Vixen Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I would fight like hell to survive and also I know me, and wouldn't hesitate to help anyone else who was being swept away. But then I would get the stupid idiot filming it and throw him in the sea the Pratt how can you just stand there and film it and not help ffs. What is the world coming to ?

daz2905 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 FFS the guy just gave up after a second and just seemed quite happy to be washed out to sea.I'd try and save them but if i was like that guy and trying to help and they were lying on the beach and making so little effort then i'd have given up and saved myself.

Rigout Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's crazy that they would even be there but it's a difficult position to be in if it was a member of your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktv303 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 The lack of even trying to avoid it was what got me. Darwin awards candidate waiting to happen sent from my phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 looked like he just gave up the second he was on his back . hats off to the guy who tried to help ,what happened did they get out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh4ckles Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Allegedly the man filming was disabled but there was a 4th person who saved the other three washed out on the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 F that, why didn't the second man try to help? Then when the wave went in try to get them back? As Fon said, the water is powerful.

StonerUK Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Was reading not so long ago that the correct thing to do when sucked out by a rip tide or the like is to let it carry you and when you've stopped going out then swim back in. Saves energy rather than trying in vein to swim against it. Now obviously if you standing on a beach you would at least try for a bit to stop yourself getting carried out instead of floating like a turd lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktv303 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 afaik if your caught in a rip tide you should swim parallel to the shore to get out of the flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonerUK Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/9912-how-to-avoid-and-survive-rip-currents Seems both are viable options, although would deffo try saving myself first before floating. It's human instinct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
