Bondi Rescue follows the work of the elite professional Lifeguards who patrol Australia’s busiest beach. This is Australia’s real life Baywatch! Taking the viewers on their journey through mass rescues, drownings, resuscitations, shark sightings, and all number of the weird and wonderful experiences Bondi Beach dishes up.
In #BondiRescue the audience sees the action through the eyes of real characters and #lifeguards like Hoppo, Deano, Reidy, Jesse, Maxi, Whippet and Harries, as they catch thieves, perform CPR, make drug busts, break up fights, and even handle a navy bomb that washes ashore one afternoon. Every year throws up new and completely unexpected challenges, and how lifeguards adapt is what makes Bondi Rescue a show that’s about much more than swimmers being saved in the surf.

Our condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. We thank the lifeguards for doing their best on a tough day. We hope we can use this as a moment to encourage everyone to learn more about beach and surf safety. Please read up here: www.waverley.nsw.gov.au/recreation/beaches_and_coast/beach_safety
At least yous tried your best and not all things go great.
Honestly you guys do enough because in my heart I know you guys put everything you got into saving people. Besides you guys are awesome people!
@Navion Johnson sounds like she made it but not the brother in law.
💔💔💔 condolences to the family 😭
At least you tried your best. You can just do what you can. I appreciate you because you guys work your asses off to save people you don’t know. You all are amazing people.
I was saved by a lifeguard once, and let me tell you those men are heroes. I remember my vision going black and thinking I am going to die. I heard a little voice that urged me to kick up and not give up. My hand brushed the bottom of the lifeguards flotation device, and then he pulled me above the water. There are no words to describe the relief and shock I felt in that moment. I knew I was going to live. The feeling is indescribable. I will be eternally grateful to lifeguards and the service they do. I wouldn’t be here without them. Thank you
I saw a lifeguard explode before my eyes

I couldn't imagine trying to save someone that is already dead or not breathing knowing that their family is relying on me to save them, so I really feel for you lads.
My dad tried to do that when he was about 25? I think he was camping in the lakes (UK) and there's mountains there he was watching his mate clime and he fell off dead on In packed head was crushed my dad still tried to save him he got a thank you card of the guys mum a few weeks later its horrible
@@cloudyskyz2581 oh im so sorry to hear about that.
Especially with them being right there… staring at you. They beat themselves up so much :(
ya 100000000%
It’s one of the worst feelings in this world
My father died in my arms. I had trained in CPR and knew the stats but still had to try for half an hour alone knowing he’d gone. CPR is so traumatic, you feel bones break and hope drain away but you keep going even though you know there’s no miracle coming. To undertake to do this by choice is a gifts these guys offer everyday. Real heroes x
I’m so sorry
I am so sorry for your loss.
I had no idea that CPR caused the bones to break. My condolences to you and your family, what a brave soul.
@@camilasuarez5775 The force you need to make the heart pump breaks ribs and his were like bird bones. CPR is simply a holding pattern for real help to arrive and more often than not it fails because it’s not effective enough. Even paramedics with the equipment they had couldn’t get a heart beat back and after half an hour with minimal oxygen his brain would have been severely affected. Legally though unless you’re a trained professional that can pronounce time of death you have to keep going. Just over a year before my son died by suicide and although we know he died on October 4th the official date is the sixth as he wasn’t found until then.
@@loveuloadsman Wow, I am terribly sorry for all that has happened to you. This is incredibly informative because I had no idea that the men in this video were actually feeling their bone's breaking. As you said, that must be extremely traumatic and again, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I also had no idea that that is how they pronounce death, I would have never guessed. I appreciate you explaining this to me :)
The fact that they were worried about Jethro says so much about them as people. They truly are amazing.

