A young man nearly drowned while swimming at Northern Avenue Beach in Chicago. He became hypothermic and irrational and could not get out of the deep water because there are no safety ladders at the deep end of the promenade. It’s time for the city council to act! Lucky for him the life guards came to his rescue.

    i agree with both DiazLM and THE ONLY PILLO.. these guards are dumb F*CUKS… they wasn’t communicating and the ppl who know how to work at the beach are at indoor/outdoor pools…SHIT IS HITTING THE FAN !!!

    merick is a in idiot and all the other rescue boat lifeguards suck they look like they are drowning themselves. the first thing they teach you is to communicate with the other rescuers so they all know what to do and the victim to reasure his saftey. and dont look or act like your panicing cause when you panic the victim panics. this video makes all us Chicago lifeguards look like . these guys were just sloppy and to nervous to do things right.

    KUNFUSION MC go ahead and drown..pretty sure u wouldnt be missed or even cared about

  • cheesynessa says:

    To the retards at …
    To the retards at the bottom, he didn’t have hypothermia! that is misleading information! And that is the proper way to use a backboard for a victim who is unable to process whats going on and unable to maintain himself above water without support!!! And I’m sure they wouldn’t want to save you!!!!

  • theonlypillo says:

    Thats what you get …
    Thats what you get when they send dumb fuc*s to the beach and all the other lifeguards with experience to the indoor/outdoor pools.

  • Punkkid2193 says:

    you two people at the bottom are stupid, he didnt have a spinal first of all, and he did look pretty drunk… they did a good job excpet for merick, he looked ridiculous

  • CandiedHero says:

    the guy was wasted …
    the guy was wasted and they used the equipment they had available to drag him out. He wouldn’t have been able to get on the boat otherwise, why would he need to have his head strapped he didn’t have a spinal dumbass!! He should’ve had his back broken for being such a dumbass!!

  • mizpreciosa says:

    1. He didnt have hypothermia
    2. HE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WASTED it was ridiculous.
    3. There are no ladders therefore they have to put him on a backboard to pull him out.
    4. If you dont like it, tell the city to put some ladders there.

    wow, merick, u in idiot, u dont use a in backboard for a person who has hypothermia, you drag him into the boat and give him a towel… not put a backboard on wrong so his head is hanging off, wtf! If i were you, i wud shoot myself. Thank you (from andy)
