An emotional rollercoaster. Once again, we're extremely thankful for all the hard work our first responders and lifeguards do to keep everyone safe at the beach. Do you think we got the order right? Did we miss something? What do you think?
My heart goes out to you all. You did everything you could. Well wishes for all involved. I cried with you all and I wasn’t even there. Proud of everyone of you.
As i am a first aider, watching you all do these incredible resuscitation and first aid helps me out so much. I have yet to do any sort of resuscitation but when i have to, i know with my training and watching your videos, im sure i can do a good job. Keep up the amazing work guys. Bondi lifeguards are heros in blue.
Hmm, I was thinking about the time when Tom bring back to life a girl who had to be resus, and he was so concerned and relieved at the end... I actually like this compassion about Tom... that was in the earlier sesons... Other thing that comes to my mind is when Deano assist, with other lifeguards, a girl who was chocking with a sand(?)... He was really reasuring and caring... Anyway... Great videos you choose :) :) Thank you for all saved lives and smiles you gave us... :) :) :)
Wow the fact that the lifeguards listened to the man so closely and understood all the signs of a heart attack and hooked him up BEFORE the heart attack happened and were able to predict and were ready when it happened is truly astonishing!! You guys are more than lifeguards you are all literal daily life savers!!!!! Absolutely the highest respect for all that you do and then some!!
As a nurse who works in hospital I 100% second this. These guys are really, truly incredible. No code is perfect, but these guys do their absolute best in the worst conditions, and achieve better results than you see in hospital. They are absolute heroes.
Absolutely. I'm sure if I went to the ER in that exact situation they would tell me I just have anxiety and need to calm down. And then make me fill out 20 forms as I sit and wait to die.
Imagine seeing a whole video of your rescue. Being able to watching everything that happened while you were clinically dead. That’s insane. These life guards are angels on the beach.
The moment that the family realizes that the second patient was their brother-in-law always makes me cry, no matter how many times I’ve seen the clip. RIP Jonny. I hope Odbjørg and her family are doing as okay as they can be in these circumstances
The Korean student, while watching himself being brought back to life, seeing his own blue face, his limp limbs hanging as he's carried away from the water... to watch his face get serious, but then to break into a big smile and laugh as he says "OMG I was dead!" and the laughter that brought to everyone... it was as impactful to me as seeing his fight for life earilier. I can't explain it other than I think I felt some of the relief the boys who saved him felt as they broke into laughter with him, at hearing how well this lad reacted to watching himself go thru a literal life-and-death experience. I hope this lad lives his second chance at life to the fullest. And to his rescuers, you lads are all, each of you, straight up heroes. You all have my utmost respect for what you do so selflessly. If the guy on the jetski isn't already a lifeguard, BR should get him signed up pronto. He seems a full-on natural!
As a senior lifeguard, it's always heartbreaking when you lose someone. I became one recently for a local beach out here on Vancouver Island and you'd be surprised by how fast our tides can go out, then come back in. And sometimes, depending on seismic activity, they can go out off schedule which lures many people into a false sense of security. But when you save someone and they come back days later, to hug you, and say thank you, that's the best damn feeling ever.
I’m also from Vancouver Island (grew up near Parksville)! It’s so scary how many tourists and even locals don’t understand how powerful the ocean can be, and how fast it can turn.
@@carmanahhain622 I'm originally from Ontario, but I adapted quickly to life out here and you're right, it's scary how little they (tourists and locals alike) know of how fast the ocean can change.
Ontarian here with 27 years of visiting P.E.I (mother's family is from the island) and swimming in the ocean there not far from the bridge... Watching Bondi Beach I don't think I'd trust myself to swim there...just too unpredictable. My strongest skill when it comes to swimming is floating which is both a skill...and one of the only plus points for obesity lol. I can shred water and keep my head above but the problem with ocean waves that I don't think most realize is that they push AND pull and the pulling makes coming into shore exhausting sometimes and that's not even dealing with ripcurrents. Last summer my family and I went swimming on a particularly windy day at high tide and my siblings and I all went out really far so long as we could touch the bottom in the "saddle" moment of the waves but judging by my brother in law's height I'd estimate the waves were as high as 7ft (by measuring from our feet touching the floor). Looking back at my mother laying on the beach she was like a speck... it was farther than a football stadium. The process of trying to get back to shore though... It felt like it took me almost an hour before it was shallow enough to walk through the water. My buoyancy actually was a major factor as to why it was taking me so long to get back, I was kicking hard and although I wasn't panicking I could totally see how a less experienced swimmer would panic and tire out being unable to shred water. I realized that as I was swimming back I'd maybe make inches of progress at a time and then I was pulled back. It really felt like I was stuck. It was the first time swimming in those conditions since I was a little girl and I was significantly fatter than I was then so cutting through the waves was much harder. I was weak kneed once I got back on shore and a little winded by I was good 30 minutes later.
This absolutely so sad. Tears filled my eyes as soon as I realized only the wife/ sister was able to be saved. Heartbreaking to say the least. Just glad you all did such a great job as much as you could and didn’t stop until it was finalized.
I lost my dad to a sudden heart attack last year when he was 56 and I’m so glad these lifeguards were here for this man and were able to help him. These lifeguards are truly amazing
Man that dude died so fast, from talking to dead. Super lucky that he had that attached to him and so much help surrounding him, his heart attack was actually pretty big.
With the sheer amount of people on this beach every day, and the sheer disrespect of some people not following the rules regarding the flags, I'm actually surprised there aren't more deaths at Bondi. And a lot of that is due to the dedication of the Lifeguards. Thank you for everything you do.
With this first one, #5, it wasn't just the lifeguards or paramedics, but also the guy that went to find the lifeguards. He was most important for real. That man could have laid there until he passed away. Amazing job looking out.
My heart breaks for Jethro. I cannot imagine the frustration he felt sitting in the tower watching all that unfold. For all of them...the high of saving one person, then the pain of losing another. Heroes. all of them!
I’m so amazed how they can put so much heart into the rescues and then get the job done and even save people’s lives. My favourite part was when Harrison said. “ The best weapon to have on u is a taser or gun which the police have. But I’m armed with a green whistle and a radio”. That cracked me up😂
I know what it was like as a state corrections officer to only carry pepper spray and a radio when inmates had knives. I can only somewhat understand where these lifeguards are coming from. The hand gestures (pumps) to communicate from the board to the tower was what saved a life!!!
28:33 - the fact that Chapo wasn't even working and he just ran in anyway shows the commitment of the lifeguards and how amazing they are.... then 30:39 has me crying, the teamwork of civilians and lifeguards never fails to make me cry, sometimes humans can be so amazing, and it honestly causes me to cry. Also, poor Jethro, sat in the tower and unable to help, that must be so hard
As a recently retired deputy coroner after more than 17 years of service I can't tell you how many times paramedics have come to me and asked "Please let us know what happened. We thought we did everything right. Did we miss something?" It can be a tough job. I can happily report that in all those years they never missed anything or did anything wrong.
