Seems like anything can happen down at Bondi. Lifeguards have to be prepared for anything and always ready to act! (Check out some of their best rescues here - ruclips.net/p/PL0Xa58krD0jXcnNCuNWTGCOQEw0jRgNx4)
Thanks a lot for all the help you give to people in and out of the water, even though that's not your responsibility. If you weren't there, I don't know what could have happened to these guys and all the people that don't swim between the flags and that stuff. Thank you.
Can we just give another clap for the amazing Life guards who sometimes don’t really know what to do but always put a hand up to help safe someone’s life
Izzy S Hi I have a massive fear of the dentist I have Evan had therapy fore it it’s not worked Iv got to go dentist on Tuesday I’m sooooo scared and worried so thx fore this video becase my mum and dad told me I got to go and just found this video thx fore helping me definitely will be thinking of all u do and how brave u all are thx hope u all are safe and well to🏄♀️🏄♂️💙
The woman in the first clip helping that young man after his seizure is so sweet. Most people who come out of a seizure can be tired, confused, and scared. Keeping them calm and comforted can help them through the moment.
I loved, too, that she kept quiet to the lifeguards and the TV crew about being on Big Brother. There was no attention-grabbing from her, no "look at me" - she was just focused on looking after the young lad and using her experience of her Mum's seizures to help him. Class act.
Yeah I totally agree. I have epilepsy and sometimes after having seizures with stranger surrounding you and not know what is going on can make me panic. Sometimes I have panic attacks when I wake up. The people of bondi are amazing.
@Stephanie Blair i'm so sorry that happened to you ☹️ but thank god you survived! I want you to know that You're life is worth living & You truly are a warrior! ❤️ Please Keep your head up and try to keep a positive mindset. It's going to be ok 💕
That Pete guy was a true warrior “Back to war” When he first came to the tower I thought maybe he had communication issues but once he came around I realised his medical condition even just strips him of the simple ability to speak etc, glad he went to the tower for help and the genuine look of concern in the lifeguards face was humbling.
its scary my dad had a low blood suger episode we didnt know it we were looking at a house and was doing paperwork and he was just stareing at the paper work and we tried to get his attetion it was like the lights were on but noone was home he kept repeating “im ok “ over and over took his blood suger and it was 30 which is really low for him everyone was rushin trying to get sweets in him to raise his suger thank heavens the relatitor was also diabetic or we would not have known how low it was.
Yeah when I'm having an episode it sounds like I'm drunk af, slurring words and barely able to stand. It would be terrible to have one at the beach, so hot and hard to walk in the sand!
Speaking is actually one of the "higher" functions of the brain, meaning it's one of the first things to fail when someone falls ill. I.e. diabetics, drunks, brain bleeds: all of them get slurred speech. Sometimes someone has an active stroke, but another person might think they're drunk. That's why you ALWAYS double check.
Ten year paramedic here. Those lifeguards are doing everything right for what they're able to do. Keeping their patients calm, getting them into a recovery position when needed, calling for more advanced help quickly. They're doing a great job setting up the patients for when the paramedics arrive. Seizures can be intimidating, especially if one is not prepared for them or had a lot of experience responding to them but there were able to handle things well in these clips. Good onya mates.
😂 I had a 5 minute one my mom said she is ok umm no not if it's 5 minute one that means life flight because u can die anytime me dangerously low sodium and potassium 3 bags of 0.9% sodium chloride 1 of those liquid flavored packets of potassium 🤮 I didn't eat I'm barely eating and still taking the seizure meds and my seizure med takes a lot of sodium out of me so if I didn't eat since 6pm like I did yesterday to right now huh ya I would need life flight if I don't die first I have to take 1,000mg keppra/levetiracatem and 600mg trileptal/oxcarbazepine i refuse taking oxcarbazepine alone because then i have auras barely eat have rapid heart beat anxiety ans it feels like im peeing and falling back during it especially the long auras now before surgery I couldn't tell anyone I was going into it I would moan say yes over and over mumble smack kick or hit u after I came out I even kicked my baby girl who saved me during the 5 minute seizure she was whining then I was making noises then I pulled on my Medtronic insulin cord dad is CERTIFIED correction officer for 11 years now.
if i ever got hit on the head and someone asks me what day it is, i wouldnt be able to answer, not because i wouldnt know, but simply because i never check.
hearing “your with the life Guards” after Marina accident is just as comforting as hearing “ don’t worry, i’m a doctor” after you have been in a motor cycle crash. there is nothing that sounds better
Omg imagine being the one having to save a person’s life from death. Like there lives depend on it. You guys are awesome for helping these people in need. They could have chosen a different job, but they chose to help people, and I think that is really inspiring.
It's honestly hard not to, you open your eyes and people or a person is looking at you with this concerned look and all you can feel is guilt, especially if it's a loved one. I've sobbed a lot after my post state because my girlfriend looked so scared and its like, "I did this..." Even though I obviously dont mean to, plus stress is a large trigger and it's hard not to be constantly afraid you'll just fall out. You just like wake up but your eyes are already open and you become aware of someone talking to you and you're just thinking you were asleep or something but your body feels like crap.
I remember the first time I had a seizure was at my friends’ house and my friend was so scared she even started crying which ig is understandable but my point is that it’s usually more scary for the person seeing the seizure than the one experiencing it because you can’t really do anything to help you just have to wait
As an epileptic, it’s terrifying waking up after a seizure because your mind is groggy and everything hurts and you can’t recognise what happened or where you are, so I think that the life guards handled these cases really well. If I were one of these patients I’d feel as if I were in good hands.
We're her small faints considered seizures ? Fortunately she seemed quite lucid and aware afterwards. I don't know what the trigger was to cause 3 in such a short amount of time.
@@Josh.WDW. yes! There are many types of seizures (I am also an epileptic) over the last 2 years I had seizures like her about 5 times a day every day some days you pop right back up and others it takes awhile. It affects everyone differently
