A male whose name was not released to the media fell into the water on Thursday afternoon in Lake Worth Beach Florida when the boat he was aboard that was traveling at high speed. A stranger used his jet ski to pick up the male who fell into the water, take him to the ramp and he called 911 for help. Firefighters from the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR) came to the ramp where the victim was taken by ambulance to a local hospital to be treated for injuries in the incident. The stranger called the authorities after seeing the boat was upside down in the Intracoastal. A Personal Rescue Watercraft (PRWC) stationed in Lantana searched the boat and found out no one was aboard other the accident victim. The authorities are investigating the cause of the accident. In my view it could be that the boat was speeding on the water. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/us/...

Sorry to say, but the man in the boat was pretty dumb. He was looking for trouble.

I wonder if they recovered his boat for him too. Speeding recklessly like that, they might have thought about impounding it.

Speeding on land or water is so dangerous. Thankful that guy on the jet ski saw what happened and was able to help the victim.

Sea rescues can be very tricky. It's lucky the jet ski was nearby.
