I don't think that I wrote anywhere that this was news "hot from the press".
That it happened in 2013 doesn't change anything in the whole happening, I thought that it was interesting enough to see.
As with everything else if you don't want to see it, just don't look at it.

Oh but it was hot off the press it was posted on CWDF about 12hrs before you posted it here well go and read about it on there then.

Its all a bit old it happened in 2013! Not even new I don't think that I wrote anywhere that this was news "hot from the press".

I thought it was interesting to see again. It certainly, brings back memories of my CCBM training where it was pointed out that in a man overboard situation there could be many people tripping over themselves trying to help. However, that many people in the water on inland waterways is, I believe, an exception.

This video has certainly given some debate about what to do, or not to do in a situation like this, I'm sure that the boats that participated in the rescue did it to help, that they didn't do it right is still better than not doing anything at all.
If they'll ever be faced with a similar situation, they may have learned something here and do it better, and for all that watched the video it may have been a lesson too.

One angle is this - it's the first time it's been shown on Thunderboat. And has engaged interest.
Do you have any videos of Kennedy getting shot?

To be honest, I had not taken any interest in it until I saw it posted here.

However, that many people in the water on inland waterways is, I believe, an exception. In some ways I'm glad this video has been put on here (and CWF) if it means more people will 'invest' in a ladder. Many years ago my brother fell in behind his boat in County lock on the K&A. He's quite a big bloke and I couldn't pull him out due to the weight of him and his soaked cloths. I had to use the 'universal help language' to get a nearby East European friend to help. In the end we both managed to pull him out by his belt (another tip if they have a belt ). A ladder would have helped a lot and could have prevented a drowning if the other chap wasn't there to help. The ladder needs to be one which extends down into the water so you can get a foot onto the first rung. Even if someone falls in 4ft of canal, it would be difficult to lift them onto the boat. When I fell in a few years back, I was quite surprised how difficult it is to pull yourself up when your cloths are soaked.

when i was young we had to swim in the swimming pool with clothes on...ive never forgot how weighted down i felt and how difficult it was to get out using the steps...and that was in a controlled situation without added impact of panic....ladders are so necessary for boats..

Always swim or wade to the bank, even if its a bit deep to drag yourself out, at least it offers a better hand hold than the sheer lines of a boat

When I fell in a few years back, I was quite surprised how difficult it is to pull yourself up when your cloths are soaked. I used to be a volunteer helmsman on a narrowboat for disadvantaged children. Talking to other helmsmen we decided we were not happy with some of the advice given for dealing with a person in the water. One of the things we changed was to rescue from land, if possible. We also adapted a bunk bed ladder so it could be used as a rescue ladder. We found that most people did not know how to use a life ring properly and that a long shaft is a great aid for helping someone to the bank and to stand upright.

I still don't know what the original video was about - why did the yellow boat sink?