That last girl really needed to go to the hospital. While I'm sure she's thoroughly sick of them, I wish she had gone. Having 3 fits in the space of an hour is NOT "doing okay."
A lot of people with epilepsy can feel embarrassed when that have a seizure in public and feel too tired and confused to make proper decisions. At least she had family there who seemed worried but not too concerned. They might have been aware of why she was fitting and didn’t see a reason to go to the hospital because it was an easy fix. Literally anything can be a trigger for a seizure and they may have known what her specific triggers were.
People can have very strange behavior right before a seizure. Most likely he was bound to have a seizure once he started slurring his words and shaking but the sugar he had helped him recover faster.
My niece and her mom (family friends but family) are both epileptic and they both get incredibly embarrassed after a seizure. It doesn’t bother me anymore when they have a seizure because I know what to do and how to handle it, but it used to bother me that she felt so horribly about herself after having a seizure. It’s not something they can control so it was a big deal for her to feel so shitty about herself.
@@erinfarrell7954 its nothing to be embarressed about you have a condition that you can not control no need to be embarrased about something that is out of your control
i have epilepsy and that lady comforting the young man who had just had a seizure made me emotional. i can only think of a couple people who have actually helped me before, during, and after a seizure- most people either don’t know what to do or they have the wrong information and do way more harm than good. the way the lady reacted was so compassionate and understanding- it’s really important to know basic first aid!
@@mauia88 it can happen in so many ways. Im a severe epileptic and when people dont understand whats happening, they can sometimes think its a drug issue or something like that. My worst experience was having a seizure while I was taking a walk and I seized on a bitumen road, I ended up covered in grazes and cuts but the people in the area that it happened thought I was having some kind of overdose or drug reaction. Epilepsy can be very confusing.
I was in year 5 and somebody has a seizure in front of me and they banged their head on my desk my whole class was shoked but all the teachers rushed us out of the room so nobody could help exept the teachers
@@haydentattoo4226 Yep, epileptic here too. I think my craziest post seizure experience was walking down Oxford Street in Sydney about 11pm on a Saturday night. I was trying desperately to get to St Vincents Hospital ER which was a mile/1.6km away from my home. Ended up vomiting in a rubbish bin on the way. So there I was, girl in her mid 20's, not dressed for clubbing in a major party area, but swaying, slurring my speech and vomiting. Everyone thought I was either drunk or on drugs and, as I'd bitten my tongue pretty badly, I was lisping which made speech even more difficult. Tried to explain to people I'd had a seizure, even to bouncers at hotels (one of whom told me to F%$# off), not one person helped me. I had a second seizure at the hospital after I got there. Cracked skull, major concussion. Luckily it didn't happen while I was still on the way there.
The thing that got me most of all was the look of compassion and concern on the lifeguard's face when he was helping Pete. His genuine concern for a fellow human being was beautiful to behold.
As an American I was worried about them calling the ambulance cause like what if the man can’t afford it and then I remembered this is in Australia and getting medical help won’t financially ruin your life. What a dream.
@@shadowflare2838 about 10 years ago a classmate needed an ambulance at school and he said it cost him about 3k and our school was about a 10 minute WALK from the hospital
Being an epileptic myself I am SO GLAD to see how calm the lifeguards handled it. Especially the first one with the lady helping the teenage boy. That just made me happy since I'm only 14 so I know how scary that must have been for him to wake up and not know what's going on.
When I taught at uni one of my students had a seizure (his first one- no history). One of the girls at his table grew up with a friend with epilepsy. Her experience and help was invaluable.
Last year in class we were about to have lunch and one of the year fives had a seizure so the entire class was rushed out of the room with their lunches but someone forgot theirs and went back upstairs to get it when the paramedics were putting them on the stretcher it just sounded really embarrassing
@@Cassxowary thank you for your correction, it was quite late at night when I wrote that, as a consequence to my night owl behaviour I incorrectly wrote the king’s last name wrong. My bad.
My mum once had a seizure in my own home and I was so scared and my dad was panicking and my brother was screaming, one of the most scariest moments of my life
I onow how u feel. I was in tears hugging my teddy and comforting my sibling when we saw our older brother having a seizure in our house. We have never seen someone have a siezure before
@@yoitspeyton7908 it is scary especially w hen your 11 and have neber watches someone have a seizure before. I was just able to cry, comfort my sister and brother and hope for the best. It was really scary
I feel so bad for the older man who doesn’t like people already and woke up surrounded by people... And for the lifeguard who knew he was gonna freak out you are such a sweetheart and thank you for going above and beyond to meet and remember people 😭🥺
I felt so bad when Harries and Jesse had to deal with all of that. Especially because they always see that man, and they saw him in pain, and he was yelling which makes it harder for the lifeguards. He was sweating so bad, I genuinely felt bad.🥺🥺
The man shouting & resisting wasn’t aware he was doing so, which is what the lifeguards found so difficult, because it was out of character for him, along with the fact they were trying to help & he was so utterly distressed
I keep on thinking "don't call a ambulance just drive them to the hospital." Then I remember it's not american and a ambulance ride doesn't cost 8,000 dollars
@@elasticyeti2642 Much more a weird American society fact, for they have no health insurance fund system, while other lands don't even think about because they have ...
I had to be transferred hospitals once, it was a 1 hour drive. They told me the day before I could have someone come pick me up. As soon as my dad got off work they told me I had to be transported by ambulance, I was just thinking about how much that 1 hour drive was going to cost me. I didn't even bother checking my account. US medical system can be shitty at times
