGHT? Who is responsible for an unsafe workplace? Captain lee.

Isn't it very like bravo to put people in ridiculous situations and then let the.take care of their own hides and deal with the fallout?

ONE WORD SUMS THIS UP FOR ME .... " INTENSE " LISA 🌼 MYRTLE BEACH SC 🌴🇺🇸

[@brianchristopher5588]

I want to see an interview with the camera guy Brett/Brent, whatever his name is...

[@yaimavol]

How many of us haven't had a brush with death on a highway, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, doing something stupid that puts us in a position we never imagined? When you walk out of your house, there is no guarantee you will return. We live in a fragile world.

[@erinc.1610]

Why aren't all deckhands supplied knives on belts to make sure they can cut a rope quickly if a situation like this happens???? I am so glad you are ok, Ashton. Maybe now knives will be standard for every boat.

[@macdaddyin]

So did the camera guy cut the line or completely let the line out from the other boat? I’m not exactly sure that anyone explained this.

[@gayleholmes9081]

Everyone should understand, the ship had not completely gone into full throttle, and had Rilee been more aggressive in reporting man overboard, the Captain could have stopped moving moments earlier or not at all.

[@lizdobson9793]

I haven't watched the episode yet, but can someone explain why Captain Lee didn't immediately stop the boat?

[@dbax3500]

Elizabeth Dobson he said in his post- accident meeting that in the future any man overboard needs to be said loudly and clearly and at least 3 times- he said he barely heard it and that’s why it took him a second to process what rhylee said and stop the engines.

[@loonylauren4997]

Kate saying she loves Ashton 😂😂😂😂

[@denisemarie7991]

I agree... why didnt Rhylee react? How did she not know proper protocol but a cameraman did?

[@chantallirwin3000]

Because everyone reacts different in a situation like this. It's called flight or fight and you can't choose if you fight or flight. It's a natural reaction

[@melaniamathaba2254]

Thank God, the worst didn't happen. The entire crew training on how to handle situation like that if a person fall over board

[@cocogomez2278]

Everyone is kind of ripping on Riley doing nothing, but can you imagine if Chandler and Caroline were on? Yeesh. Ashton survived for many reasons, Brent, Divine intervention, and because he keeps his body #1 priority strong and fit. Feel like we need to have a celebration of life party for him. He can all teach us a lesson of enjoying life because he knows how.

[@BaileeGermanotta]

Desperately trying to find out exactly what Brent’s actions were and what the possibilities were that didn’t happen. Rope tension relieved by Brent being able to undo the tow?

[@clintoncross3691]

When does the season start

[@jshearouse]

Mirical the cameraman knew what to do!

[@disastermysterycrime2395]

Rhylee should have radioed loud and clear and been straight in after him. Well done to the Brent, the kind of person you

[@GreeryGabor]

i just realized caroline’s swollen foot foreshadowed this

[@alansohn855]

I think Ashton had a wake up call after this incident because I didn't really see that player type Ashton afterwards. I could be wrong on that, but he definitely did get wiser.

[@Dachdogoriginal]

SCARY!!!

[@ivonneparedes5194]

Porque no puedo ver todos los capitulos español las entrevista

[@kimnaylor1429]

Rhylee was useless 😮 Always saying how GREAT she is shows that SHE'S NOT !! I would have SCREAMED 😱 MAN OVER BOARD several times the way Rhylee tried to grab him was awful 😠 😡 👿 😤 Thank you BRETT for saving Ashtons life 😢 Still finding this after all this time very upsetting 😢and Captain Lee ❤after just losing his son 💔 HEARTBREAKING 😢 GLAD YOUR SAFE ASHTON 😊❤😊❤😊 THANKS AGAIN BRETT ❤❤ CAPTAIN LEE ❤❤ love you captain 👏 👏 👏 👏 RHYLEE........stick to making the TEA 🍵 😊

[@haptkkf33d]

Love Ross love Ashton love the whole damn crew. Minus Caroline and the new girl, that is.

[@AlwaysSerenity]

What rule are they talking about the camera man breaking ?

[@alexandrastulz6588]

Stacy Pardini, you’re not supposed to ever stop filming regardless of what is happening (disgusting rule)

I think they should interview the camera man who saved him

[@christinaserrano7681]

Thank his Ashton is safe. Ashton and Ross make an amazing team and Kate and Josiah as well Now the new pug Laura needs to go and Tyler is ehh boring Chef Adrian is annoying with that damn hair I want chef Ben back !!!

[@dbax3500]

christina serrano agreed except I do like Adrian- but no one tops BEN!!

[@melancholycat3978]

Ashton and Ross are a great team, as are Kate and Josiah! Rhylee should have been fired a long time ago- she has no respect for authority. I like Chef Adrian- Ben was too moody!

[@shellytarbet3677]

He is also a little tittle tattle Chef that is

[@JohnRonson88]

Can someone tell me why he nearly died? The rope was attached to another boat being pulled behind the yacht, is that right? If so he would be dragged along in the water which I guess might make him drown but would hope someone could release the rope before he did. I know being caught in fishing lines is deadly but that’s because there attached to something that’s going to sink to the bottom
