Well done to the lifeguard team and everyone else involved. This just shows the importance of of putting a vital service to the public before costs bean, counting, and profits. No one can put a price on a life. Wish him a full recovery.

Great outcome, lucky man indeed.

Most people who slip or get washed off hit their head on the rocks and some die before they enter the sea. he was a very lucky guy. STAY OF THE BLACK ROCKS !

Screw bottle caps to the soles of your shoes when rock fishing

It wont stop the wave from hitting but will give some traction on the slippery rocks