I was a medic for about 10 years and I’ve had a few patients that died and I can’t help but wonder if I could have done more. No one ever blamed me but I definitely blamed myself with 2 of them. One was a 3 year old boy who coded as I intubated him after his dad accidentally ran him over and the wheel went over his head and the other was a 43 year old who went into flash pulmonary edema while we were enroute to the hospital about 30 minutes away. He was stable when we left his home and was alert and talking. By the time we got to the ER he was in cardiac arrest leaving behind his 16 year old son and no mother in the picture (I don’t know why). I saw his son after the ER declared him dead and he thanked me for trying. I just bawled and hugged him. He would be 29 years old now and I wonder how he is!
@@debrakleid5752 I'm so sorry! Some calls stick with you forever. I'm sure the mans son remembers you as someone who did everything she could to help his father. Hope you had debrief available to you? It was never available in our office so a lot of memories linger. We see so many horrible things. Take care.
@@debrakleid5752 Consider all the lives you've saved. Sometimes people can't be saved. My Father died of a heart attack at home. We lived next door to a very experienced Fireman who was on the scene within say 90 seconds to 2 minutes and immediately commenced CPR and the Ambulance station was only 400 metres away by road. They were on the scene
Lost a friend in a camping beach in Thailand, rangers did their part well but he’s had a heart attack while swimming, it was so hard for us friends not having boards to carry him out of the water, tried to resuscitate him but the cardiac arrest got him so badly. It’s so heartbreaking cause a week ago we were trying to push him to have a check as hes been complaining about his energy level. It’s different when I experienced a person literally passed, it affected me for almost a year. The hardest part was when we had to call our friend’s mom overseas that her son passed away
We're deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a friend in such a tragic way is incredibly difficult, and our hearts go out to you and his family. It's a stark reminder of the importance of taking care of our health and listening to our bodies. We can't imagine how challenging it must have been to make that call to his mom, but your support and love undoubtedly meant the world to her during such a heartbreaking time. 💙
This collection of rescues had tears rolling down my face The poor family that lost their brother in law and the successful resuscitation of the young Korean chap Bravo to all the lifeguards and the members of the public who also stopped at nothing to help 👏
Jess Ventures: Hello, mate! You expressed everything I felt so succinctly! These wonderful people all deserve the highest praise and our gratitude and respect! You are all top of the line, and the reason the survivors got a second chance at life. I hope they learn from their experiences. God bless every one of these real superheroes!
Laughing is probably his defense mechanism in order to cope. When I am unbelievably terrified (probably beyond terrified) I am either silent but usually laughing hysterically (my sister has the same reaction).
@@kari34b54 oh definitely. I do the same thing. If you don’t laugh, you cry. Not that it’s bad to cry, but sometimes things can be so overwhelming that you have to laugh just to cope!
@@crisl9079 The brain can't deal with the situation and resorts to the only function the body can handle. This happens in imense stress or pain moments as the brain copes with laughter as it literally can't deal with the realization and pulls it into the absurdity that makes us laugh. So Yes, denial is very much a reason for it. But there is also a condition that can be the cause for this, albeit I don't know the name of that.
Imagine being clinically dead, while lifeguards were constantly trying to help you! I’m so glad Ryan is now alive and happy! It’s is so wholesome to see him come back to the tower and thank the lifeguards for rescuing! They were just in time to rescue him! Lifeguards at the Bondi beach are Angels!
I’m so impressed not only with your skills and professionalism, but even more by your compassion. You obviously care, and it’s a gift to the entire community.
No matter how many times I've watched Johnny and Odbjorg's rescues, knowing what will happen next, knowing the outcome, I'm still in floods of years. I think it's how difficult it was to get them both back to shore, that it came completely out of the blue, & comprehending what the lifeguards were all experiencing, including Jethro watching from the tower. Ryan's recovery isn't any less miraculous; how he went from, as he said, being 'dead' to trying to get up, within a matter of minutes, is astounding. The most impactful moment with Ryan was watching him see the video of his rescue, seeing the realisation across his face just how close he came to death...you couldn't really get any closer! The lifeguards did, and do, a fantastic job in all the 3 CPR rescues in this video. Sadly, you can't always manage to bring someone back, you don't know what underlying conditions there might be, imagine if Kurt had still been in the water when he arrested, but nobody can say there was anything you didn't try or effort you didn't give. To the guys involved in Johnny's rescue from the water, the concern that his relatives were watching something unprofessional, when what everyone from the beach saw was 3 superhumans, fighting the sea and managing to get Johnny back to the beach, in a situation that looked completely impossible but none of you gave up 🙏🏻
I've seen rescues of many people in this show for whom English is not their first language. The way people would laugh, like Ryan did when he first realized he was really and truly dead, always confounded me. I noticed that Asian people in particular do this. I realized though, that their laughter was a nervous response. But their eyes usually change when they realize just how serious their situation had been. You see it in Ryan after his initial outburst, as he watches the lifeguards literally bring him back to life. I really hope that actually seeing himself dead, was incentive for him to get swimming lessons. I am still confounded by the large number of people who go into the water, not knowing how to swim. Especially parents who take their children who can't swim, and let them run around in the water. It's insane, is what it is.
Life Guards need more appreciation. They do everything to save lives, and keep the beaches and communities safe. Keep up the amazing work! RIP Johnny! ❤
Whoever the director of cinematography for this show is needs a raise and some recognition. The entire show is shot and framed gorgeously, but that shot at 35:30 that pans from the DANGEROUS CURRENTS sign to the group of EMS workers packing their stuff up is chilling.
My brother had a heart attack at his workplace when he was 36 years old. Due to clogged arteries, he had to have open heart surgery. They took arteries from his legs and placed them in his heart and had to do bypass sergery on 3 main arteries in his heart. Today he is 65 years old and he is doing good, praise the Lord!
I haven't been in the water since 2010 when I quit being a lifeguard. Just too emotional. God bless these men and women that keep people safe in the water.
I was a lifeguard for about 6 yrs. We constantly train monthly for the CPR rescue. I was surprised to find out the success for this procedure is only bout 3%. The time devoted to this is insane.
Depends on if you get to them with AED while they're in shockable rhythm, and if not how long they're down before they can receive advanced care to get a rhythm back. This guy lived because they had the pads already on him when he arrested.
Not sure about Australia but in US its about a 5% success rate in the field and a 20% success rate in a hospital for CPR. And it is important to remember it's the CPR that saved that man not the defibrillator. A defibrillator only helps correct an arrythmia it doesn't restart the heart like movies may have you believe. They should have just immediately started CPR instead of using the defibrillator.
@@Nilboggen saving life does not always mean quality of life is maintained either. Plenty of "saved lives" involve major brain damage so there's that part of the percentage also.