The fact that Singlets could get the lady in on his own and 6 people struggled to get the man in despite the fact they were near the same area just goes to show how unpredictable and potentially ferocious the strength of the ocean is
@@me-ju3fv im sure there's a reason for using boards instead of jetskis
@@me-ju3fv are you dumb?
It's shows that you can never expect anything too good without it Being bad
@@me-ju3fv jet skis would be too dangerous for the people around as the waves are so strong in this case there was a lot of people around
@@me-ju3fv jetskis take time to get into the water and they can’t just float around all day as they would be a huge danger to people
My dad went in the ocean to save his friend and they both ended up in trouble , he says he couldn’t believe how strong the lifeguard that saved both their lives was, he said he felt like he was watching a superhero. Thank you lifeguards and to that man that saved my dad , Thank you 🙏
glad your dad is alright! and indeed
Bondi is a disaster in its self a small bay of danger as well as gold coast more rips than a tent in a storm that's why we love our beaches in w.a.🥳🥳🥳
Though less intense, when I was five I was able to swim but I went into a large wave pool back when water parks were popular. I got swept to a point where my feet couldn’t touch and I totally went under. I got up to try to breathe and somehow the lifeguard saw me and booked it to turn off the waves that were stimulated then back to me. He must’ve done all of that within ten seconds, like WOW he had to RUN! I was starting to lose consciousness and I looked at that guy like he was my hero, literally light behind his head, shining, he was the most beautiful person I’d seen in that moment. I wish I knew who he was, I’d love to thank him now
If he had saved my life I would have wanted to thank him too. I'm glad you are okay
May you and your dad Have a good blessed life With an amazing Day!
I couldn't imagine how terrified the sister was: watching her own siblings lifeless bodies be resuscitated by lifeguards, condolences to their family. Just shows how much strength you need for this job, and you guys did your best to save em.
RIP.
yes rip
RIP
One was her sibling and the other was her brother-in-law.
RIP
i can’t imagine the sister’s survivors guilt. imagine being the only one who survived, even thought you were found at the same time.
I hate when they blame themselves for the man's death. They are all hero's they tried to save him for over half a hour giving CPR. You're all good people no matter what happens in the end. You should be proud of yourselves.
Yes but the thing it's hard too convince themselves that it wasn't the fault that he died bc what's going on in there head is "oh only if I saw him sooner or oh only if I paddled harder we could have saved him, why didn't I paddled harder or why" this and that it's hard being a first responder and not being able too save someone it fucks with your head and it sticks with you for awhile
@@rykusengi4051 Yeah it’s like having to put down a dog when they are sick, you wonder if you could’ve helped them sooner or if you could’ve done something different earlier in there life.
God. bless the life guards
They blame themselves , because it's in their blood to help people ..to protect people and keep them safe.
@@adorbsnari3708 a dog that was around for over 15 Years longer than me She stopped eating and got weak and we Had no option but to End her pain and put her Down i miss you so much nana
Follow-up to this incident: The woman showed up 3 days later to thank Singlets after there was doubt that she would be ok. She expressed her gratitude to Trent Falson for saving her life & not giving up on her (2017).
That is amazing. Im sorry you guys had to go through this. I am over here crying and i wasnt even there. I could only imagin how you guys felt.

Where did you find out that the lady showed up 3 days later to thank the guys
@@missflip6522 The Project interview with Falson "Toughest Day on the Beach":

@@service_dog_duke3272 They were on holiday from Norway. They were so grateful to the lifeguards.

These men and women have a huge amount of responsibilities as lifeguards.
I have had a healthy fear of the ocean after living on a barrier island on the northeast coast of the US. Several people drowned even though they were born there and were expert swimmers and surfers.
My heart goes out to the family of the man who did not survive and to everyone who worked so hard to save him. 💜
There’s more genders than just men and women. You should be more inclusive and not so bigoted. Be better next time
I remember watching this episode and the man who is helping Singlets and Kerrbox couldn’t speak English but he still came in and helped to the best of his ability. Just shows that people care and don’t want to see this happen
I felt the extraordinary pain here. Unfortunately, I lost my brother to drowning. It was so insanely devastating to me. I was just 8. He was 13. My big brother, me hero, me protector… was gone. He was swept under by an unknown and unexpected undercurrent. He didn’t have a chance. Took hours to find him with aircraft and divers. I felt like I was watching a horror movie unfold. The little town was flooded with media and rescue workers turned recovery workers. I miss my brother. I dream about what he would be like today. What he would be doing. Where he would be. How our family wouldn’t have shattered. The pain these people feel….its the harshest most empty feeling. The lifeguards were distraught trying to get my brother, I saw their pain and they saw mine. I didn’t cry hysterically. However, my tears flowed like a river. I sat alone on the beach. Chaos erupted around me. Somehow I remember so many things about that day and honestly, I wish I could forget. He was in the safe swim zone. They told all swimmers to get out of the water and closed the area because this wasn’t supposed to happen. I was broken that day. I may have healed. But theirs a place in my life, if you look… it’s a void.
