That's my uncle that saved his life hi Uncle Tom I know ur looking down on us
Your uncle passed away? Sad.
Nah' he is my dad.
Definitely..... definitely.....
Whats the cause of death?
What happened who cares
Kelly and Scott apparently stayed together after this, eventually married and are still together living in South Carolina today.
That’s nice to hear
What happened to his sister?
Well if she hadn't have grabbed him, he would have drowned. First you perserve their life, then you consider the injuries. She did nothing wrong!!
Exactly!
She didn't know he had a neck injury when she first grabbed him. She already had him in that position when he told her his neck hurt, so she opted not to move him any further.
Strangely enough being in the pool helped her support his neck straight to his spine despite him being so much heavier than she was. He could just quietly float until help came.
I'm just in disbelief that he dived into an above-ground pool. I thought it was common knowledge that they aren't deep enough to dive into.
Yeah their definitely not deep enough. I don't understand why there was a diving board there any way. This should be illegal. That 1 of the most stupid things people could do. If he had been alone in there he would of died thank God there were people there to save him. I hope he,ll know not to jump or dive into shall water anyone out there. I'm sure he learned his lesson and the pool owner too.
You would think so wouldn't you?
How true that is! That wuz a no-brainer!
this was one of the best shows that ever aired on television along with unsolved mysteries. I wish
these shows were still being shown.
Unsolved mysteries has a channel on Pluto tv and runs on roku channel.
Me too+
Me too 😊
Ditto me
I always thought both those shows were the best!!! I’m 40 and remember when they came out… whole family would be in front of the tv… I miss those special days….
Kelly saved him that day..It's great to see him survive this injury..
I love watching rescue 911 back in the days such a touching story I hope they stayed together got married and had a family they make a nice couple.....
Shut up cheater
I hope they did to.
They did.
This theme song and unsolved mysteries both made my heart rate go up and anxiety at 7 yrs old lol
That's good, I'm glad.
I really miss these shows, like Rescue 911 and the original lifetime Unsolved Mysteries! Wish we could bring them back!!!
GonzoeKb24 you can watch them on TH-cam buttplugger
I heard Rescue 911 is coming back in 2020 with William Shatner as host!
@@KathrynCeleste51 I tried watching Unsolved Mysteries on FilmRise, but the ads kind of ruined it for me. I can forgive ads on free streaming if they occur where the commercial breaks are supposed to be, but ads randomly popping up in the middle of the segments makes it almost unwatchable.
allgood2000, The original Unsolved Mysteries is also on TubiTv, that’s a totally free tv and movie site, it’s also got a kids section too.... Lots of great kids shows and movies.....
i became an emt about a year ago. its so interesting watching these episodes now that im older and after learning what i learned as opposed to when i was a kid.
He is lucky to even be alive yet alone able to walk, b/c after that it could have been much worse
The water he floats in saved his life
What do you mean?
greenville is huge...the biggest county in SC I think. And that medic, Bill Marcley, was my EMT instructor who has been in the area forever (obviously) and he's the man...still teaching
I was in a car accident in 2002 and had to be taken to the hospital. My friend flipped her car when I was riding with her, and they put us both in the same ambulance. There were one or two paramedics up front, and there were two in the back with us.
A dive is when you jump into the water head-first. A cannonball is when you jump in a "balled up" position, with your knees against your chest and your arms around your knees, and you land butt-first or on your back. Based on the re-enactment, it looks like he tried to do a flip and assume the cannonball position in midair, but he messed up and hit the water head-first because he didn't flip all the way over.
This cannonball challenge felt like a tiktok challenge before the tiktok challenge. If there’s anything this show teaches you it’s not dive into an above ground pool. That’s why we built a pool that had a deep end. My neck hurts just from watching it. I’m glad the kid is okay.
That's a good neurosurgeon! And Kelly is such a sweetheart. 💜
OMG I haven't seen Rescue 911 in SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG! I LOVED watching this show as a kid!
AFVfan1 me too
It’s been 28 years since this happened so Scott is 46 and Kelly is 44. When I saw what happened to him, I was afraid and I thought he would die or be completely paralyzed for life. If it wasn’t for Kristen and Kelly, he probably wouldn’t have survived. I’m sure Scott can never thank Kelly and Kristen enough for what they did for him. Never dive into shallow water because it’s dangerous.
You're right, it's very dangerous to dive in a shallow pool. My mom always told me that you could break your neck and end up paralyzed for the rest of your life. My mom was on the swim team as a kid and was a lifeguard briefly at her local pool. She said being a lifeguard is one of the most stressful jobs she has ever worked.