@@Nilboggen my point was actually the opposite. For the time and resources put into this it certainly is not worth it. But I thank you for your respectful replies.
I send my deepest thanks for the work you do. You do your absolute best to keep everyone safe. When worst comes to worst, you put your best efforts forward. You absolutely rock. The rescues in number 2 were definitely the most dramatic. You kept going even when the odds were stacked against you, and your efforts are to be remembered in eternity. Hasta a la playa!
I had CPR done on me once. My chest hurt for like a week. Still grateful to the first responders that saved my life. These people do such vital service. Thanks for their service!
I got teary eyed when they go back to talk to the life guards! That has to be the best feeling ; to know you saved someone’s life and they are alive because of Bondi lifeguards
This shows how deep chest compressions have to be and it’s almost scary seeing how the whole body shakes. I’ve only ever seen CPR on dummies in classes but seeing it on a real person is so mind blowing. Shout out to them and their rigorous training keeping people safe!
These clips brought me to tears. The Bondi lifeguards are heroes and I really hope that I can make it to Bondi one day and thank them in person for all of their hard work and dedication to saving people’s lives.
Fun fact. This TH-cam channel made me get my first aid and defib certification. I think this is the most valuable you can be to the people physically nearest to you, first responders and the first aid you get must be quick, and well assessed. To anyone else out there that’s also got their knowledge of basic or advanced first aid, you are needed in this unfair world
I just cried and cried about this first guy!! I don't know if I can watch more! Poor guy! Oh thank goodness! They updated us!! So glad he made it! My word!!! That was so upsetting!!!
Heart attacks are terrifying. My gramps hid the fact he was getting cramps in his chest. He down played everything. We found out too late he had been having mini heart attacks. He was recovering just sitting up after talking to us on the phone from hospital. We weren't allowed to visit due to lockdown. Then get a phone call 5 mins later that crushed my world. He had a massive heart attack and had passed away. That first clip just brought back many bad memories. It can happen so quick sometimes. You lifeguards do such amazing work ❤
Wait, they only have one defib? That's brutal - there should be at least 2 minimum, if not more. Amazing job these lifeguards, and all the people keeping everyone safe.
@@luftwaffles274 No, if you watch the full episode of that incident, it took them so much longer to get the man out of the water that medics had arrived by the time they got him to the beach otherwise the only AED was being used on the woman. Dr. Mike recently did a video reacting to this situation and Bondi Rescue replied to a comment saying they’ve since invested in a second AED.
The machine tells you when they have a shockable rhythm so you don’t know what your saying. You can’t shock a stopped heart so there was nothing else they can do
You all are so vital to the public's safety, no matter what your role is at the time! Horrifically sad to lose any patient, but remember how many that you have saved and will continue to save! The number of lives saved will always far outweigh the number of those lost. To the family of the man lost, prayers for comfort for his loss, and praise for the rescue of his wife!
It never ceases to amaze me the dedication the life guards, ambos and police and compassion and care they give to the patients they treat. God bless them all.❤
This man was very lucky to have such competent group of life guards there that day it was just wonderful to watch. They saved a life what a wonderful feeling all of them must have felt. Congratulations 🎊
For the 1st one, my dad is 47 and had a heart attack 2 weeks ago he had symptoms of pain in the left arm and sore heart. He went to the hospital and luckily had the heart attack at the hospital not at home or the car. He survived and this was a very scary day for me and my family. A few days after he came home he stubbed his toe and broke it 😢. He is now alright and ive been able to see him many times ❤
So glad they saved that guy! 18 yrs ago a bunch of people, including paramedics, could not save my brother, 54, who had a heart attack playing basketball. He was DOA. I’m grateful to them for trying. Horrible experience.
I was a paramedic in the US for about 10 years. I’ve seen several patients go into cardiac arrest and it is scary especially when you are responsible for trying to save their lives. Most don’t survive a cardiac arrest in the field so this first man was very lucky to have arrested where and when he did. I’m not sure how many people I’ve seen go into cardiac arrest but it’s probably about a dozen or so and I’ve had a lot more already in cardiac arrest by the time we arrived. My youngest was a 22 week premie born in a car (my first delivery as a medic) and I also had a 3 year old who went into cardiac arrest after his dad accidentally ran him over with his truck. The child went into cardiac arrest when I intubated him (put a breathing tube down). Had many adults code on me and one really hit hard. He was 43 years old and was stable when we left his home to go to the hospital and about 10 minutes later he went into flash pulmonary edema (lungs filled with fluid very quickly). He was in cardiac arrest by the time we got to the ER. He went from talking to me and dying within minutes. Nothing worse than that but at the same time I’ve had many STEMI’s (confirmed heart attack via EKG) with most making it to the hospital and on to the cath lab. One man was within an hour of dying when he had his heart attack. His EKG is impressive where you see the heart attack on the first EKG and then 15 minutes later he was showing “tombstones” on the heart monitor so we knew he was very close to going into cardiac arrest and the ER we needed (couldn’t go to closest ER because they didn’t have a cath lab or any cardiologists for that matter) was about 30-45 minutes away. I treated him with everything I had (oxygen, IV Morphine, Aspirin, Nitroglycerin, and Phenergan). He was in the cath lab before we had the ambulance cleaned up. I found out his wife either called or wrote a note thanking us for saving her husbands life. We didn’t really do anything other than treat him. The real “hero” was his wife when she called 911 and didn’t just ignore the symptoms like many patients do. A nurse a month or so later remembered me from when we dropped him off at the ER. He said he had less than an hour to live so had we taken him to the wrong facility or not declared him a “STEMI Alert” he would have died but he made it. I loved being a medic and I really miss it!
As a former lifeguard I never had to deal with rescues of this serious magnitude. I worked in a bath house in Sweden where drownings rarely occur. I can't imagine having a dead person on your conscience and continue working, then coming home and trying to sleep. I hope they aren't taking it too hard. They're good lifeguards - maybe the best in the business.
WOW! So happy I found this video. My 16yo wants to be certified in CPR and I'm going to show her this video so she knows how important it is, the importance of doing it correctly and effectively, and the impact it has on others.
Nurses face this often in the acute care setting and after a code we have no time to recover because we have our patients to take care of. You only have to live it to believe the trauma we go through. However ,WHAT A GREAT JOB,SAVING ANOTHER LIFE. Definitely not a boring profession.
Ive spent a lot of time in the water racing standup jetskiis on the West Coast and I dont think most people realize just how difficult it is to become a life guard at this level... No day is the same and the number of lives that these "Champs" change is staggering.. not just the ones that they take out of the water... MASSIVE Respect to each of them... and a huge THANK YOU!!!.. Well done!
you guys truly inspire me, thank you all so much for being a bright face for these people too wake up to. you guys are truly hero’s and no matter how much i think about it i could not imagine being in the position you guys are in. thank you for helping so many people. you guys are truly my hero’s.