I feel for this family and those close to them. I know exactly what it’s like. I was in that exact situation all be it just 8.
His name IS Charles. He was so smart. Loved tigers and fishing. Was well liked at school. He was the only sibling with blond hair. I’m a red head and most of my family is red head or brown. He was the only blond in the whole family. An infectious smile. Loved sports. Had this odd habit of chewing on his collar of his shirt or chewed other random things out of habit I suppose. I remember he chewed a hole into the door fabric of our car. He would look out the window as we drove along and just inexplicably would chew on the door ledge of the car as we went somewhere. He was tall. Strong. Physically fit. He was my hero. I wanted to be him when I was 8. He was my role model. Stood up for me. Always told me he loves me even though I’m just a pip-squeak and I’ll always be his kid brother.
Yeah. Long winded. My name is Lucas. My brothers name IS Charles.
UPDATE: I want to thank everyone for their comments. I didn’t expect a reply like what I have seen. I was just remembering my brother in the moment and shared my memory. It warms my heart. Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I feel your pain and your loss. I'm so sorry.. Your big brother lives on in your heart and your memories. Bless you ❤
Lucas, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother also but he was 15 and I was 14. He died in a car crash. I was devastated. I love my brother!! My protector. My life would be so different TODAY if he was here. I miss him so much. I'm praying you can find some peace.
❤️🙏🏼
I am so saddened by your loss. God bless and give you comfort and peace.
Holy shit I can't imagine how traumatising that must be I honestly hope they're all recovering well along with the families, lifeguards really deserve more recognition and respect
Lifeguards definitely deserve more recognition for the lives they save.
i agree i even started crying i dont even know the person but i do hope they recover
I agree, but your pfp
It was years ago, I'm sure they'll never forget, but they've had pleanty of time to process everything and move on
that pfp is unholy
It's always sad when lifeguards blame themself for not being able to save somebody, but they know that they tried and that's what matters sending prayers to the people who drowned familys
It's so heartbreaking seeing this. The man had a purple face... Even through the blurry you could see it. And still they did everything they could and tried.
Thank you for your work
Yah know, this show really changed my perspective of lifeguards. I always saw them as teenagers working a summer job, sitting around all day at the beach. This show really changes things. These people are our first line of rescue at the beach. They’re often highly medically trained. Trained in water rescue. I feel bad for undermining that for so long.
They really are. I feel like most of our perspectives of lifeguards are the high school kids we see lifeguarding at a pool or something. We don’t really realize true life guarding is 100x more difficult
You understand now how important and necessary they are & you’re spreading awareness which is all anybody can ask for really, try not to be too hard on yourself about it
Well, it's never too late to change and learn. Far from all beaches are as busy and dangerous as Bondi so it's a different job in that regard. Still, they are all guardians of lives. Glad we have them.
@@jericoba Even on my local beach I’ve seen life guards do things I never thought they’d even be trained to do. Small scale sector searches until coast guard arrived, directly aiding and working with coast guards, and performing dangerous rescues and rendering medical aid. They were the first line of aid for someone who had a cardiac event while on the beach, and someone else who was experiencing heat stroke. Then other aid..Somewhat advanced medical aid at that. So I can’t imagine what it’s truly like on Bondi. The things we don’t see, especially the things they just can’t put on my show. My heart goes out to these heroes. I’m sure they’ve seen some shit..
@@brie3679 They, all, do work wonders, don't they? Hat's off to everyone.
An exchange student going to my highschool was at a beach with his host family and saw someone drowning in a rip. He saved them but died in the process. It was so sad. I can't imagine how his family felt so far away getting the news. He died a hero.
Gosh….R.I.P angel. 🙏
They say never to attempt a rescue without training for that exact reason... Its human instinct for them to push you under to get themselves some air cause they are freaking out. You do it wether you realize it or not
“You either die a hero, or live to see yourself become a villain”
@@ems5637 woah..so wise-
@@antonella_L it’s so over used ik 😭✋
What word is more beautiful than the word lifeguard?
I'm so impressed and grateful for these heroic individuals.
I can’t imagine the grief the victim’s family went through. The lifeguards must have felt so guilty even though they weren’t at fault for anything. Rest in peace.
These are human beings doing this job everyday…seeing them cry because they couldn’t save one breaks my heart. I wish them the best life
You won't need to cry if you do better.
@@kellychamberlain6093 human has limits, that why we cry and sticks together.
@@kellychamberlain6093 that's a bit of a heartless comment isn't it
@@Jodotmartin Yes
They did there best but your right
This is exactly how I lost my father in Hawaii in 2004. He’d swum out to see some sea turtles, got cramp in his leg and panicked which brought on a catastrophic heart attack. Lifeguards tried for over an hour to get him back but sadly it was too late. My heart goes out to the whole team, god knows they did the best they could. Lifeguards are worth their weight in gold and deserve respect and gratitude. Sending love to all at Bondi Lifeguards, not all heroes wear capes 💙

