Wow... just wow ...
I am a property owner in Pompano Beach. Last march, there were a patch of riptide on the beach, a few hundreds feet from me ... About 6 people were just pulled away ... The lifegard from my post and neighboring post all went to help ... Our lifegard left us his walkie-talkie in case any help was needed while he was gone ... Needless to see, most people were out of the water during that event..
Maybe they should fire him as well.
The real problem is similar to the one in most american enviroement : fear of multi-million successfull lawsuit ...