Guys understand that for the rest of your life you can know that somebody is alive thanks to you. They get to spend another day with their loved ones. Well done
……it’s just gotta be crazy seeing yourself die. He seemed like a bright kid & he was grateful to the lifeguards for saving his life. I have so much respect for these Bondi Lifeguards. Such a demanding job and they do so well at it.
My first time watching this and watching the people tapping out, hearts stopping, bodies floating face down….my God I was in tears for these poor people. Thank you life guards for all you do. You are the equivalent to Ambulance paramedics and firefighters but so often under appreciated. God bless you all!!!!
These lifeguards are great humans! Bondi is so fortunate to have this team of such caring and responsible men and that they work so well together! Such a huge job!
When Ryan (cool name btw 😎) watched back the video of them bringing him back to life it was super jarring. He was all smiles but when they where carrying his lifeless body up the beach you could see his smile fade and he realized, “holy shit I’m dead here”. He even says “wow I was dead” or something like that and laughed it off. Super scary and serious!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again Everyone in Bondi Rescue are heroes I know it's hard when someone does in your arms, but know that If it weren't for you guys, there would be a lot more people not going home I'm so sorry for Odbjørg and losing her husband, but thanks to you, she can live on with his memory Rest In Peace Johnny 🌹
I cant imagine how people feel to see themself come back survival from almost death. Just hope people stay safe. That number 2 case really hit me when I hear the lifeguard said they got the "pulse". This is toughed. Thank you all the heroes who try to save life. Big respect from me 🙏
I witnessed an 84 year old walking his dog drop dead from a heart attack... dead as a door nail. I was with him for about 40 minutes! cpr the lot, got him back to life with the help of the ambos & had lunch with his family & kids on the 1 year anniversary of saving his life! Incredible feeling seeing someone back on their feet and enjoying family time. Also truly terrifying seeing how quick your life can end while out walking the dog
You should have done the video of the asian guy and his family were at the beach, and the life guards thought they saw someone go under but when they went to look, they couldn't find them. And then as the lifeguards were packing up a lady approached and said her husband was missing, and they found the guy several hours later dead
Mad respect for the people who do this job I used to be a lifeguard at a pool but I can’t imagine doing that at a beach where the water has a mind of its own ive seen and experienced a lot of scary stuff in my life but this def takes the cake I don’t know if I could do it 😭😭
I have heaps of tears coming down so sad to watch Bondi rescue you work so hard to save you're the reason everyone is safe big thank you to Bondi rescue
Seeing the raw emotion on the lifeguards just shows how much they care u guys are lifesavers never forget that one or two deaths doesn’t make u any less of hero’s
I recently had a friend and his uncle who drowned in a fishing accident a few km from shore in the Atlantic. Hearing the man in #1 talk about how there was suddenly a comfort before realizing he was dying is strangely terrifying.
What amazes me is 1. That is an ocean w/water! 2. Oceans have strong waves and undertones. 3. People, who cannot swim, still go in the water. Amazing! Thank you for lifeguards!
Don’t ever feel bad for giving the family member that call. Most times the call comes when it’s to late. You’re giving family the time to be there with that loved one prior. Y’all are amazing!!
36:26 what a sad time even the lifeguards were very emotional 😢❤ 46:53 you can just tell how much these lifeguards and paramedics are trained we need more of these ppl in the world 😊❤🎉 congrats
I’m so amazing at how many lives people save, so glad heart attacks don’t always take lives and 54 is very young to have one but he’s so lucky to have everyone. I lost my mother due to one at 34 and I know how scary it can be and deadly, you lot did amazing
These paramedics and lifesavers are just heroes! They will say, it’s all-in a days work, but as a retired nurse myself, I still think these frontline people are unsung heroes and hats off to them! Thanks for what you do!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Nice to see how that man came to thank you!!❤️❤️👏👏
WOW!...Bit of a tearful episode...You are going to need tissues...The aftermath visits were a bonus...Those life guards have it hard, trying to save people, left, right and center...Not a minute to grasp what's before them, till they had to go back in and do what they do best...A real wake up call for me...WELL DONE!...The public clapping was just so you all knew, WELL DONE!

My heart goes out to you all. You did everything you could. Well wishes for all involved. I cried with you all and I wasn’t even there. Proud of everyone of you.
As i am a first aider, watching you all do these incredible resuscitation and first aid helps me out so much. I have yet to do any sort of resuscitation but when i have to, i know with my training and watching your videos, im sure i can do a good job. Keep up the amazing work guys. Bondi lifeguards are heros in blue.
Hmm, I was thinking about the time when Tom bring back to life a girl who had to be resus, and he was so concerned and relieved at the end... I actually like this compassion about Tom... that was in the earlier sesons...
Other thing that comes to my mind is when Deano assist, with other lifeguards, a girl who was chocking with a sand(?)... He was really reasuring and caring...
Anyway... Great videos you choose :) :) Thank you for all saved lives and smiles you gave us... :) :) :)
Wow the fact that the lifeguards listened to the man so closely and understood all the signs of a heart attack and hooked him up BEFORE the heart attack happened and were able to predict and were ready when it happened is truly astonishing!! You guys are more than lifeguards you are all literal daily life savers!!!!! Absolutely the highest respect for all that you do and then some!!
As a nurse who works in hospital I 100% second this. These guys are really, truly incredible. No code is perfect, but these guys do their absolute best in the worst conditions, and achieve better results than you see in hospital. They are absolute heroes.
You can tell these guys really care. Incredible humans.
Ikr my mum doesn’t I’ve me that much respect lol
Absolutely. I'm sure if I went to the ER in that exact situation they would tell me I just have anxiety and need to calm down. And then make me fill out 20 forms as I sit and wait to die.
Crazy fast CPR though 😅
Imagine seeing a whole video of your rescue. Being able to watching everything that happened while you were clinically dead. That’s insane. These life guards are angels on the beach.
That was freaky!!😮
That would literally feel surreal
Those lifeguards are heros ❤
The moment that the family realizes that the second patient was their brother-in-law always makes me cry, no matter how many times I’ve seen the clip. RIP Jonny. I hope Odbjørg and her family are doing as okay as they can be in these circumstances

The Korean student, while watching himself being brought back to life, seeing his own blue face, his limp limbs hanging as he's carried away from the water... to watch his face get serious, but then to break into a big smile and laugh as he says "OMG I was dead!" and the laughter that brought to everyone... it was as impactful to me as seeing his fight for life earilier. I can't explain it other than I think I felt some of the relief the boys who saved him felt as they broke into laughter with him, at hearing how well this lad reacted to watching himself go thru a literal life-and-death experience. I hope this lad lives his second chance at life to the fullest.