I’m so sorry for your loss

I’m sorry to hear that. My deep condolences
Heroes. People fight to SAVE lives every day. We should remember that.
I can’t imagine how hard it is for Jethro having to stay and man the station to relay information and not be able to run and help. You guys are truly amazing people and absolute professionals.
Singlets is an absolute gladiator. Being able to pull that woman out of that situation, against such a powerful current, by himself using just his board and his skills is absolutely incredible. Really goes to show you how well these lifeguards are trained. Losing a patient is never easy, but being able to bring one back to life is always a blessing. Thank you Bondi Lifeguards for risking your lives every day in order to protect us.
100%! It took three guys to get the man back to shore and he did it alone. Heartbreaking ending but all you can do is your best and there is no doubt it’s what we watched in this video.
I have had to lift up dead weight in hospitals to resuscitate many times and it is quite a challenge on your own already in this environment, so for him to get her out of the water, in the ocean on a surfboard is a superhero act. Huge respect.
People underestimate just how difficult it is to lift a limp body. Even if you're strong and the person is much lighter than you, it's not easy.
yes, he is. But i cant help to wonder why surfers around them didnt try to help until quite late. I understand they didnt notice at the beginning but once they saw 3 lifeguards jumping in... at least help singlets put that woman on the board
@@vanessaruiz4705 Visibility might be not so great once you're in the water.
This one really gets me every time I watch it. Watching Jethro cry hurts my heart.
😭😭
I agree, it hurts a lot.
Me to it’s like I start to cry when someone else cries on my tablet
Watchin Hoppo feel helpless an cry an all the guys... Real men do cry an it makes the stronger an I am grateful for the lessons learned from watching this very show. I had to do CPR on my neighbor. He survived but if I had not decided to learn... He may not have survived... I calmed everyone down.... I commend these men an really this show!!! 🤙🏼💗
Watching this absolutely floors me. How could they be so successful with one and lose the other. Cory’s heartbreak was tangible. Seeing how this affected all the guys made me cry. They are the best group, highly trained and a tight group, a loss hurts all of them.
My friend nearly drowned when we were on holiday. There is no worse feeling than not been able to do anything but stand back and let the lifegaurds and paramedics do their work. Thankfully they were able to bring her back. I have nothing but respect for these people and what they do.
I was drowning at the lake, i was 9 yrs old, i remember rolling around under water because i couldn't breathe and then this stranger guy I've seen earlier in the day with his lady or friend came and lifted me up i will never forget i am 30 yrs old now
What is so scary about this is every other beach goer is totally oblivious to it. Drowning is often times so subtle you would never know. I actually went under at Bondi Beach for a split second and then resurfaced as I am a very good swimmer, I didn't go under willingly, I was pulled under by the surf, believe it or not the lifeguards at Bondi Beach noticed this and asked if I was ok to which I replied with a thumbs up then swam to shore. They really notice the tiniest detail of a person struggling in a beach full of hundreds of people. They are experts at this. It must have been half a second where I went under and then resurfaced! Their attention to detail is actually incredible! They are heroes.
I was caught out in a riptide in Cornwall once and I was struggling to fight it, i was swimming horizontally to try get out and started tiring out I went under briefly and was terrified, i was wanting to wave and shout for help but i couldn't even get enough air/energy to shout and surprisingly i was surround by people with boards right next to me and not a single person noticed. Luckily i just manged to get out the rip and swim back to shore. another minute and i would have probably gone under with nobody noticing till its too late.
its suprising how silent and quickly this can happen you'd think u could just scream for help or start splashing but in reality you are so drained its virtually impossible to do so.
My mum and I are good swimmers too but my mum ALWAYS warns me about the dangers of the ocean, thank god you were okay and bless you lifeguards for watching over you 💚
This might be a silly question but I never notice anyone wearing life jackets. Are life jackets not allowed on the beach or would it be helpful in preventing drowning from the waves?
@@krystalk6457 Life jackets make swimming extremely difficult so unless in an emergency situation they are a hinderance. would mean you get swept out easier.
@@ishmyboy, thank you. I know I'm not a good swimmer at all so I was wondering if a life jacket would make a difference.
Plus on the shows I noticed even kids who can't swim are not wearing any floatation devices, so I was genuinely curious if there was a reason to not wear a life jacket. I appreciate the reply.
I couldn’t even imagine some passing away in your hands while their family watches. So devastating.
My aniexty while family just hovered I wouldn't be able to complete the job with them hovering
@@savannahowens9079 when you're in a situation like these life guards, you wouldn't even notice anything because you'd be so focused on the patient and rescue efforts
It takes a really strong and brave person to do such a job.
Where was the family when she was drowning
It’s often best that loved ones are present during resuscitation efforts, especially if the person ends up being declared dead. It shows them that the rescuers were doing everything humanly possible to bring back their loved one rather than just giving up on him.
To all the boys and girls who do this for a living, thankyou for been there💓
As a former CPR instructor and lifeguard, I know how important to give CPR and the Bondi team showed how to do it correctly. So many times, when you see it in movies or re-enactments for TV, compressions are given far too slow and sometimes, too shallow to be effective. If you find yourself in a situation necessitating rescue of a victim, please call 911 or have someone call, so EMT's can be on the way to relieve you, and do NOT stop CPR until someone is there to take over for you. Giving correct CPR is tiring over time, so call, so someone can be on the way to relieve you!
My heart goes out to those who try to save someone and have to call it, it's sad for everyone and those Bondi lifeguards will question themselves, wondering if they should have done anything differently. Please don't beat yourselves up over the loss, guys, you did everything right and sometimes it just doesn't work out -- I know how it feels, same thing happens in the ER at times. We have worked over an hour after vital signs were lost, trying to revive a patient and it's difficult when you lose. But all you can do is your best and hope that it is soon enough.
My brother and dad got caught in a terrible riptide several years ago. My dad was a very good swimmer, he passed trying to save my brother, who was only 10 at the time. My brother did survive. The ocean is beautiful, it was his favorite place, but it is no joke. Much respect to these men and women, you guys are heroes. They did all they could.
I hope your brother knows it’s not their fault and does not hold any grudges against themselves. Even though it was several years ago, I hope you and your family are doing well and are safe. :)
I’m sorry for the loss 😞😔
I’m so sorry for your loss
Most people don't realize the strength of the ocean and those rip currents a lifeguard is a job I know I could never do and have so much respect for the individuals that risk their own lives daily to save the lives of others you literally feel like a rag doll in that ocean beating you up as you fight for breaths
These are real life hero’s thank you for what you do and to every one who saved lives your are hero’s
He didn't die 'at your hands' he was dead before you started CPR. Sometimes there is nothing we can do to save a patient, other than do our best. Fantastic effort team.
So the brother in law died or was it the two of them I can’t even watch my heart sunk to my stomach
@@leahbyrne3006 The woman made it, and even went back to thank the lifeguards for saving her. Brother-in-law died, paramedics called it after 30 minutes of CPR. Even if he did survive, he'd probably live in a coma for how long he went without oxygen, which isn't really a life. My mother went 12 minutes without oxygen, hospital resused her and she was in a coma and died two days later.
@@leahbyrne3006 The woman survived with a 0.01% chance. The brother in law did not make it. They stopped performing CPR after 30 minutes of no progress
ok let me fix it......... "the person died under their watch" there........fixed
@@robertoh.20 Really dude?
I’m proud of you boys for the ten thousand percent you put into trying to save the older gentleman’s life.
If you all couldn't bring him back, probably no one else could either. You are amazing humans who do your very best every day and for every situation. We believe and trust in you.
I'm sitting here, crying, for a man who died several years ago, who I didn't even know. It's horrible and tragic what happened, but I know that the lifeguards did everything they could. It was a miracle that the lady survived. Sadly, sometimes, no matter what you do, you can't save someone. 😭