I bet Scott took Kelly and Kristen to a very nice dinner to say thank you
The paramedics did an impressive job in this episode, getting him out of the pool.
im so glad ur feeling better and u saved his life
I didn't move when hit by a car last year for the same reason. I knew I could be paralyzed if already an injured. I wasn't and it was worth risking not seeing what the bone looked like out of my leg. I learned the fact at CPR training and glad this episode can teach it too.
A joyous ending to a scary event!! Wonderful to see the delightful children playing in the gym!!!
Those 80's /early 90's girl's hairdos are something else.
I miss them
We didn't know what the hell we were doing lol. Still recovering from the 80s I think.
They are a lot better than these troll doll hair cuts today. Shaved and long purple, green,blue and orange.
Lol, totally
Antonio Ferrer good times 😁😎👍
What a beautiful person this young lady is.
Great comment, I'm a fellow lifeguard as well and you're bang on. Unless you have a spine board on hand and proper training, the only reason to remove the vic from the water is if he goes unconscious or stops breathing. Then dry and CPR is needed.
There are about 670 total stories and 185 episodes. It was cancelled in 1996 due to a decline in the ratings. They used to show it in syndication a lot in the late 90's and early 2000's. I'm not sure why they don't show it anymore.
allgood2000 i think hippa law did part end the show
I heard they plan to bring it back, can't blame them, we need it back
I loved it
It would be cool to know if they're together today.
Found them on Facebook. They are still together
Or today
@@katiechiatovich8821 I'm happy to hear that!!
@@katiechiatovich8821 oh wonderful am glad they are there cute together and support each other.
I guess in a situation where you save someone's life - how do you just leave them after that. If I had a boyfriend save my life, I don't know if I could ever leave him, I'd be forever in their debt.
Today’s the 30th anniversary of when this happened so Scott is 48, Krista is 49, and Kelly is 46 now. This happened on a Sunday. I was 8 1/2 but I was two months shy of my ninth birthday when this happened and I was living in Arizona. Boy, it was pretty hot there, but it was dry and in the desert and my brother Andrew was 6 1/2. When I saw Scott’s head hit the bottom of the pool, I was scared because I thought he may have injured or broke something. If Scott had been home alone when this happened, he probably would’ve drowned. I’m sure Scott will always hold a place for Krista and Kelly in his heart.
A cannonball dive on that size of pool with shallow ground can be dangerous into a living hell and that shit could've been prevented if that young boy Scott used a normal jump instead
"Life can be taken away from you in a snap", and for that dude, almost quite literally.
one of top 4 causes of paralisis is diving into shallow water
Yet the 'It won't happen to me' mentality prevails. Worked for a Quadriplegic whose injury was the result of diving into a wave at the Ocean,, per his story. It's THAT easy!
Machine Gun Nest which was why I got chewed out as a kid for jumping off a railing into a pool at my aunts house.
More stuff!! Dave Allgood, you are officialy a guru in my book!! This segments moral is never dive into a shallow pool!!
i really liked the way the 911 dispatcher pronounced "pool" !! cool accent
wow, I remember watching this episode sooo long ago. Thanks for uploading these. Man, memories.
So happy he is ok!
Never dive head first Kelly a hero
I can relate to the last bit about not knowing when you’ll need to use your knowledge to help in a medical emergency. Over the years I’ve watched a few videos on what to do if someone faints, and I have taken emergency preparedness courses that covered how to treat an unconscious patient, but I never thought I’d have to put my knowledge to practice (tbh I always thought I would be the one to be treated for fainting, because low blood pressure and anxiety run in my family!) But last year, during a midterm, I heard something that sounded like a stack of books falling on the floor. I thought that was strange because the desks in that room were too small for keeping books for another class, and we didn’t have a textbook for our class anyway. But I decided not to worry about it until I heard someone say “Oh my God!” in a panicked voice. I turned around and I saw one of my classmates lying sideways on the floor. While someone rushed to get the professor, without thinking twice I immediately got up and went over to him, and my training kicked in. I told other students to get him flat on his back and help me lift his legs up onto his chair, because I knew this would help restore blood flow to his brain. Within two or three seconds of doing that he regained consciousness. He mumbled something like, “Oh, please don’t worry about me. Go back to your tests.” We all adamantly refused and stayed with him until public safety came to get him. Apparently he had not eaten or had anything to drink that morning-not a good idea when you’re going into a high-stress situation like an exam (although I can definitely understand not having an appetite)! He recovered just fine and I still managed to finish my test on time, so it all worked out. :)
The paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks even on rescue 911your show rocks keep them safe out there job well done you should be amazed and proud love you guys thanks ! Joe
Smart girl making the other kids leave him in the pool so professionals could move him.
