For anyone reading, in lifeguard training you have 10 seconds to spot someone in distress and 20 seconds to get them and administer help… that’s how quick you need to act. If your mates in the water and you think they’re messing about for longer than 10-20 seconds, go and check!
Yes, when I heard he was under for 8 minutes I was like WHAT?! What the heck were his friends doing all that time?
@@shelly49 I would've jumped in as soon as he didn't pop up like normal.
O MG THIS MAN KEEPS TALKING OVER HER !!!!!! HES LOVING THE SPOTLIGHT
How rude of stepdad not letting Mom talk they wanted to hear from mom
So sad what happened to this young man. What I found annoying is the step-dad kept interrupting the mother and cutting her off when she was talking. At one point she seemed rather annoyed.
Yeah step dad needs to let people finish their sentences before he talks above them!
He probably has undiagnosed ADHD himself I'm guessing as undiagnosed ADHD can cause people to interrupt without meaning to and it can be genetic.
@@ChronicAdvocate true I have undiagnosed adhd and interrupt a lot without meaning to I usually apologise after
I think he speaks with love and pride of his step son. They both going to be in survival mode. Trapped in their situation with their son being at the centre.
I wish the step dad would let mum talk.
And stop checking himself out in the monitors… he was definitely there for his 15 minutes.
I was about to write the same thing. He literally butt's in every few minutes.... Prayers for him and his family that he continues to improve and all the best during this difficult time.
He is a bit annoying, but he's stuck around, as he should, but a lot wouldn't. So yes he was interrupting, but that could also be nerves.
I’m telling you now, this boy will make an 90% recovery, he will be walking and talking within 2 years from now, my cousin was in a vegetative starte, I was told she would not walk talk etc, 2 years and she’s using internet, walking and talking, yes there are challenges but for this boys parents I’m telling you now, he is going to make a remarkable recovery. Godbless x❤
Amen! My prayers are with what you just said and Im praying for Jack, his freinds, and his family! An God bless the kayaker who miraculously found Jack! I was brain damaged when I was 15yo and I have learning disabilities, and it took me about 8 years, but I did get better!
Not going to happen, not after 8 minutes under water without oxygen
It’s so horrific but this guy oh my word, let the mum speak!!!!it’s like it’s all about him, he’s embarrassing
Excessive talking is a mask for anxiety. He was probably just nervous.
🙄 Ohplease Ophelia. No one would care if the mom was overtalking the dad.
15 min of fame for the step dad. (Probably both still traumatized) Bad interviewing by the hosts. They should have intervened and ask the mum directly. Good luck to the lad. Hoping for recovery.
The flip knocked him out, it was the fact he then spent 8 minutes under water that did the damage.
It said on the news he hit his head first in the water, his head did not hit the water first?
You’ve just repeated the same thing? What do you mean? Your reply makes zero sense the way you’ve worded it.
@@ashleighmackenzie8670 who are you replying to? Should have hit the reply button
Many signs say not to jump off the piers so ngl this is no one else’s fault but his own, u can call me harsh ect it’s the truth if he followed the rules he woulda been fine
@@itza1974 normally I would agree, but he had a medical condition didn’t he, you don’t think straight like someone without the condition
The step dad should not keep saying ‘I do it myself’ about pier jumping etc. Do not encourage that behaviour when your step-son has suffered as a result of doing that.
He's just being truthful.. I wouldn't say hes encouraging it 🤷♂️ it won't stop kids doing it anyway
@@angel467 I never disputed that fact, it just seems highly irresponsible to be justifying or normalising dangerous acts
I like when he said: when your toddler swears...as if it's normal...lol..and all toddlers start to swear at some point 🤦🏼♀️
What a strong young man I pray he continues to gain strength and good health lovely parents
What lovely parents! Very real and down to earth. What a lovely young man i hope his brain heals completely and all the things that need to work do ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That stepdad is annoying. He wanted to be in the spotlight and tried to take over the interview. And when he wasn't running his mouth, he would stare into the camera to be noticed. I get the sense he is a narcissist.
I had exactly the same thought. Very loud alarm bells ringing for coercive controlling behaviour.
Oh please stop being so woke and judgmental. He simply is concerned and passionate about his step son. His interjections weren't rude at all. He is knowledgeable and sharing and giving viewers a better understanding. I found it informative.
Weird how we just kept hearing from the step dad rather than the woman who gave birth to him and has been there for him every second of his life...
The step dad likes the sound of his own voice. Interupting the mum
Poor lad thank God the kayaker was there bless him and his parents I wish them well
The stepdad sure loves the sound of hisvown voice and you could see Dermot and Alison were likely thinking the same thing😮😮
There’s something not right here, the stepdad keeps checking himself out in the camera and seems almost excited to tell the story?
How do you mean check himself in the camera? At what duration? Please can you state so I can rewatch it?
I know he stopped Mom from saying a lot, but we have got to respect that, step Dad/ Dad ,pays attention to his son as a person and hes proud to speak about him.❤❤😊
This man has to be more self aware, at least let her finish a sentence acting like some sort of expert
Im sitting here watching and all i can think is will you ever let the mum speak. The step dad wouldnt stop interupting the poor woman.