It takes a special person to run towards a bad situation to help others in a life threatening situation.
The fact that they’re crying (and me too, obviously), makes you certain they were born for this job! Bondi Rescue, you’re absolutely awesome and save many more lives you can possibly imagine.
Why you too obviously? It’s not obvious that you would be crying, I think only people with a higher than average amount of empathy would cry from this so I wouldn’t expect someone to be crying.
@@rachelcookie321 umm..I cried too
@@rachelcookie321 it’s pretty sad to watch this, I think a lot of people would cry about this, I think it’s pretty unusual to not cry about this.
"Sometimes we do our best and it's not good enough." You guys do everything that you can and honestly it breaks my heart every single time you guys experience situations that are like this
Totally agree. They did everything possible to give both victims the best possible chance.
I do think they need to cut themselves some slack, though. Having been to Bondi, the signs warning people not to swim by the rips are not subtle. The reality is that, if you choose to ignore them (particularly as someone who is not proficient in the water), the rips can be fatal. That's why the signs are there.
As sad as situations like this are, people do need to take responsibility for their own actions and swim between the flags. The lifeguards are there as a safety net. It's not fair on them to break the rules and then expect them to get you out before you face the consequences. That's an awful position to put anyone in.
Whilst the family have my condolences, they didn't lose one relative (& almost lose another) because the lifeguards "best wasn't good enough". These things happened because those relatives chose to enter a dangerous section of water without the necessary experience and skills to get themselves safely back out.
@@georgina-a I also think that they should not be as hard on themselves as they are and honestly I can relate to the lifeguards because of cheer like I try my best and the coaches don't think it's enough
@@Jenna-gm7zq You can only do your best - & your best *IS* good enough. Sometimes people will push you to try harder, or go stronger and further in an effort to get the very best out of you - they don't always mean it negatively. If they still give you positive feedback, constructive criticism, and help you find ways to get better, then they have your best interests at heart. If they just shout and get angry, despite you putting everything you have into it, then that's negativity you don't need.
I'm a doctor and the difficult thing for the lifeguards, much like it is for my team at work, is that what we do is much bigger than just us - it has very real consequences for the people in our care and that has a psychological impact that's difficult to understand unless you've been there. It's one thing to lose a trophy, but having to live with the idea that someone has died and you might have been able to save them? That's the most gut-wrenching feeling imaginable, and the heaviest burden to carry. It's why many leave medicine, the emergency services & why many popular figures have left Bondi Rescue - because the pressure on your mental health can become too much to handle.
If you ever feel like your coaches are putting you under too much pressure, remember that (in the grand scheme of things) it's not a life or death situation like the emergency services deal with on a daily basis - it's a sport and it's supposed to be fun. If it starts to feel more than that, then it's probably worth talking to your coaches. I would hope that, if they realise the effect they're having on you, they'll change their strategy. Good luck 🍀
@@georgina-a It's not just me that has been treated like this it's the entire team but yeah the coaches still give positive feedback
@@Jenna-gm7zq They're probably just trying to push you to get the best out of you. But, if you and your team mates find their approach too much, then talk to them. If they have your best interests at heart then they'll listen.
Sadly, the emergency services, medical staff, and the military have to regularly deal with gut-wrenching situations like that in the video. One way we deal with this is to debrief - we talk things through with someone we can trust (a family member, friend, or a colleague when it's a more sensitive situation). It helps a lot and is a great skill to learn. It might help you, too, with your cheer issue and, if you learn it now, if you're ever faced with a scenario like that in the video (God forbid), then you'll be better prepared to deal with it.
Wishing you luck 🍀
These lifeguards are TRUE HEROES. They were able to bring this woman back to life. They did everything in their power to save her husband but were unsuccessful. I couldnt imagine seeing my sister unconscious and not being able to do a damn thing about it. Worse would be to see my brother in law in the same dire straits, not able to recover. Prayers for this widow and her husbands family who were just on vacation from Norway🙏🏻
19 years as a lifeguard & mind blown by 2 unresponsive people. Amazing
I almost died on the beach when I was a little kid. Out of nowhere I started to get violently sucked further away from shore despite my effort to swim back. I was already dead tired and a really weak child. I could barely let out a cry for help at this point and the few adults that heard me didnt help me even though they easily could have. I didnt have the energy to stay afloat and started drowning. I was about to disappear in the deep and harsh waters when a lifeguard pulled me out of the water out of nowhere. That lifeguard is my hero. I wish I could thank him again all these years later.
this reminds me of when i was depressed, i tried drowning myself and i slowly started losing consciousness until a man came holding his 3 yr old son in his hands stopping me. I was kinda shocked cause a second later the man told me i am loved more than anything else in this world,
And if he is reading this, i truly thank you, for saving my life 😭❤️
I hope you're feeling better now, really there are other people who will love and care for you no matter what
Dang i have depression but i never thought of killing myself
This is so cute omfg 😭

seeing those surfers try to save those people really warms my heart. i’m glad there are people who don’t just stare, instead they put their lives before others.
She came back to the tower a few weeks later to thank the men. It was a Norwegian couple, the woman who survived was incredibly kind and appreciative.
Thank you for the follow up info. I knew she survived but was wondering if she was going to be “ok” after being gone so long.