My mother is an epileptic, Grand Mal seizures. She has said right before the seizure she may feel some discomfort, blurred vision and other symptoms like that, but the seizure itself is complete blackout, or at least she doesn't remember it at all happening. Don't know if it's the same for everyone, but I can imagine a lot of people have the same experience.
The few seizures that I've had weren't painful or uncomfortable because you don't feel anything or even remember the moment you had a seizure. However if you hit something like a rock or in my case a table you'll start feeling it once you come around.
One of my best seizures was on Thanksgiving at my buddies house , right after we sat down to eat. My forehead went through the jellied cranberries and smashed the edge of my plate into the table. My buddy and his dad grabbed me from both sides and held me till it was over. Mashed potatoes and gravy hit the ceiling , stuffing all over his auntie , turkey on his mom. Cleared the house. Lost bladder control. lost my drivers license for years. Good times.
I have epilepsy and mine can be pretty scary. The worst part at least for me is the memory loss and not knowing whats going on. That vulnerability is difficult.
Having epilepsy is so stressful and it's even worse having seizures around people who have no idea how to take care of you during an episode. I love that these lifeguards are aware and able to safely help people. I wish more people knew what to do in these cases.
Somebody in my class once had a seizure in year 5 and I sat in front of them they banged their head on my desk and I was shoked as they just fell to the ground we were all rushed outside by teachers and there was a lot of tears we didn’t rlly know what was going on but later I figured it out now I’m in year 8
I have epilepsy as well and after coming out of a seizure, it's nice to see a friendly or familiar face. It's terrifying waking up and not knowing what happened, so they did a great job keeping the patients calm and reassured that everything is okay. ❤
I think this show is so captivating and touching because it features several men who genuinely seem to care about the well-being of others. Women see and experience so much abuse and mistreatment and disrespect that watching the Bondi lifeguards becomes comforting. It's like a show about how to be in healthy masculine energy.
I can 100 percent assure you that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He did the ultimate act of love for mankind in being crucified, being buried, and rising again on the third day. God made Jesus to be sin for us, though Jesus knew no sin. Through Jesus we can be saved, he bore our sins on the cross.
the fact that this man with the episode walked in there just begging for water at first, speechless, and then came back up and let his personality shine through after all that and i could see him smile, made me so happy im so proud of that man!
My friend has epilepsy and once he had a seizure in my kitchen and he has a scar across his head from hitting his head on our kitchen table. My dog also has epilepsy.
I've been epileptic for 22 years now. It's no joke. The confusion, the memory lose, the guilt. All I've put my family thru. I get how Angelica feels. I've done my share of apologizing. Good job Bondi!!
Im 11 and Once i watched my 22 yr old brother have an epeleptic fit for the first time. Me and my family were left in tears, i was petrified of what was gonna happen. I was just able to hope for the best. He was ok in the end and we are all happy now.
@@BondiRescue yh. I have never seen my brother have a fit and i have known him all my life and i was scared something bad would happen. Me and my mum were scared to death so she called an ambo and i got my neighbour even tho she couldn't do anything. Luckily my dad has seen someone have a fit so he knew the best thing he could do to not hurt anyone
My older brother works at a hospital and he helps with people who are having seizures, he says it's always terrifying watching someone have a seizure on the floor. He says he just stands there and watches and checks their pulse! So seeing lifeguards help it's crazy! :)
I worked in a daycare where a child seized pretty often. Weekly at least, it’s so freaky. We would just make sure his head was comfortable and he didn’t choke on his tongue. It’s sad 😭😭😭
My aunt grew up with epilepsy since she was like 12 and she still has them all the time (she knows how to manage them now) but it is scary watching her have one because all you can do is watch and make sure she doesn't fall over
That's sad. In grade 12, our english teacher was standing up, next thing, she had a seizure, fell back and hit her head on the well and then the floor (i wasnt there that day luckily) there was apparently blood everywhere 😣 she didnt come to school the next day but when she came back, she had a big bump on her head and a burst blood vessel in her eye. She wasnt acting normal for a few days after that. It's really horrible that some people suffer from epilepsy
As someone who suffers from epilepsy, I know how dangerous it can be to have seizures while being outside. We're lucky to have the Bondi lifeguards. And Reidy is so caring and comforting!
Your rescues have me riveted to my IPAD. You amaze me as to how fast you can paddle out to the patient to rescue them. I did not know that I should raise my hand while in the water if I am in trouble. Although I don’t think I will ever be swimming in the ocean again because I am 80 years old. I want to thank you for everything you all do. Gail Leach, Rosarito Beach, Baja California, Mexico
As someone who is epileptic the lifeguards did an awesome job with the way they handled the situation. Here’s to them, And all the lifeguards that save so many lives in so many situations it isn’t all about just rescuing people in the water. They do the full load. Their incredible.
I only have partial seizures myself, but being in such a state where you can't speak, you aren't really present is both scary and surreal. I've had multiple through my life since I was a child, but having been around people who have full on seizures, pass out, pass urine etc it's not nice to see at all.
These guys are amazing. Their job as lifeguards is not an easy one. They act quickly to every emergency and do an amazing job. People on the beach are so lucky and blessed to have them watching over them.
It's sad when they feel the need to apologize for something that's not their fault or in their control. Like Angelica I just want to hug them all and give a big thank you to the Lifeguards.
My dog growing up had seizures. It was heartbreaking for us and I can only imagine how he felt each time. All we could do was get him to lie down and just stay with him until he came to.
My dog also has seizures, and it’s so sad. He has terrible anxiety disorder because of them, and I can only think of how scared he must be when it happens because he doesn’t know what’s happening. He hasn’t had one for a few months, though, so I’m glad.