This isn't pretty to experience, because heatwaves are serious things to conquer these days, because you don't know how tricky it is to keep yourself and other folks around you as cool as possible.
When it's painted " No diving," it means just that, there's a reason why,the water isn't deep enough. In a backyard pool you should know not to dive into it They aren't deep enough. The water has to be at least 8 ft or more deep.
This should be renamed "Diving Accident"
+kubotaman85 Yea cuz he didn't get hurt doing a cannonball...
+kubotaman85... no theres a reason
@@rollingstopp Did he get hurt doing a cannon ball? NO! he got hurt by diving into a shallow pool
Thanks for all the Rescue 911 Episodes
That’s why I don’t dive in shallow water.
I started watching this show as a kid and I have noticed that. Most of the Texas calls are from North Texas, within an hour of my house. This show is no doubt the reason I got into the emergency service.
A girl who calls 911 when her diabetic dad passes out.
I watched rescue 911 back in the 80’s and 90’s

allgood2000 .
allgood2000 thanks
do you know if Scott and Kelly are still together?
When i saw this title i said to myself, ''Well this should be interesting''.
Something like this happened to my neighbors son he was out on the ocean with his wife and friends they were messing around having a good time and when he jumped off the back of the boat he ended up hitting as rock and broke his neck he is paralyzed now neck down but doing ok and lots of physical therapy
Thank goodness for Kelly!
With a Southern accent "pool" sounds like "pooh" lol.
my cousin died of a motorcycle crash last year, its a terrible terrible feeling, the fear of losing someone is just as bad
I can’t stop watching this show....
I have them on tape, and I captured them to my computer.
Well, for those wondering... I did some digging. They're still together!
In the poo? No ma'am. He hurt himself in the POOL. We weren't playing with 'poo'.
We know they said "POOL", but the way they say it makes it sound funnier than it is. We just like the way Southern Americans say the word "Pool".
they can't help their accent
They don't and shouldn't have to. I just happen to like their accents and how they say certain things the way they do. As the Beach Boys mention in "California Girls"; "The Southern girls and how they talk, they knock me out when I'm down there."
HCWCAWLEAGUE u must mean pool
HCWCAWLEAGUE She said pool you immature person.
you can do dives into a 3.5 foot pool safely- just gotta know how to do it
Exactly!
trashguy679 or be safe and don’t do it.
trashguy679 that doesn't mean you should.
Personally, in that particular independent, I disagree.
i cant think of a more horrible death than drowning in a small pool next to my friends not being able to do anything
I really! Feel like it's a miracle that this young man survived this swimming pool accident❤
I really wish that they would bring this show back on
This should be a lesson always be careful diving into a pool like that
He was a victim, with his mobility and life subject to other ppls decisions!! Thank God every one involved acted correctly. The man escaped a certain tragedy. Praise God!!!!
I'm glad that dude was able to walk again.
Im an EMT, been to this hospital many times, its the biggest one local here, and good for traumas, cardiac care, and strokes. It has a pediatric unit, cath lab, neurology, and a very nice rehabilitation center in far end of hospital. Bad thing is i live in Laurens South Carolina, and Greenville memorial hospital is 45mins to an hour away, depending on traffic. So unless its major we go to closer facilities. Kickler is well known around here, he's missed by many.
Thank god the girl knew exactly what to do and not do in this situation and took charge until help arrived.
Thom Kickler - a hell of a paramedic and a good friend...RIP
Awwww. he died?
To bad they didn't croak
Oh no! What happened to Thom?
That was more of a dive vs a cannon ball, but even doing cannon balls in such shallow water is dangerous.
Yes, they were recorded from TV back in the 90's.
This is why you don’t dive in shallow water pools, you can be permanently injured, just what the signs say when you buy a pool
A lot of them are like that, but are also quite few 'middle of nowhere' segments as well. A few examples:
Episode 111-"Double Electrocution"
Episode 126-Lost at sea
Episode 209-"911 Alligator Alley"
Episode 315-Everglades Rescue
Episode 407-"Idaho Trooper Down"
Episode 422-"911 Accidental Gunshot"
Episode 602-"New Zealand Shark Attack"
Episode 622-Jeep in pond
Also, the three states with the most Rescue 911 segments were California, Texas, and Florida.
he didn't CANNON BALL in, He dived. if CANNON BALLED then he would of jumped and curled up with his arms around his legs.