I then went into the comments to see if anyone else was thinking the same, and im happy to see so many comments agreeing with what i was thinking. This guy really loves the sound of his own voice, that was so annoying.
Every summer young people lose their lives or are left with terrible injuries due to swimming and diving accidents. I have great sympathy for this family. I hope he recovers.
@@SeanPittaway-lb9bg I was a scardy cat. I knew I could die and I was careful. I was made fun of, but I never did anything dangerous. Neither did my best friend. No back flips or diving. No cliff jumping. No climbing towers. I lived up by Yosemite NP.
Poor woman wish the stepdad would let the mum talk
I really! Feel like this kayaker is a hero and also it's a miracle that he survived this accident
Step dad is so rude, interrupting. 😮
I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to him and his family and friends
This is so sad 😢 and I really hope that he continues to improve.
I think this couple are obviously in deep shock, and I think they are respectful of each other, the step dad talking I think is his way of coping, I don’t think he is meaning to interrupt the mother, and I don’t think she looks annoyed imo.
They seem a really nice couple and I hope that they get the funding and all the help they need now to cope with this tragic event, this is so sad when a young lad makes a wrong decision, or a decision that unfortunately goes wrong
I love how she called ADHD something positive as in super power. We need more of that in the world.. acceptance ❤ Such a heart breaking story, sending hugs
The step dad enjoying the lime light too much in my opinion.
Healing hugs to jack
My mum use to be mates with lisa they where close i did see jack quite often he is a strong lad he will get frough
The irony of the step dad laughing at his step son for being a talker 😂
Poor lad hope he makes a full recover 🙏🏻
Why’s step dad staring into the camera, checking himself out constantly, and constantly interrupting? Seems vain vain vain!
When we were teenagers, we would try silly things because of the rebellious and carefree nature. I almost fell from a great height once because I was doing a challenge to go down a ladder from a great height…and I was 19 when so did that, lol. When I was around 15, many of my classmates would drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes secretly. There was also a drugs scandal during my secondary school years. I feel sad for this lad, because he was a healthy and functioning human being and now he has become brain damaged because of a silly challenge he set himself. I hope no other teenagers have similar mistakes. Life is precious and special, think before you do risky challenges.
Aw, This is so awful. Im so sorry for this poor family and young boy and all the people that knew him.
The step-dad is talking too much but I don’t think it is malicious. He is anxious and needs to talk about this situation. ❤
Praying he makes a full recovery 😢😢😢😢
People are so quick to assume the worst…maybe the dad is extremely nervous and just checking to see what he looks like to reassure himself? Maybe he just talks a lot when he’s nervous? Maybe he feels terrible and like this was his fault and he’s struggling through some grief? Goodness sakes.
It’s vital for individuals to learn how to do flips correctly. Visiting a gymnastics center once or twice can and asking them to teach you how to protect your head, neck spine etc is so vital to life! Always listen to someone trying to help you learn correctly because they are trying to help others from trauma.
They mentioned Jack has ADHD at the beginning. I have ADHD too which does make us impulsive. Medication is life changing but unfortunately the waiting list to get diagnosed by the NHS is about 3 years, and if you have to move address in that time you get sent back to the bottom again. Sheffield NHS has 7,000 people on their ADHD waiting list and saw just 3 last year. Things need to change!
Dont underestimate the power of water!Once upon a time I loved nothing more than diving and jumping off cliffs or the pier at our local beach! Until the day my mate shattered his pelvis and split his stomach wide open requiring extensive surgery and a long time in hospital, he was 19 years of age! He's 54 now and can hardly walk, and needs to use a walking frame 99 per cent of the time! Please be careful kids!!! So sorry this had to happen to this lad when all he was doing was trying to have a bit of fun!
He is the story of why we tell people not to do things. And of course it doesn't happen to most people. 💔 For boy who wanted to do something fun and couldn't have predicted the consequences that came from his action
I hope he recovers and heals fully, sending him strength and hope ❤
Dad is trying to control the situation.... because he can't control what's happened to his son. It's a defense mechanism. Everybody's heartbroken. 😢🙏💔
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for this Young man & the family
Praying for a speedy recovery❤ Hope & Pray he get's all back to normal soon.
This is absolutely tragic. I had thought he hit his head or broke his neck. I've been on swim teams for most of my life and was a lifeguard through college. I hope they are able to find the kayaker. I've seen good swimmers get in trouble in the water. I'm keeping this family in my prayers. I love that stepdad says he's his best mate and how much he loves him.
God bless him I wish him well ❤
She looks so young bless her😢
You hear that story to often now
Sad
They talk of him as in the past ❤
So sad poor lad sending love to the family
what a brave family hope he gets better
Why on earth are people talking about who is speaking or not, did you even hear what this boy and his family are going through?! People grow up!