And to his rescuers, you lads are all, each of you, straight up heroes. You all have my utmost respect for what you do so selflessly. If the guy on the jetski isn't already a lifeguard, BR should get him signed up pronto. He seems a full-on natural!
As a senior lifeguard, it's always heartbreaking when you lose someone. I became one recently for a local beach out here on Vancouver Island and you'd be surprised by how fast our tides can go out, then come back in. And sometimes, depending on seismic activity, they can go out off schedule which lures many people into a false sense of security. But when you save someone and they come back days later, to hug you, and say thank you, that's the best damn feeling ever.
I’m also from Vancouver Island (grew up near Parksville)! It’s so scary how many tourists and even locals don’t understand how powerful the ocean can be, and how fast it can turn.
@@carmanahhain622 I'm originally from Ontario, but I adapted quickly to life out here and you're right, it's scary how little they (tourists and locals alike) know of how fast the ocean can change.
Ontarian here with 27 years of visiting P.E.I (mother's family is from the island) and swimming in the ocean there not far from the bridge...
Watching Bondi Beach I don't think I'd trust myself to swim there...just too unpredictable. My strongest skill when it comes to swimming is floating which is both a skill...and one of the only plus points for obesity lol. I can shred water and keep my head above but the problem with ocean waves that I don't think most realize is that they push AND pull and the pulling makes coming into shore exhausting sometimes and that's not even dealing with ripcurrents.
Last summer my family and I went swimming on a particularly windy day at high tide and my siblings and I all went out really far so long as we could touch the bottom in the "saddle" moment of the waves but judging by my brother in law's height I'd estimate the waves were as high as 7ft (by measuring from our feet touching the floor).
Looking back at my mother laying on the beach she was like a speck... it was farther than a football stadium.
The process of trying to get back to shore though... It felt like it took me almost an hour before it was shallow enough to walk through the water. My buoyancy actually was a major factor as to why it was taking me so long to get back, I was kicking hard and although I wasn't panicking I could totally see how a less experienced swimmer would panic and tire out being unable to shred water. I realized that as I was swimming back I'd maybe make inches of progress at a time and then I was pulled back. It really felt like I was stuck.
It was the first time swimming in those conditions since I was a little girl and I was significantly fatter than I was then so cutting through the waves was much harder.
I was weak kneed once I got back on shore and a little winded by I was good 30 minutes later.
Wow, KhaleesiKiyiyaWolf a thousand blessings on you; that is powerful knowledge and practice.
@@rainbowunicornnun there's a few of us now.
The pure joy of having the "dead man" return to the tower and thank the guys who brought him back to life. And take a selfie with them. Amazing.
This absolutely so sad. Tears filled my eyes as soon as I realized only the wife/ sister was able to be saved. Heartbreaking to say the least. Just glad you all did such a great job as much as you could and didn’t stop until it was finalized.
I realised as soon as the husband’s face was blurred but the wife’s wasn’t that she would make it and he wouldn’t. Heartbreaking
I don’t care my brother died at Bondi and he was only 11 years old now now if he was alive will be 13 1/2 years old

I lost my dad to a sudden heart attack last year when he was 56 and I’m so glad these lifeguards were here for this man and were able to help him. These lifeguards are truly amazing
I’m so sorry for your loss 💗💗
so sorry for your loss!!
Man that dude died so fast, from talking to dead. Super lucky that he had that attached to him and so much help surrounding him, his heart attack was actually pretty big.
I wondered if Ryan would remember that clap, that was awesome how many people actually care.
With the sheer amount of people on this beach every day, and the sheer disrespect of some people not following the rules regarding the flags, I'm actually surprised there aren't more deaths at Bondi. And a lot of that is due to the dedication of the Lifeguards. Thank you for everything you do.
Also, people who don’t know how to swim up to their chest in the water! Sooo reckless, the beach is not a swimming pool!
With this first one, #5, it wasn't just the lifeguards or paramedics, but also the guy that went to find the lifeguards. He was most important for real. That man could have laid there until he passed away. Amazing job looking out.
Yes, completely agree
Right. If i walked past someone lying down like that on a beach i would assume theyre relaxing or sunbathing
@@snickerdoodles787Exactly. It’s a good job the fella had a keen eye.
My heart breaks for Jethro. I cannot imagine the frustration he felt sitting in the tower watching all that unfold. For all of them...the high of saving one person, then the pain of losing another. Heroes. all of them!
I’m so amazed how they can put so much heart into the rescues and then get the job done and even save people’s lives. My favourite part was when Harrison said. “ The best weapon to have on u is a taser or gun which the police have. But I’m armed with a green whistle and a radio”. That cracked me up😂
tbh if you offered him the whistle you'd only be on his good side!
I know what it was like as a state corrections officer to only carry pepper spray and a radio when inmates had knives. I can only somewhat understand where these lifeguards are coming from. The hand gestures (pumps) to communicate from the board to the tower was what saved a life!!!
The fact that people want to Tuch a dying man getting saved is heart breaking, disgraces
australia disarms their polic
@@初春-y2nThe police had guns. The lifeguards, the ones who save people from drowning, don't have guns guns because they are not police.
28:33 - the fact that Chapo wasn't even working and he just ran in anyway shows the commitment of the lifeguards and how amazing they are.... then 30:39 has me crying, the teamwork of civilians and lifeguards never fails to make me cry, sometimes humans can be so amazing, and it honestly causes me to cry.
Also, poor Jethro, sat in the tower and unable to help, that must be so hard
As a recently retired deputy coroner after more than 17 years of service I can't tell you how many times paramedics have come to me and asked "Please let us know what happened. We thought we did everything right. Did we miss something?" It can be a tough job. I can happily report that in all those years they never missed anything or did anything wrong.
I was a medic for about 10 years and I’ve had a few patients that died and I can’t help but wonder if I could have done more. No one ever blamed me but I definitely blamed myself with 2 of them. One was a 3 year old boy who coded as I intubated him after his dad accidentally ran him over and the wheel went over his head and the other was a 43 year old who went into flash pulmonary edema while we were enroute to the hospital about 30 minutes away. He was stable when we left his home and was alert and talking. By the time we got to the ER he was in cardiac arrest leaving behind his 16 year old son and no mother in the picture (I don’t know why). I saw his son after the ER declared him dead and he thanked me for trying. I just bawled and hugged him. He would be 29 years old now and I wonder how he is!
@@debrakleid5752 I'm so sorry! Some calls stick with you forever. I'm sure the mans son remembers you as someone who did everything she could to help his father. Hope you had debrief available to you? It was never available in our office so a lot of memories linger. We see so many horrible things. Take care.
@@debrakleid5752 Consider all the lives you've saved.
Sometimes people can't be saved. My Father died of a heart attack at home.
We lived next door to a very experienced Fireman who was on the scene within say 90 seconds to 2 minutes and immediately commenced CPR and the Ambulance station was only 400 metres away by road. They were on the scene
This such a great, informative comment. I didn't realize that paramedics followed up on patients.