GO BILL!!! best instructor ever
"theres not really words you cud say for stuff like that"..HOW ABOUT "MARRY ME"..?? o_0
😮 god bless him . Glad he survived
She is becoming a nurse
Greenville SC?! I lived there from 1990-1998!
TheAlwone111 I live there
Why the heck did he do a cannonball into water that shallow?
Whoever put a diving board into a pool that shallow should be sued for everything they have.
Vicki Bee he didn't do a cannonball he did a dive head first into a shallow pool. If he did a cannonball he would of been fine. He's going butt/feet first and he may have hit the bottom with his butt or something but the worse case scenario is a broken toe or something. But because he went head first the force/weight made him hit the bottom and the force of him hitting the bottom head first made him break his neck. That's why u should NEVER dive in head first into a shallow end. Only dive in head first in a deep end. Because if u hit ur head on the bottom you have a 95% chance of being paralyzed from the neck down.
Peer pressure
Back then it wasn't considered the pool's problem if you didn't know not to dive/cannonball off the end into shallow water. They expected you to know not to do that or didn't have the rules in place. Especially a private pool like this one.
It wasn't until the later 90's that they started realizing how much of a hazard it was to even cannonball off the shallow end of a pool. They really started hammering it home how dangerous it was and what would happen if you even tried it in the mid to late 90's. I remember 60 minutes did a huge thing about it, my relatives had a shallow pool (which I think was about 7 feet deep at the most) and never thought twice about the father. (who was over six feet tall) using the diving board with his son as long as he didn't do a regular dive.
I know on camping trips kids would jump off bridges and cliffs to the water below and just checked to see if there were no rocks/sticks in the water below and it was semi deep. One kid ended up as a vegetable doing so, sadly enough in my class though he never went camping on the trips I went on.
It was designed for cannon balls not diving. You can't blame someone for another's actions.
It was part of the deck not a diving board
thanks so much for uploading this is a great piece of nostalgia and i love happy endings thanks again
That was scary! I nearly broke out in a cold sweat when I saw his head hit the bottom of the pool.
This goofball silliness killed my high school boyfriend many years ago. I still haven’t been able to process that all these years later. Im grateful this was not the fate that awaited this young couple
I tacked the outro onto a few my uploads. Try "Chimney Trapped Crook", "Rock Climber", "911 Choking Granny", and Boston animal docu. You can see the full closing credits on the 100 Lives Saved closing.
That girl's dad is diabetic and he passes out while getting in the truck to take her to school
So many of these prove things that people need to be taught, including kids and most adults. Starting from learning to call 911. To the Heimlich maneuver and doing CPR and what instances not to move somebody.
@gregersen80015 this is not an inflatable pool. its just a shallow pool. its one of those pools that you can buy from pool companies and there are pools like this that have deep ends so you can dive, cannonball, etc. this pool is only about 4 ft deep.
@death
when firetruck is dispatch usually ambulance go together with them...same here in korea if we need emergency assistance i mean medical assistance we call the firestation department...for crime etc we call the police department...besides firemen are well trained on medical issues..hope that help
C-spine! Who's got C spine?
Thats how my Tech teacher talks hahahahaha
There are still plenty of shows that do re-enactments, albeit much more crappy ones than these.
this is a very sad episode!😦😲
Samantha Dupuis it is sad it breaks my heart every time I see people getting injured or very ill
Same
in a panic though people may not know to do that. She also my not have had any training. At least she didin't take him out of the pool. And also remember that this IS a reenactment
That's "Look Both Ways" from Episode 618. Someone uploaded it as "Rescue 911: Girl vs. Chevy Corsica"
/watch?v=dZh9MgZm0wE
now you see what showing off can do.....
30 seconds? With what? Warp drive or hyperspace. I live in New York and it would still be 10 minutes at least.
Every one needs a kelly in their life. A beautiful guardian angel.
did you not listen to video???? they clearly said DON'T get him out of the pool. if they were to do as you described he would be paralyzed. because first off lets not forget the fact that these are teenagers and they have no clue how to or even how critically important it is to stabilize the head. second they did not have a backboard, now grant they could use a sheet of wood or something but it would have to be able to be placed under him in the water so he could then be lifted out.
This is one lucky kid. Never ever dive into shallow water. Great outcome.
I think Chevy57l meant that the kid who said "get him out of the pool" needs to take Logic 101.
damn i miss the 90s
I share the feeling with ya! Me too😥
Nope, but even if I did, I was only in kindergarten, so I couldn't have been held accountable.