I’m from Norway, where these persons were from, and this accident shocked the nation. Watching someone from your own country die on international television was devastating. My condolences, preyers and love goes to the family. Still it’s heartwarming to see the amazing work the lifeguards did, they really did all they could do to save them!
I am so sorry! Healing prayers for your country.
Im also from Norway but my dad is from Australia and i know hos hars the ocean there can be
This was just heartbreaking 💔
In the archived Bondi Rescue episodes on the NRK website, this part of the ep is completely gone. I don't know if the full episode ever aired but I do think it's likely been cut out of respect for the family.
@@ElviraTran I’ve seen this episode on NRK3, but that is some years ago. I can’t find it anywhere but RUclips now. Maybe they’ve removed it like you say, I understand and respect the family’s decision if they wished that.

working as a pool lifeguard you guys rlly show how important your job is. thanks for pushing me to be better
💪💪
The fact that it's very rare to lose someone is a testament to the skill and dedication you all possess, you all are the BEST!!
Not in any morbid way at all but I like how you show how quickly and drastically things can go south and not just show all the happy endings. Major respect to all the lifeguards, surfers and paramedics involved to help those people
Its not just the TV shows decision, its the families who allow them to broadcast the death of their family members to show people what can happen.
me too, its less sugar coating to a traumatic situation.
This video hits home to hard for me. 2019 I had a teenager die in my arms whilst performing CPR in front of his whole family. There is no worse feeling than that moment when you have no choice left but to call it. 45minutes of CPR, shot after shot of adrenaline, more shocks than I can count all for nothing. Having to turn around and look at the family to tell them there's nothing more anyone can do is by far the worst experience of my entire life to date. I don't know why i subjected myself to this video...
So sorry for you to have to do that. It must feel absolutely terrible
Sometimes you can do every. single. thing. right and still end up with the worst possible outcome. Those situations can make you question absolutely everything. That kid, and his family, know that you did everything you could and they know that no matter how many patients you treat, you grieve with them.
I did compression-only CPR on a man last year for 17.5 mins before EMS got there to declare him dead. I knew. I knew from the bloody foam coming out of his mouth and nose he was gone but once you start, you can’t stop and I kept going until EMS got there and took over the scene. I had to drive past the spot where he died every day for a year before I moved away and every time I drove past it, I had flashbacks and wondered what I could do that would’ve had a different outcome, despite being assured there was nothing else I could’ve done.
How sad😔why did he have cardiac arrest? Overdose?
Angels try where others fear to tread. I lost a friend and his nephew to drowning. Thank you for trying.
The lifeguards are amazing people, they saved one person and my condolences to the family of that man.
I went swimming at Bondi Beach in 1990.
Never went far in the water, never saw anyone taking chances an swimming out of their depth.
Since then, tragedy after tragedy.
Kudos to all who helped save peoples lives over there...
This always makes me cry. I’m a pool lifeguard and I had to resuscitate a little boy last summer. It truly was the scariest moment of my life. He survived and I’m so grateful for my team. Thank you all for the wonderful work you do Bondi Lifeguards!!
You are a hero!
@@abbie5257 that is so kind but I am not a hero 😅 I was just doing my job. I’m just glad he’s okay.
I’m a pool lifeguard aswell. I’ve had to jump in to rescue kids some were close calls but nothing to the extent of having to do CPR. Your attitude is a reminder of how good you are at your job. You are very selfless and it shows as you thanked your team and showed true compassion for the little boy. You are a hero! Much love from a fellow lifeguard❤️
@Gianna Magrino Sweetheart, it takes a hero to do the job you do. Bless you.
Nice job!
I was actually at the beach once and this kind of thing happen. I was in the water and saw a guy get into some trouble, however the lifeguards were further back on the beach and didn’t see it happening. My dad was with me and saw this happen (he used to be a lifeguard). My dad swam out to help him and when he got to hime he had no floatation device to help him hold the guy above the water. When my dad got to the guy, the guy passed out. My dad then held him above water whilst being smashed by waves for 5 minutes with no floatation device (mind you my dad is like 45). When the lifeguards eventually got to them they brought the patient in and started cpr because he had no pulse. After 30 minutes of compressions eventually they got a weak pulse and he went to hospital. I stood and watched the whole thing and I’ve never felt so useless. Unfortunately the patient ended up dying later in hospital because his brain wouldn’t function properly anymore. It was truly tragic and I warn everyone to stay safe around the ocean.
Just a reminder though, you should never try and save someone unless you know that you are a very strong swimmer. In this moment I considered following my dad to also help but I decided not to and I’m so glad I did. The victim and my dad ended up being like over 100m off the shoreline. If I had gone I would have caused my dad to focus on making sure I was ok and it would have been a lot worse. If you ever see something like this happen the best thing you can do is go tell lifeguards.
@@shedshed6317 you know, you would make a good lifeguard
@@crafty1620 ahah thanks I’m thinking about it
@@shedshed6317 yeah haha
I hope you and your dad realise your hero's
Don’t feel ashamed of yourself I could never imagine saving a person by myself like that’s you are a true hero I’ve been to Bondi beach many times knowing the dangers and how many people have died, been injured or unconscious you guys are absolute legends
Thanks to all Lifeguards like you, who are there to help. May God be with you🙏🏻! It was an honor as I too, am grateful for being a Lifeguard for 3 years in Alabama, during my youth at YMCA summer camp.
When they had the man's face blurred out, I knew this wasn't going end well for him.. how tragic :( You guys did an outstanding job! Please don't ever blame yourselves when things like this happen. The "dead body weigh" is no joke and you guys had to deal with it, while being hammered by the waves! Again, job well done!