Thank you for what you have done to help them know what they needed and God bless! ❤️👍🏼
Lost a friend in a camping beach in Thailand, rangers did their part well but he’s had a heart attack while swimming, it was so hard for us friends not having boards to carry him out of the water, tried to resuscitate him but the cardiac arrest got him so badly.
It’s so heartbreaking cause a week ago we were trying to push him to have a check as hes been complaining about his energy level.
It’s different when I experienced a person literally passed, it affected me for almost a year.
The hardest part was when we had to call our friend’s mom overseas that her son passed away
We're deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a friend in such a tragic way is incredibly difficult, and our hearts go out to you and his family. It's a stark reminder of the importance of taking care of our health and listening to our bodies. We can't imagine how challenging it must have been to make that call to his mom, but your support and love undoubtedly meant the world to her during such a heartbreaking time. 💙
This collection of rescues had tears rolling down my face
The poor family that lost their brother in law and the successful resuscitation of the young Korean chap
Bravo to all the lifeguards and the members of the public who also stopped at nothing to help 👏
BIG RESPECT to all lifeguards, first responders, medics, ambo crews and everyone else who contributes to lifesaving efforts in society today

“OH MY GOD I WAS DEAD” and then hysterical laughing catches me off guard no matter how many times I see it lol
Laughing is probably his defense mechanism in order to cope. When I am unbelievably terrified (probably beyond terrified) I am either silent but usually laughing hysterically (my sister has the same reaction).
@@kari34b54 oh definitely. I do the same thing. If you don’t laugh, you cry. Not that it’s bad to cry, but sometimes things can be so overwhelming that you have to laugh just to cope!
A primal emotional reaction/response
@@crisl9079 The brain can't deal with the situation and resorts to the only function the body can handle. This happens in imense stress or pain moments as the brain copes with laughter as it literally can't deal with the realization and pulls it into the absurdity that makes us laugh. So Yes, denial is very much a reason for it.
But there is also a condition that can be the cause for this, albeit I don't know the name of that.
Definitely a coping mechanism. There’s a reason why people say that they laugh to keep from crying in those kinds of situations.
Imagine being clinically dead, while lifeguards were constantly trying to help you! I’m so glad Ryan is now alive and happy! It’s is so wholesome to see him come back to the tower and thank the lifeguards for rescuing! They were just in time to rescue him! Lifeguards at the Bondi beach are Angels!
I’m so impressed not only with your skills and professionalism, but even more by your compassion. You obviously care, and it’s a gift to the entire community.
Watching these men be vulnerable is honestly so heart-warming, I wish more men knew it was ok for them to cry and for them to show their feelings. ❤
Wow that heartattack was so scary, glad that it turned out okay and seeing the man and his wife come back to talk to the lifeguards was really special
No matter how many times I've watched Johnny and Odbjorg's rescues, knowing what will happen next, knowing the outcome, I'm still in floods of years. I think it's how difficult it was to get them both back to shore, that it came completely out of the blue, & comprehending what the lifeguards were all experiencing, including Jethro watching from the tower. Ryan's recovery isn't any less miraculous; how he went from, as he said, being 'dead' to trying to get up, within a matter of minutes, is astounding. The most impactful moment with Ryan was watching him see the video of his rescue, seeing the realisation across his face just how close he came to death...you couldn't really get any closer! The lifeguards did, and do, a fantastic job in all the 3 CPR rescues in this video. Sadly, you can't always manage to bring someone back, you don't know what underlying conditions there might be, imagine if Kurt had still been in the water when he arrested, but nobody can say there was anything you didn't try or effort you didn't give. To the guys involved in Johnny's rescue from the water, the concern that his relatives were watching something unprofessional, when what everyone from the beach saw was 3 superhumans, fighting the sea and managing to get Johnny back to the beach, in a situation that looked completely impossible but none of you gave up 🙏🏻
I've seen rescues of many people in this show for whom English is not their first language. The way people would laugh, like Ryan did when he first realized he was really and truly dead, always confounded me. I noticed that Asian people in particular do this. I realized though, that their laughter was a nervous response. But their eyes usually change when they realize just how serious their situation had been. You see it in Ryan after his initial outburst, as he watches the lifeguards literally bring him back to life. I really hope that actually seeing himself dead, was incentive for him to get swimming lessons. I am still confounded by the large number of people who go into the water, not knowing how to swim. Especially parents who take their children who can't swim, and let them run around in the water. It's insane, is what it is.
Number 2 was so sad. I'm glad the sister survived.
For real tho I’m literally sobbing after watching it
Life Guards need more appreciation. They do everything to save lives, and keep the beaches and communities safe.
Keep up the amazing work!
RIP Johnny! ❤
Whoever the director of cinematography for this show is needs a raise and some recognition. The entire show is shot and framed gorgeously, but that shot at 35:30 that pans from the DANGEROUS CURRENTS sign to the group of EMS workers packing their stuff up is chilling.

My brother had a heart attack at his workplace when he was 36 years old. Due to clogged arteries, he had to have open heart surgery. They took arteries from his legs and placed them in his heart and had to do bypass sergery on 3 main arteries in his heart. Today he is 65 years old and he is doing good, praise the Lord!
And the doctors, surgeons, nurses, anaesthesiologists, etc
These lifeguards are total heroes. Even though I had seen all of these before it was still emotional.
It's beautiful.
I haven't been in the water since 2010 when I quit being a lifeguard. Just too emotional. God bless these men and women that keep people safe in the water.
Thank you for your service👍
What shocking moments from Bondi Rescue do you think should be featured?
Hi
😮
@☆blush♡ so true
the rescue about the 2 year old that was drowning but Mouse did CPR in the ocean and saved the 2 year old
Harries in drag... Again.
I was a lifeguard for about 6 yrs. We constantly train monthly for the CPR rescue. I was surprised to find out the success for this procedure is only bout 3%. The time devoted to this is insane.
Depends on if you get to them with AED while they're in shockable rhythm, and if not how long they're down before they can receive advanced care to get a rhythm back. This guy lived because they had the pads already on him when he arrested.
Not sure about Australia but in US its about a 5% success rate in the field and a 20% success rate in a hospital for CPR. And it is important to remember it's the CPR that saved that man not the defibrillator. A defibrillator only helps correct an arrythmia it doesn't restart the heart like movies may have you believe. They should have just immediately started CPR instead of using the defibrillator.
@@Nilboggen saving life does not always mean quality of life is maintained either. Plenty of "saved lives" involve major brain damage so there's that part of the percentage also.
@@jaimhaas5170 that's a good point. I just didn't want anyone to think it wasn't worth doing. CPR is an amazing tool in our medical arsenal.
@@Nilboggen my point was actually the opposite. For the time and resources put into this it certainly is not worth it. But I thank you for your respectful replies.