My family’s chocolate lab would have Grand Mal seizures and was on medication nearly his entire life but was still a very active dog and passed away at 14 which is old for any dog but amazing considering the circumstances. Two of my best friends are also epileptic and have different triggers but also very different types of seizures but thankfully don’t have to deal with anything as intense as a Grand Mal.
One of my dogs is epileptic. He always runs to me when he feels a seizure coming on. I grab a blanket, wrap him up, and hold him tight until it's over. One of the most heartbreaking things to see is a dog having a seizure. I work in a vet clinic, and I've seen several, it never gets easier.
i feel so bad for everyone especially the old man with epilepsy because i don’t have it but whenever he was shaking and couldn’t talk i understand whenever i’m sick i shake and after i throw up i shake and i cry and can’t control anything and i cry even more i can’t imagine have a seizure
A boy in my class had a seizure, he turned blue and we had to call the ambulance and make sure he could breath 😬 one of the scariest experiences of my life
How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough? Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
I have seizures, like full grand mal where I shake on the floor, but if I take my medicine regularly, and eat and sleep regularly I’m fine. When I feel a seizure coming on first I feel panic and confusion so I often try to find someone cuz I’m scared. Then I feel my head being pulled the the right and my body starts to follow, like I can’t control my head and eyes, then I just go into a full seizure. When I wake up it takes me about 15 minutes to understand what’s going on again and I repeat questions a lot. I understand the girl who didn’t want to go to hospital tho cuz once I literally fell down stairs while having a seizure (I ended up with HORRIBLE black eyes I couldn’t see, and bad head trauma) and my mom took me to the ER. I was very reluctant firstly cuz I was still out of it, secondly cuz I thought “I’ve had seizures before. I’m okay”. I went to the hospital and had two more grand mal seizures while there. They put in an IV and when I started having my seizure would administer a calming drug. Scary for sure but hopefully this helps someone.
@eclipse_stay my seizures are pretty much the same as urs except my eyes and head turn to the left and then my body follows. I've never met someone hows seizures are so close to mine
Isla Dungey Omg I’ve never seen someone with seizures like mine either! Idk if it’s the same for you, but I am not triggered by anything and they don’t know why I have seizures. I’ve also gone over a year before without a seizure so they don’t happen often. That’s really comforting tho that someone experiences something like me🥺
Mine is pretty much the same the only thing that triggers mine is stress or if I havent had enough sleep then the sun can (as I have 2 different types). They dont know why I have mine either and they can never catch them on scans (but they know its Epilepsy) is urs the same? Mine can happen either regularly or I can go for a while without having one. I have been seizure free for almost 4 years now though thanks to medication. And I agree it's nice to know there is someone out there like me (I have a friend who has epilepsy but she experiences it a bit differently). I would love to be able to talk to u more about this
@@l.p.864 yeah I can generally feel when mine are about to happen as well the same as your mum can. I hope your mum is doing well currently and I know it can be traumatic to see as well (as I have been on both sides of the coin) but know that just having someone there for us when we come out if the seizures to help us through is a great thing and your mum must be happy to have you by her side.
As someone with epilepsy, it is terrifying when you are on the cusp of a seizure and can barely communicate to someone when you’re about to drop. Bless that guy.
I have a son who is now 10 years old and he's epileptic. The first time he had a seizure he was 6 months old and we rushed him to the hospital while he was in the hospital he had seven more seizures and then was flown to Riley hospital and while in the helicopter he had another seizure so the first time we ever seen him have a seizure he had a total of eight at six months old that day and he has had them ever since and still deals with them to this day. It was the most terrifying thing I had ever seen and they still scare me but I have trained my other children on what to do in case the situation happens. This lifeguards are amazing men and women keep up the amazing life-saving work that you guys do it is because of you and what you do that people are still here and get to continue on again thank you you guys are heroes in blue!!
As an epileptic myself I'm very happy with the way these lifeguards dealt with each situation. I felt like the girl in the end denied medical care because she most likely felt embarrassed especially with the cameras everywhere, but this is a matter of ur health and u can't put it at risk. I used to get made fun of regarding my epilepsy and still do to some degree but never let it get to me. Keep up the great work guys
i get seizures a lot, (more frequently when I was younger) and they're scary, for me as well sometimes. my advice if you see someone seizing/fitting, you should try and stay calm,put something soft under their head so they don't slam it into the ground (I've done this, it hurts a lot) and make sure that if they throw up, you empty their mouth so they can't choke on it. you can turn a person onto their side to do this - don't put anything into their mouths. and don't worry about them swallowing their tongue - it's physically impossible to do so
Solid advice!!! I have seen many seizures, and there really isn’t much you can do other than make sure the person doesn’t hit their head, and make sure their airway remains clear... Otherwise you just have to leave them alone...
Just turn them to the side though. Trying to clear their airways while they're having a seizure is a super bad idea. They bite *hard* . I had people shoving spoon and stuffs inside my mouth it almost broke my teeth.
@@blue.johnstone.z there is this myth that epileptics will swallow their tongue and die if you don't shove something in their mouth to keep it in place (wallet, spoon, pen,...). Given how little people are taught about seizured this remains a big problem.
My son is epileptic and he always apologizes after he’s had a seizure, hearing that lady say sorry made me cry, it’s not like she planned, it’s not her fault. If you see someone seizing, make sure they have space and there is nothing around they can get hurt on, then get them into the recovery position making sure they’re breathing. Seizures are no joke and it takes hours, sometimes days to come round from them. I’m glad Bondi’s lifeguards take seizures seriously, they seem like a great group of people!
You have to give so much respect to these lifeguards. They do this everyday and have saved so many life’s! Also, the diabetic man was so cool and is very strong, the way he said “back to war” was just so emotionally connecting to me. Thank you Bondi lifesavers!!