My prayers to Jack for a full recovery! Dave and Lisa hang in there! ❣
Because it’s really disturbing watching the step dad constantly checking himself out, almost smirking as he’s doing so, looking into the monitors and camera constantly on,y to then constantly interrupt the boys mom.. He was being rude. He was being vain. He’s enjoying the spotlight far too much given the circumstances. It’s gross.
im from Cornwall and pier jumping is banned in 99% of seaside towns with a harbour or a pier type structure and theres sign around saying this, and this is the reason why, its not there to be a bahh humbug its there to try and save peoples lifes
The fella in the kayak is a hero ❤
Hope he recovers
This is so sad 😢 thinking of the family 🙏
Y’all must not have watched the whole video . Mom has her time to talk too .
May he fully recover
I disagree with everyone about the dad. Grief and trauma effects people in all kinds of ways. He got talkative and wanted to express his feelings. I don't think it was intentional disregard to his wife. He's severely anxious over the whole thing.
He is a warrior. Hopefully, he will get through it in time. ❤
Absolutely gutted for uall so hearbreaking to hear this He sound like a wonderful beatiful young man. God bless 🙏💙🇬🇪
I remember being in town and seeing the helicopter fly away and saying I wonder if it was a beach accident, so sad :(
Ray Winston, s voice lol 😂 bless that lad very sad and god bless his mum 🙏
Praying 🙏 for Jack this is so sad.
Heartbreaking :(
Stepdad never stops talking
@@nathaliegrieves3859 It may not matter, however, he kept butting in and consciously looking into the camera when speaking. The mom couldn’t get a word in edgewise due to him interrupting her every time she was asked a question. You could tell by her body language and the look on her face that she was annoyed with him. He was so embarrassing.
May he recover soon 🙏
The man loves his son so why criticise him for talking? They seem like a lovely couple.
The saddest, part of all of this is that no one went into the water to help him! To me, that just shows how cowardly our current youth are. He didn’t end up with brain damage because he made a mistake. We all make mistakes. he ended up with brain damage because his friends didn’t jump in to save him. Because they weren’t brought up properly to have any bravery. Poor lad failed by his closest.
This step dad guy wants to hear himself so much , Jack’s Mom who birthed Jack should be the one who should be speaking , My Prayers for Jack’s speedy recovery and also for parents ,families and friends Every case is different and complex some Doctors tend to generalise about recovery and healing but it always not the same for everyone so lets pray and hope the young man will turn around asap❤️
My school had two different swimming accidents in the same area on the RIVER! Wheeled chair bound ! Third one was freak accident while snowmobiling!
How wonderful to see that he’s making some improvements
You never do flips of a pier
Bless him I feel your pain guys thinking of you with you the best of luck 🤞preying for you that he comes back slowly but surely ❤
Step dad has alot to blame about this.
Wonderful kayak man
Step Dad seems to have impulse control issues. Let your wife speak, it’s not all about you.
How annoying is this "step dad" enjoying the lime light
The man who saved him could of been an angel.
This bloke is so annoying!!! He gotta stop interrupting!!!
Step dads talking like it’s a bad memories out with his friends like not justifying how bad a descion that young lad made and saying it’s dangerous instead he’s smiling saying I would do it myself and I still and to make sure u have friend bear by he should be saying don’t go in the water at all after that I am baffled with this interview 😮😢😮
Im sorry to say this but he has been taught to flip off things and I'm finding it hard to comprehend how they can sit on the This Morning sofa and excitedly re-tell the tale, speak about him the past tense without sadness and not be at his bedside in the hospice.
They’re probably on the show to share his story and spread awareness about jumping off piers and stuff
@@clairepenfold6432 Raise awareness yet at the same time said he would do it and had encouraged him to do it in the past. It's the way they told the tragic tale with all the emotion of delivering second hand gossip, especially his step father, it was only a month ago and he's incredibly ill. They would have been paid too.
Sending love and prayers. His Step Dad has explained this clearly, well done Step Dad, you clearly love him and his Mum very much! 🙏🩷🙏🩷🙏🩷
I’d first like to say, I’m glad he’s doing better and showing signs of recovery.
The step dad is being a little too extra. Keep looking at the camera, cutting people off, making it about himself in anyway he can, how HE takes him to work and he makes sure he was being safe in certain circumstances. I may watch too many TH-cam stories or news stories but seems like he’s giving off “I’m the loving step dad that would never do anything to my son” vibes.
Maybe I’m a little twisted, but I hope when the boy goes home, and God forbid he’s in a state where he can’t really talk for himself, nothing happens to him. Again, I’m sorry if it’s dark, but this step dad is being just a little too “perfect” and made me really uncomfortable.
I agree, he keeps over emphasising how great their relationship was before the accident. Very strange
Get well soon ❤
I know all about adhd my son had this and autism he is too confident. The stepdaughter totally loves himself he should be quiet and let Jack's mum actually speak if she is aloud too. How day he take over the whole conversation he's is a narassic
Y’all keep talking about the step dad interrupting but I think the interviewers were constantly interrupting to. They were all annoying for talking over the mom
Step dad acts like he's on something.
Please try Chiropractic or an Upper Cervical Specialist. He can be helped by aligning the neck and spine.
He’s young, you’ll get there , 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is my worst nightmare
Mum didnt seem very happy she couldnt get a word in bless her