This is hard to watch but oh so important. The physical strength and mental resilience of the lifeguards is beyond incredible. We must also give thanks to the bereaved family for allowing this footage to be shared in the hope it help educate others. Wishing rest for the deceased and peace for the families involved.
I had the same thought. They shared their nightmare, most likely to help others.
I feel so bad for the life guards. Imagine KNOWING that someone has died under your watch/care. It just hurts. Lifeguards have such a hard job and I have so much respect for them.
Not all heros where capes, but you guys are definitely heros.
The fact that the lifeguards are crying means they really care ! They are amazing
Its their job to save lives in the water 💧
I know the terrible feeling of someone dying despite your best efforts. A while back I had to preform CPR on an older lady in the middle of the night and she did not make it. I did everything I could but in some cases doing everything you can (and going beyond that) is just not enough to achieve a happy ending. It's a harsh reality that takes some time to sink in and the whole event will always be ''a part'' of you. But a memory like this will always sting no matter how many time passes.
Everyone in this clip did everything they could and there was simply nothing more that they could do. It's someting people always say and you will hear it a 100 times, but the most important part is that you also believe those words. You guys did an amazing job ♥
The strength and determination of these lifeguards is comparible to the grit Navy SEALs have. I couldn't be more impressed.
Tough job. My Mom was a RN her entire life. I could always tell when she lost a patient, or watched a death. It takes a special kind of person to do this kind of work. And keep going back for more...
Your mom is a rock star! It takes a strong person to be able to do these life saving jobs.💝
@@caitnewbold1676 She truly was. Thanks for the comment...

@@lozza821 Thank you for your comment...
My mom has also been a RN her whole life and I always knew she will have a small space in her heart for the patients she lost, she’s seen and has gone through so many things that I would never dare. Bless your mom, she has such a strong heart.
I’m a strong swimmer, I grew up on the coast with my uncle being a surfer he taught me a lot about ripcurrents sand banks and such. With that knowledge as much as I love the ocean and feel an infinity for it, in the back of my mind it still and rightfully does scare the living shit out of me. No matter how confident you are in the water, once you’re in it you’re at its mercy and you never know what’s going to happen. To anyone going to the water weather it be the ocean, a lake, river whatever it is be careful; take someone with you, tell someone where you’re going because you never know when you might need help.
Load of respect for any and all lifeguard volunteer or professional
Lakes and oceans scare me so much
Lakes is freshwater which is hard to swim in and that won’t keep you afloat
Oceans is saltwater which will sorta keep you afloat but if you just go out a little to far and you can’t swim too well u are completely fcked
I’m not a strong swimmer at all
I can swim in swimming pools like a fish
But in a ocean I don’t dare past where I can’t touch the bottom and lakes u can’t see how deep it is so I wouldn’t go near till I have a lifejacket on
I was in tears...getting goosebumps and even praying watching this video...these guys are so brave and did their best at this rescue...sometimes we loose one...god knows you tried all you could. Stay strong and keep up the great work you do.
I'm so gratefull that there are lifeguards that are helping and keeping people safe if there werent lifeguards it wouldve been bad
seeing her say “she’s my sister” broke me. i could not imagine watching my sister’s lifeless body knowing i couldnt do anything but watch & pray. i hope these men know that everyone sees they tried their best. i pray they can come to peace with the outcome.
You guys saved me from the sea. Thanks to you lifeguards, I became an ED nurse to save other people's life. I truly appreciate that you guys gave me chances to save life!

You guys hold your heads high!! You did everything and more in the most extreme circumstances imaginable with little regard for your own safety. That makes you heroes. I’ve been involved with pre-hospital care for over 25 years, mostly coastal, and I’ve seen few positive outcomes in similar circumstances. The fact you got a return of spontaneous circulation on a person in apparent flat-line for so long illustrates how well you were doing CPR. May the nightmares ease for you and the patient recovers to live the full life that was so cruley taken from the guy and so nearly taken from her. God bless you all. ❤️