@@Decaying_Storybook the proof is in the numbers. Stop living in fear and look at the real world. Red states that are not locked down are doing much better than those states that are still in lock down.
My sister has severe epilepsy. As someone with seizure handling experience, the way they handled the seizures was very good for the situations they were put in. Edit: one of the best pieces of advice I can give is to calmly talk to someone while they’re having a seizure. I can’t speak for others but from my own experience, they sometimes can hear what you’re saying so when you talk to them calmly it can make getting out of that seizure ( which can be stressful and disorienting) much less scary and confusing.
@@idontknowwhattohaveasaname1947 she has epilepsy like I said so it happens often. She is ok. I just like to give a little advice when I can because it’s a very good thing to know how to deal with
Hey I have a question! If someone has a seizure and gets out of it, do one still call the ambulance? Is it safe to leave the person alone after the seizure passed?
@@minmiga it really depends on the person and the type of seizure. If it is a bit grand mal seizure, or a person who doesn’t normally have seizures, you should still call the ambulance. If it is someone that has a seizure condition, they may have a plan they follow post seizure. So it does really depend on the person and the situation. Thank you for asking!
@@evanarnold9771 Ah i understand :) thank you for responding! That's really good to know if i ever have to help someone in that kind of situation. Thank you a lot:)
A guy at my work had a seizure last year. I knew how to react from my mom having epilepsy, but it was still scary. He had a recent stroke history, so we called paramedics right away to be safe. He bit his lip quite badly and was bleeding quite a bit. His son was absolutely panicking, thinking his dad was going to die. All I had to do was wait for help and try to soothe him and his child, but it was a very tense few minutes. I was really grateful that one of my coworkers used to be a CNA and she was a big help. And of course the paramedics were absolute heroes 🙏
Bondi life guards waking up in the morning: "Ah, hot day today...someone's gonna fit or something, everyone be on your toes." "Ah, beautiful weather. People are gonna underestimate the rip today, everyone keep a look out." "Ah, a foggy one today. Waves gonna knock someone silly, everyone stay alert."
“The guy who runs the sand in he’s undies, he’s still breathing but he’s unconscious.” The way that sentence just sent me into a fit. Like the way they just went “guy in the undies,” and the dude on the phone was just like “ohh yeah, that guy” 😂
15:30 As a South African, we do feel going to the hospital for things like this is unnecessary. The only time we go to the hospital is when it is actually serious. If you don't have a broken bone or bleeding profusely, you shrug it off and move on. I can't explain the feeling but when we go to the hospital for "minor" things it gives us anxiety. Like going to the hospital for a paper cut.
Seems like anything can happen down at Bondi. Lifeguards have to be prepared for anything and always ready to act! (Check out some of their best rescues here - ruclips.net/p/PL0Xa58krD0jXcnNCuNWTGCOQEw0jRgNx4)
Honestly people say that being a lifeguard is fun or easy then you see videos like these
Thanks a lot for all the help you give to people in and out of the water, even though that's not your responsibility. If you weren't there, I don't know what could have happened to these guys and all the people that don't swim between the flags and that stuff. Thank you.