I send my deepest thanks for the work you do. You do your absolute best to keep everyone safe. When worst comes to worst, you put your best efforts forward. You absolutely rock. The rescues in number 2 were definitely the most dramatic. You kept going even when the odds were stacked against you, and your efforts are to be remembered in eternity.
Hasta a la playa!
I had CPR done on me once. My chest hurt for like a week. Still grateful to the first responders that saved my life. These people do such vital service. Thanks for their service!
I got teary eyed when they go back to talk to the life guards! That has to be the best feeling ; to know you saved someone’s life and they are alive because of Bondi lifeguards
This shows how deep chest compressions have to be and it’s almost scary seeing how the whole body shakes. I’ve only ever seen CPR on dummies in classes but seeing it on a real person is so mind blowing. Shout out to them and their rigorous training keeping people safe!
These clips brought me to tears. The Bondi lifeguards are heroes and I really hope that I can make it to Bondi one day and thank them in person for all of their hard work and dedication to saving people’s lives.
Fun fact. This TH-cam channel made me get my first aid and defib certification. I think this is the most valuable you can be to the people physically nearest to you, first responders and the first aid you get must be quick, and well assessed.
To anyone else out there that’s also got their knowledge of basic or advanced first aid, you are needed in this unfair world
I just cried and cried about this first guy!! I don't know if I can watch more! Poor guy! Oh thank goodness! They updated us!! So glad he made it! My word!!! That was so upsetting!!!
Heart attacks are terrifying. My gramps hid the fact he was getting cramps in his chest. He down played everything. We found out too late he had been having mini heart attacks. He was recovering just sitting up after talking to us on the phone from hospital. We weren't allowed to visit due to lockdown. Then get a phone call 5 mins later that crushed my world. He had a massive heart attack and had passed away. That first clip just brought back many bad memories. It can happen so quick sometimes. You lifeguards do such amazing work ❤
Wait, they only have one defib? That's brutal - there should be at least 2 minimum, if not more. Amazing job these lifeguards, and all the people keeping everyone safe.
Probably funding issues, it's probably down to a risk assessment, but I agree 100%, a second defib would be super useful!
didn't they have 2, where the sister and in law both had 1 before medics arrived.
@@luftwaffles274 No, if you watch the full episode of that incident, it took them so much longer to get the man out of the water that medics had arrived by the time they got him to the beach otherwise the only AED was being used on the woman. Dr. Mike recently did a video reacting to this situation and Bondi Rescue replied to a comment saying they’ve since invested in a second AED.
The machine tells you when they have a shockable rhythm so you don’t know what your saying. You can’t shock a stopped heart so there was nothing else they can do
@@mr_pebble-sk5irwhat does that have to do with anything lol
You all are so vital to the public's safety, no matter what your role is at the time! Horrifically sad to lose any patient, but remember how many that you have saved and will continue to save! The number of lives saved will always far outweigh the number of those lost.
To the family of the man lost, prayers for comfort for his loss, and praise for the rescue of his wife!
It never ceases to amaze me the dedication the life guards, ambos and police and compassion and care they give to the patients they treat. God bless them all.❤
This man was very lucky to have such competent group of life guards there that day it was just wonderful to watch. They saved a life what a wonderful feeling all of them must have felt. Congratulations 🎊
For the 1st one, my dad is 47 and had a heart attack 2 weeks ago he had symptoms of pain in the left arm and sore heart. He went to the hospital and luckily had the heart attack at the hospital not at home or the car. He survived and this was a very scary day for me and my family. A few days after he came home he stubbed his toe and broke it 😢. He is now alright and ive been able to see him many times ❤
So glad they saved that guy! 18 yrs ago a bunch of people, including paramedics, could not
save my brother, 54, who had a heart attack playing basketball. He was DOA. I’m grateful
to them for trying. Horrible experience.
I was a paramedic in the US for about 10 years. I’ve seen several patients go into cardiac arrest and it is scary especially when you are responsible for trying to save their lives. Most don’t survive a cardiac arrest in the field so this first man was very lucky to have arrested where and when he did. I’m not sure how many people I’ve seen go into cardiac arrest but it’s probably about a dozen or so and I’ve had a lot more already in cardiac arrest by the time we arrived. My youngest was a 22 week premie born in a car (my first delivery as a medic) and I also had a 3 year old who went into cardiac arrest after his dad accidentally ran him over with his truck. The child went into cardiac arrest when I intubated him (put a breathing tube down). Had many adults code on me and one really hit hard. He was 43 years old and was stable when we left his home to go to the hospital and about 10 minutes later he went into flash pulmonary edema (lungs filled with fluid very quickly). He was in cardiac arrest by the time we got to the ER. He went from talking to me and dying within minutes. Nothing worse than that but at the same time I’ve had many STEMI’s (confirmed heart attack via EKG) with most making it to the hospital and on to the cath lab. One man was within an hour of dying when he had his heart attack. His EKG is impressive where you see the heart attack on the first EKG and then 15 minutes later he was showing “tombstones” on the heart monitor so we knew he was very close to going into cardiac arrest and the ER we needed (couldn’t go to closest ER because they didn’t have a cath lab or any cardiologists for that matter) was about 30-45 minutes away. I treated him with everything I had (oxygen, IV Morphine, Aspirin, Nitroglycerin, and Phenergan). He was in the cath lab before we had the ambulance cleaned up. I found out his wife either called or wrote a note thanking us for saving her husbands life. We didn’t really do anything other than treat him. The real “hero” was his wife when she called 911 and didn’t just ignore the symptoms like many patients do. A nurse a month or so later remembered me from when we dropped him off at the ER. He said he had less than an hour to live so had we taken him to the wrong facility or not declared him a “STEMI Alert” he would have died but he made it. I loved being a medic and I really miss it!
As a former lifeguard I never had to deal with rescues of this serious magnitude. I worked in a bath house in Sweden where drownings rarely occur. I can't imagine having a dead person on your conscience and continue working, then coming home and trying to sleep. I hope they aren't taking it too hard. They're good lifeguards - maybe the best in the business.
Bravo for the people who tell the lifeguards when they see people in trouble or suspicious activity. They are hero’s too.
WOW! So happy I found this video. My 16yo wants to be certified in CPR and I'm going to show her this video so she knows how important it is, the importance of doing it correctly and effectively, and the impact it has on others.
Nurses face this often in the acute care setting and after a code we have no time to recover because we have our patients to take care of. You only have to live it to believe the trauma we go through. However ,WHAT A GREAT JOB,SAVING ANOTHER LIFE. Definitely not a boring profession.
I love when people get saved by the lifeguards and then come back to thank them for their life ❤

true heroes. keeping us alive while putting themselves in dangerous situation. keep up the great work!