I have never seen a lifeguard operation this sophisticated in the states. Their work is very impressive and clearly very vital to the community.
America is slacking in beach rescue techniques. The stuff we do still works but Australian is way more familiar with surfing and paddle boards for obvious reasons.
It is literally the most populous beach with an extremely high tourist rate. Bondi has massively strong upwelling and currents along with sharks. They need to employ a lot of lifeguards. This isn't your average beach. And as a previous EMT from the states I hate to say it but they let fear get to them and it stunted the performance. The compressions were awful. They were slacking and form was bad, supposed to lock the elbows. They kept taking breaks from compressions. You NEVER do that
I don’t think the first bit of the statement is true. But yes to everything else.
@@Johnny-bj4sv correct !
Most beaches dont have this many rips
Bondi Rescue have inspired me to do my NPLQ. I am one session into my course and I loved every moment of today. Being a lifeguard is such a physically demanding job and it takes mental and physical strength. I love the lads at Bondi and I want to thank them for inspiring me to do my lifeguard course and I hope one day to save people as much as the lads down at Bondi do
Well done 👏 for doing the course. Be blessed by your dedication and physically hard work.
Heroes all. Such a shame they cannot save everyone. My heart goes out to them and the family of the deceased.
Firefighter for 10 years. Literally countless attempts with CPR. I've never seen someone get a pulse after that long with no shocks.
Statistically there is supposed to be a 0.01% chance of getting a pulse at that point. So it was not impossible, just improbable. But miracles do happen! My uncle was clinically dead for six minutes. Luckily he was in a hospital hallway, but hospital staff saw him right away and brought him back. He was fine after the recovery.
"Sometimes we do our best and it's not good enough" 😢💔... they help so many people everyday. It's clear they truly care my heart breaks for them when they experience situations like this
Seeing how upset the team are is the number one reason why people who ignore the signs and do as they please wind me up no end. Every person who does that and says "but I'm only risking myself" should be made to watch this video. They're not just risking themselves, they're risking the lifeguards physical and mental health. The team weren't responsible for two grown adults choosing to swim in a rip, but they're the ones living with that decision, and beating themselves up over what they could have done differently. They're crying because they're good people - they don't deserve this kind of mental torture, especially when it was preventable.
Their best *was* good enough. They can't be expected to take responsibility for reversing the stupid decisions of others.
The people who complained when H used to give beach-goers a b0llocking when they ignored the signs should watch this video. *This* was why he was shouting because *this* was what he was desperately trying to avoid.
The signs and rules are there for a reason.
Reminds me of like 2 years ago when I was at the beach with my grandma and haveing fun and stuff until a runner got a heart attack and sadly didn’t make it. My heart goes out to his family❤ fly high🕊❤️
This was hard to watch, but I'm thankful for such caring professionals who were there to help. The lifeguards take their job very seriously and were obviously very affected by the tragedies. Thank you to each of them.
This episode resonates deeply, I rescued an unconcious surfer who was hit in the head by another surfer. There were at least 100 people around and no one came to help me. Dead weight I couldn't get her on the board had to swim her on her back holding her head til I could stand. Finally a man came to help me. She survived and was released the same day. Five years later still can't believe no one came to help.
I'm a professional lifeguard from Canada and I have nothing but respect for surf lifeguards around the world. Knowing how difficult this job can be in a controlled, man made water environment, and having swam at Bondi myself, I can't imagine working somewhere completely at the mercy of nature as Bondi is and being responsible for the lives of people in such an unforgiving place. We can't save them all, sometimes our best isn't good enough. Lifeguards at Bondi are some of the best in the world, if they couldn't save that man then there was nothing anyone could have done better. My sincerest condolences to the family for their loss, and to the lifeguards for being put in an impossible situation.
Professional life guard in Canada?? Idk why but two things come to mind. When you say canadian life gaurd you are either a hockey ref or a ski instructor 😂😂
@@hockeyguy2005 lol, actual water. When you live somewhere that makes outdoor recreation difficult half the year, big indoor pools and waterparks become really popular.
God bless you lifeguards, you do such a necessary job and are successful most of the time. I know that fact doesn’t ease the pain of this event but you have saved many lives. Again, God bless you all.
So heartbreaking, not just for the life that was lost, but for the rescuers as well. To know you tried your hardest, but still weren't able to save someone, it takes a toll on you. Even 10 minutes doing CPR can be a grueling task, and to know some of this rescuers keep at for 30, 40 minutes just for the slight chance to bring that person back, is amazing and deserves major respect. Thank you for giving your all every single time.
Thy d to such
I can’t even imagine how devastating this experience must have been for everyone involved. My condolences to the family and loved ones of the victims. The lifeguards evidently did their absolute best. I’m a lifeguard in Canada but I can’t even imagine dealing with this situation.

Sometimes things go wrong, even though swimming may be beneficial for your survival in deep waters you're not always guaranteed complete safety, it's still important to learn how to swim though, it lessens your chances of drowning. It's just that things don't always grant you 100% safety
I'm beyond impressed by their strength and bravery. I can only imagine how hard this job in general is, let alone how emotionally hard. You can see how much definition they have on their lats from how strong of swimmers they are and seeing them have trouble bringing someone says a lot about how powerful nature is too. Much respect
Lifeguards and the family are in my prayers. I don’t even think some people realize how many times I have watched this video. Seeing the hard working lifeguards cry make me so upset.

I'm a lifeguard. They're both likely dead. Just because there's a pulse doesn't mean she survived. Brain damage occurs 4-6 minutes after breathing has stopped.