@@Izzysgarden1 I have kinda a fobia 2
The woman in the first clip helping that young man after his seizure is so sweet. Most people who come out of a seizure can be tired, confused, and scared. Keeping them calm and comforted can help them through the moment.
She said her mum had frequent seizures so she was used to it. Just goes to show how having knowledge can really help in these situations
I loved, too, that she kept quiet to the lifeguards and the TV crew about being on Big Brother. There was no attention-grabbing from her, no "look at me" - she was just focused on looking after the young lad and using her experience of her Mum's seizures to help him. Class act.

Yeah I totally agree. I have epilepsy and sometimes after having seizures with stranger surrounding you and not know what is going on can make me panic. Sometimes I have panic attacks when I wake up. The people of bondi are amazing.
I love how the diabetic recovers and says “back to war” makes me emotional

As a type 1 diabetic i cant imagine what its like to have low blood sugar and a seizure at the same time

I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT GUY
That Pete guy was a true warrior
“Back to war”
When he first came to the tower I thought maybe he had communication issues but once he came around I realised his medical condition even just strips him of the simple ability to speak etc, glad he went to the tower for help and the genuine look of concern in the lifeguards face was humbling.
same, i thought he did to, but hes a real legend, when he said back to war that was so wholesome, glad he recovered
its scary my dad had a low blood suger episode we didnt know it we were looking at a house and was doing paperwork and he was just stareing at the paper work and we tried to get his attetion it was like the lights were on but noone was home he kept repeating “im ok “ over and over took his blood suger and it was 30 which is really low for him everyone was rushin trying to get sweets in him to raise his suger thank heavens the relatitor was also diabetic or we would not have known how low it was.
Yes this , my sister is diabetic and I've witnessed her hypos , the brain just switches off going into survival mode and it is some scary shit
Yeah when I'm having an episode it sounds like I'm drunk af, slurring words and barely able to stand. It would be terrible to have one at the beach, so hot and hard to walk in the sand!
Speaking is actually one of the "higher" functions of the brain, meaning it's one of the first things to fail when someone falls ill.
I.e. diabetics, drunks, brain bleeds: all of them get slurred speech. Sometimes someone has an active stroke, but another person might think they're drunk. That's why you ALWAYS double check.
Ten year paramedic here. Those lifeguards are doing everything right for what they're able to do. Keeping their patients calm, getting them into a recovery position when needed, calling for more advanced help quickly. They're doing a great job setting up the patients for when the paramedics arrive. Seizures can be intimidating, especially if one is not prepared for them or had a lot of experience responding to them but there were able to handle things well in these clips. Good onya mates.
Nice 👍

I feel bad for Angelica, she was apologising for having seizures and she can’t control them yet she was apologetic :(
And putting herself down for it :(
Ikr! She honestly can't control it and she still felt she had done something wrong!! 😟
It's honestly hard not to, you open your eyes and people or a person is looking at you with this concerned look and all you can feel is guilt, especially if it's a loved one. I've sobbed a lot after my post state because my girlfriend looked so scared and its like, "I did this..." Even though I obviously dont mean to, plus stress is a large trigger and it's hard not to be constantly afraid you'll just fall out. You just like wake up but your eyes are already open and you become aware of someone talking to you and you're just thinking you were asleep or something but your body feels like crap.
I remember the first time I had a seizure was at my friends’ house and my friend was so scared she even started crying which ig is understandable but my point is that it’s usually more scary for the person seeing the seizure than the one experiencing it because you can’t really do anything to help you just have to wait
I feel extremely embarrassed when I have seizures for no reason

As an epileptic, it’s terrifying waking up after a seizure because your mind is groggy and everything hurts and you can’t recognise what happened or where you are, so I think that the life guards handled these cases really well. If I were one of these patients I’d feel as if I were in good hands.
This is so true 😕❤️
indeed!
We're her small faints considered seizures ? Fortunately she seemed quite lucid and aware afterwards. I don't know what the trigger was to cause 3 in such a short amount of time.
@@Josh.WDW. yes! There are many types of seizures (I am also an epileptic) over the last 2 years I had seizures like her about 5 times a day every day some days you pop right back up and others it takes awhile. It affects everyone differently
@@UnfilteredMinds101 Oh wow! I hope you have a good support system , I can't even imagine.
That last girl really needed to go to the hospital. While I'm sure she's thoroughly sick of them, I wish she had gone. Having 3 fits in the space of an hour is NOT "doing okay."
Probably didn't get travel insurance.
@@AnjaFourie australia has free health care...
In SA it’s not all free maybe that is why she didn’t want to
@@Cassxowary Is it free for tourists as well? She probably didn't know if it is.
A lot of people with epilepsy can feel embarrassed when that have a seizure in public and feel too tired and confused to make proper decisions. At least she had family there who seemed worried but not too concerned. They might have been aware of why she was fitting and didn’t see a reason to go to the hospital because it was an easy fix. Literally anything can be a trigger for a seizure and they may have known what her specific triggers were.
what the heck- Pete just turned into a whole new man once he recovered i-
LMAOOOOO
Yup
Just goes to show how different people are in different states of mind or health
People can have very strange behavior right before a seizure. Most likely he was bound to have a seizure once he started slurring his words and shaking but the sugar he had helped him recover faster.

As a nurse I’m so impressed with how the lifeguards handle health conditions especially when they’re not common like seizures. Well done guys
Aww I feel bad, Angelica was apologizing for something she couldn’t control. She must of felt so embarrassed

