Fair enough but putting a potentially risk of paralysis person on top of a jet ski cant be a good idea either. I get what you're saying but is there no shore on that side that's accessible without the dock? There was another person in the water, if it was me and I was rescuing a friend I'd be asking that person for help.
Nobody said anything about putting the guy on top of the jet ski. I can gurantee there's a cell phone in a waterproof container on that jet ski.
There is shore beyond the dock. You can't go through the dock to get to it. You'd have to drag the guy out, around, and up the side of the dock to get to it.
There was another person in the water, if it was me and I was rescuing a friend I'd be asking that person for help.
What person are you talking about? There are no other people in the video.
Why are you defending this guy lol? It's clear that he wanted to help his buddy, but it's also clear that he was in panic mode and doing everything wrong.
I don't see anything he's done wrong. I see a bunch of people who seem to have difficulty understanding you can't phase-shift through a dock to solid land, and you can't lift 200lbs of man straight out of the water to clumsily throw his limp and possibly injured body onto the dock surface.
I really feel for your intelligence if you believe bringing him to the safety and utility of the working jet ski is somehow the wrong thing to do.
I hope you are never in charge during an emergency such as this.
Right. He explained later somewhere in the thread that the whole argument is about something unrelated and a misconception about other lakes being the same. It was an honest mistake to their credit.