Ive spent a lot of time in the water racing standup jetskiis on the West Coast and I dont think most people realize just how difficult it is to become a life guard at this level... No day is the same and the number of lives that these "Champs" change is staggering.. not just the ones that they take out of the water... MASSIVE Respect to each of them... and a huge THANK YOU!!!.. Well done!
These are all incredible but I love how seriously they took the sa situation. Wish that’s always how seriously its taken
you guys truly inspire me, thank you all so much for being a bright face for these people too wake up to. you guys are truly hero’s and no matter how much i think about it i could not imagine being in the position you guys are in. thank you for helping so many people. you guys are truly my hero’s.
Guys understand that for the rest of your life you can know that somebody is alive thanks to you. They get to spend another day with their loved ones. Well done
……it’s just gotta be crazy seeing yourself die. He seemed like a bright kid & he was grateful to the lifeguards for saving his life. I have so much respect for these Bondi Lifeguards. Such a demanding job and they do so well at it.
My first time watching this and watching the people tapping out, hearts stopping, bodies floating face down….my God I was in tears for these poor people. Thank you life guards for all you do. You are the equivalent to Ambulance paramedics and firefighters but so often under appreciated. God bless you all!!!!
Am i the only whos almost been on the brink of tears with their breath held.
Absolutely amazing work these lads do
I've said this before and i'll say it again, life guards are so underrated!!! Y'all are AMAZING!!!!!
These lifeguards are great humans! Bondi is so fortunate to have this team of such caring and responsible men and that they work so well together! Such a huge job!
Excellent work by the lifeguards who literally bring people back to life! I am amazed at their skill and their dedication.
When Ryan (cool name btw 😎) watched back the video of them bringing him back to life it was super jarring. He was all smiles but when they where carrying his lifeless body up the beach you could see his smile fade and he realized, “holy shit I’m dead here”. He even says “wow I was dead” or something like that and laughed it off. Super scary and serious!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
Everyone in Bondi Rescue are heroes
I know it's hard when someone does in your arms, but know that
If it weren't for you guys, there would be a lot more people not going home
I'm so sorry for Odbjørg and losing her husband, but thanks to you, she can live on with his memory
Rest In Peace Johnny 🌹
I cant imagine how people feel to see themself come back survival from almost death. Just hope people stay safe. That number 2 case really hit me when I hear the lifeguard said they got the "pulse". This is toughed. Thank you all the heroes who try to save life. Big respect from me 🙏
I witnessed an 84 year old walking his dog drop dead from a heart attack... dead as a door nail. I was with him for about 40 minutes! cpr the lot, got him back to life with the help of the ambos & had lunch with his family & kids on the 1 year anniversary of saving his life! Incredible feeling seeing someone back on their feet and enjoying family time. Also truly terrifying seeing how quick your life can end while out walking the dog
I don’t even live in Australia but the work these lifeguards do is incredible, quick response, well trained and very aware! Great work.
You should have done the video of the asian guy and his family were at the beach, and the life guards thought they saw someone go under but when they went to look, they couldn't find them. And then as the lifeguards were packing up a lady approached and said her husband was missing, and they found the guy several hours later dead
I remember that one, that was heartbreaking.
I can’t even think about that rescue without crying it’s so sad
By far one of the best shows Ive ever watched. Back in the days, I found season 3 by "accident" and since then I am sooo hooked.
This was so awesome. My husband died of a heart attack, but they weren’t able to save him. God bless the rescue team.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sorry for your loss!
The amount of respect I have for these absolute legends is insane, the most humble people out there ❤
Lifeguard borrowing a cricket bat for protection is the most Aussie thing ever!!!
Mad respect for the people who do this job I used to be a lifeguard at a pool but I can’t imagine doing that at a beach where the water has a mind of its own ive seen and experienced a lot of scary stuff in my life but this def takes the cake I don’t know if I could do it 😭😭
I have heaps of tears coming down so sad to watch Bondi rescue you work so hard to save you're the reason everyone is safe big thank you to Bondi rescue
More tears shed over this then ever before. Great work guys. You’re so appreciated 😊❤
Miracles. Fantastic training, unbelievable what they know. Always nice when people they’ve saved come back to thank them
Seeing people do compressions correctly always makes me genuinely happy.
Seeing the raw emotion on the lifeguards just shows how much they care u guys are lifesavers never forget that one or two deaths doesn’t make u any less of hero’s
I recently had a friend and his uncle who drowned in a fishing accident a few km from shore in the Atlantic. Hearing the man in #1 talk about how there was suddenly a comfort before realizing he was dying is strangely terrifying.
What amazes me is 1. That is an ocean w/water! 2. Oceans have strong waves and undertones. 3. People, who cannot swim, still go in the water. Amazing! Thank you for lifeguards!
I am also Korean and hopeful that you guys are here for us. Also one time I was drowning and I was saved by one person there.
Don’t ever feel bad for giving the family member that call. Most times the call comes when it’s to late. You’re giving family the time to be there with that loved one prior. Y’all are amazing!!
just a few hours ago, I was watching the first one with the same symptoms. this saved my life and I’m still in the hospital, but thank you❤.
Wow! Hope you're doing better now
Proof that angels walk amongst us, well done, you are all heroes.
I cannot begin to imagine the levels of PTSD you must have to deal with. You are warriors and heroes.❤
36:26 what a sad time even the lifeguards were very emotional 😢❤ 46:53 you can just tell how much these lifeguards and paramedics are trained we need more of these ppl in the world 😊❤🎉 congrats
Thank God for whoever invented these defibrillators! Great work from all of the first responders.
These lifeguards are the REAL heroes!! Such dedication and such physical stamina. I can barely imagine.
Paramedic 23 years. Y’all really do everything you can do with what you’ve got. Well done all y’all. Bless all of you. Stay safe.
That gentleman going to the tower to say thank you 😭😭😭 The person who fathered me unfortunately died of a heart attack at 48 . Both too young !
I’m so amazing at how many lives people save, so glad heart attacks don’t always take lives and 54 is very young to have one but he’s so lucky to have everyone. I lost my mother due to one at 34 and I know how scary it can be and deadly, you lot did amazing
(Don’t mind my spelling mistakes)
I can’t imagine what you all go through. What a scary and hard job. Well wishes to all who can do what we all can’t xoxo thank you
These paramedics and lifesavers are just heroes! They will say, it’s all-in a days work, but as a retired nurse myself, I still think these frontline people are unsung heroes and hats off to them! Thanks for what you do!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Nice to see how that man came to thank you!!❤️❤️👏👏
Thank you for the service you do your team is amazing and strong thank you 🙏🏻
WOW!...Bit of a tearful episode...You are going to need tissues...The aftermath visits were a bonus...Those life guards have it hard, trying to save people, left, right and center...Not a minute to grasp what's before them, till they had to go back in and do what they do best...A real wake up call for me...WELL DONE!...The public clapping was just so you all knew, WELL DONE!