@@erinfarrell7954 do they sometimes think they’re for attention?
S4S?
My niece and her mom (family friends but family) are both epileptic and they both get incredibly embarrassed after a seizure. It doesn’t bother me anymore when they have a seizure because I know what to do and how to handle it, but it used to bother me that she felt so horribly about herself after having a seizure. It’s not something they can control so it was a big deal for her to feel so shitty about herself.
@@erinfarrell7954 its nothing to be embarressed about you have a condition that you can not control no need to be embarrased about something that is out of your control
i have epilepsy and that lady comforting the young man who had just had a seizure made me emotional. i can only think of a couple people who have actually helped me before, during, and after a seizure- most people either don’t know what to do or they have the wrong information and do way more harm than good. the way the lady reacted was so compassionate and understanding- it’s really important to know basic first aid!
She had to know because of her mother. But how do people make it worse?
@@mauia88 it can happen in so many ways. Im a severe epileptic and when people dont understand whats happening, they can sometimes think its a drug issue or something like that. My worst experience was having a seizure while I was taking a walk and I seized on a bitumen road, I ended up covered in grazes and cuts but the people in the area that it happened thought I was having some kind of overdose or drug reaction.
Epilepsy can be very confusing.
I was in year 5 and somebody has a seizure in front of me and they banged their head on my desk my whole class was shoked but all the teachers rushed us out of the room so nobody could help exept the teachers
@@haydentattoo4226 Yep, epileptic here too. I think my craziest post seizure experience was walking down Oxford Street in Sydney about 11pm on a Saturday night. I was trying desperately to get to St Vincents Hospital ER which was a mile/1.6km away from my home. Ended up vomiting in a rubbish bin on the way. So there I was, girl in her mid 20's, not dressed for clubbing in a major party area, but swaying, slurring my speech and vomiting. Everyone thought I was either drunk or on drugs and, as I'd bitten my tongue pretty badly, I was lisping which made speech even more difficult. Tried to explain to people I'd had a seizure, even to bouncers at hotels (one of whom told me to F%$# off), not one person helped me. I had a second seizure at the hospital after I got there. Cracked skull, major concussion. Luckily it didn't happen while I was still on the way there.
@@Laniba12 oh wow, I’m so sorry to hear that. That must have felt so demeaning and scary.
The thing that got me most of all was the look of compassion and concern on the lifeguard's face when he was helping Pete. His genuine concern for a fellow human being was beautiful to behold.
As an American I was worried about them calling the ambulance cause like what if the man can’t afford it and then I remembered this is in Australia and getting medical help won’t financially ruin your life. What a dream.

Just so you know, he came back when he was discharged from hospital and thanked them. Ive seen the rest of that episode.

My mother is an epileptic, Grand Mal seizures. She has said right before the seizure she may feel some discomfort, blurred vision and other symptoms like that, but the seizure itself is complete blackout, or at least she doesn't remember it at all happening. Don't know if it's the same for everyone, but I can imagine a lot of people have the same experience.
The few seizures that I've had weren't painful or uncomfortable because you don't feel anything or even remember the moment you had a seizure. However if you hit something like a rock or in my case a table you'll start feeling it once you come around.
One of my best seizures was on Thanksgiving at my buddies house , right after we sat down to eat. My forehead went through the jellied cranberries and smashed the edge of my plate into the table. My buddy and his dad grabbed me from both sides and held me till it was over. Mashed potatoes and gravy hit the ceiling , stuffing all over his auntie , turkey on his mom. Cleared the house. Lost bladder control. lost my drivers license for years. Good times.
My mum has fits lots and most nights becase she has a heart condishon
I have epilepsy and mine can be pretty scary. The worst part at least for me is the memory loss and not knowing whats going on. That vulnerability is difficult.
Having epilepsy is so stressful and it's even worse having seizures around people who have no idea how to take care of you during an episode. I love that these lifeguards are aware and able to safely help people. I wish more people knew what to do in these cases.

I can 100 percent assure you that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He did the ultimate act of love for mankind in being crucified, being buried, and rising again on the third day.

My aunt grew up with epilepsy since she was like 12 and she still has them all the time (she knows how to manage them now) but it is scary watching her have one because all you can do is watch and make sure she doesn't fall over

That's sad. In grade 12, our english teacher was standing up, next thing, she had a seizure, fell back and hit her head on the well and then the floor (i wasnt there that day luckily) there was apparently blood everywhere 😣 she didnt come to school the next day but when she came back, she had a big bump on her head and a burst blood vessel in her eye. She wasnt acting normal for a few days after that. It's really horrible that some people suffer from epilepsy
As someone who suffers from epilepsy, I know how dangerous it can be to have seizures while being outside. We're lucky to have the Bondi lifeguards. And Reidy is so caring and comforting!
Your rescues have me riveted to my IPAD. You amaze me as to how fast you can paddle out to the patient to rescue them. I did not know that I should raise my hand while in the water if I am in trouble. Although I don’t think I will ever be swimming in the ocean again because I am 80 years old.
I want to thank you for everything you all do.

As someone who is epileptic the lifeguards did an awesome job with the way they handled the situation. Here’s to them,
And all the lifeguards that save so many lives in so many situations it isn’t all about just rescuing people in the water. They do the full load. Their incredible.
I only have partial seizures myself, but being in such a state where you can't speak, you aren't really present is both scary and surreal.

Wait I’m not 12 years late!!! Bloody amazing
My dog growing up had seizures. It was heartbreaking for us and I can only imagine how he felt each time. All we could do was get him to lie down and just stay with him until he came to.
My dog also has seizures, and it’s so sad. He has terrible anxiety disorder because of them, and I can only think of how scared he must be when it happens because he doesn’t know what’s happening. He hasn’t had one for a few months, though, so I’m glad.
My family’s chocolate lab would have Grand Mal seizures and was on medication nearly his entire life but was still a very active dog and passed away at 14 which is old for any dog but amazing considering the circumstances. Two of my best friends are also epileptic and have different triggers but also very different types of seizures but thankfully don’t have to deal with anything as intense as a Grand Mal.
One of my dogs is epileptic. He always runs to me when he feels a seizure coming on. I grab a blanket, wrap him up, and hold him tight until it's over.
One of the most heartbreaking things to see is a dog having a seizure. I work in a vet clinic, and I've seen several, it never gets easier.
i feel so bad for everyone especially the old man with epilepsy because i don’t have it but whenever he was shaking and couldn’t talk i understand whenever i’m sick i shake and after i throw up i shake and i cry and can’t control anything and i cry even more i can’t imagine have a seizure

A boy in my class had a seizure, he turned blue and we had to call the ambulance and make sure he could breath 😬 one of the scariest experiences of my life
How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough?
Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
this exact same thing happened to me !

13:58 when Reidy picks up that lady like a child, shows how badass these lifeguards are
I have seizures, like full grand mal where I shake on the floor, but if I take my medicine regularly, and eat and sleep regularly I’m fine. When I feel a seizure coming on first I feel panic and confusion so I often try to find someone cuz I’m scared. Then I feel my head being pulled the the right and my body starts to follow, like I can’t control my head and eyes, then I just go into a full seizure. When I wake up it takes me about 15 minutes to understand what’s going on again and I repeat questions a lot. I understand the girl who didn’t want to go to hospital tho cuz once I literally fell down stairs while having a seizure (I ended up with HORRIBLE black eyes I couldn’t see, and bad head trauma) and my mom took me to the ER. I was very reluctant firstly cuz I was still out of it, secondly cuz I thought “I’ve had seizures before. I’m okay”. I went to the hospital and had two more grand mal seizures while there. They put in an IV and when I started having my seizure would administer a calming drug. Scary for sure but hopefully this helps someone.
@eclipse_stay my seizures are pretty much the same as urs except my eyes and head turn to the left and then my body follows. I've never met someone hows seizures are so close to mine
Isla Dungey Omg I’ve never seen someone with seizures like mine either! Idk if it’s the same for you, but I am not triggered by anything and they don’t know why I have seizures. I’ve also gone over a year before without a seizure so they don’t happen often. That’s really comforting tho that someone experiences something like me🥺
Mine is pretty much the same the only thing that triggers mine is stress or if I havent had enough sleep then the sun can (as I have 2 different types). They dont know why I have mine either and they can never catch them on scans (but they know its Epilepsy) is urs the same? Mine can happen either regularly or I can go for a while without having one. I have been seizure free for almost 4 years now though thanks to medication. And I agree it's nice to know there is someone out there like me (I have a friend who has epilepsy but she experiences it a bit differently). I would love to be able to talk to u more about this
Isla Dungey I guess you could say mine is triggered too by stress or lack of sleep. If you want to talk more my Instagram is @michelle_d28 !!
@@l.p.864 yeah I can generally feel when mine are about to happen as well the same as your mum can. I hope your mum is doing well currently and I know it can be traumatic to see as well (as I have been on both sides of the coin) but know that just having someone there for us when we come out if the seizures to help us through is a great thing and your mum must be happy to have you by her side.
As someone with epilepsy, it is terrifying when you are on the cusp of a seizure and can barely communicate to someone when you’re about to drop. Bless that guy.
I don't understand why people disliked this! Probably just jealous bc the lifeguards r doing such amazing stuff that they could never do
Might be because they thought this was filmed during covid and thought it was insensitive nobody was wearing masks
@@SweetTreatStudio lol maybe
@@beckhamreynolds5248 haha u right
Probably disliked the fact that the poor people had seizures n drowning n shit
They might of liked it so much that they disliked it

I have a son who is now 10 years old and he's epileptic. The first time he had a seizure he was 6 months old and we rushed him to the hospital while he was in the hospital he had seven more seizures and then was flown to Riley hospital and while in the helicopter he had another seizure so the first time we ever seen him have a seizure he had a total of eight at six months old that day and he has had them ever since and still deals with them to this day. It was the most terrifying thing I had ever seen and they still scare me but I have trained my other children on what to do in case the situation happens.
This lifeguards are amazing men and women keep up the amazing life-saving work that you guys do it is because of you and what you do that people are still here and get to continue on again thank you you guys are heroes in blue!!
As an epileptic myself I'm very happy with the way these lifeguards dealt with each situation. I felt like the girl in the end denied medical care because she most likely felt embarrassed especially with the cameras everywhere, but this is a matter of ur health and u can't put it at risk. I used to get made fun of regarding my epilepsy and still do to some degree but never let it get to me. Keep up the great work guys
i get seizures a lot, (more frequently when I was younger) and they're scary, for me as well sometimes. my advice if you see someone seizing/fitting, you should try and stay calm,put something soft under their head so they don't slam it into the ground (I've done this, it hurts a lot) and make sure that if they throw up, you empty their mouth so they can't choke on it. you can turn a person onto their side to do this - don't put anything into their mouths. and don't worry about them swallowing their tongue - it's physically impossible to do so
Solid advice!!! I have seen many seizures, and there really isn’t much you can do other than make sure the person doesn’t hit their head, and make sure their airway remains clear... Otherwise you just have to leave them alone...
Just turn them to the side though. Trying to clear their airways while they're having a seizure is a super bad idea. They bite *hard* . I had people shoving spoon and stuffs inside my mouth it almost broke my teeth.
@@Alia-bc3rc yeah, don't actually stick anything in the person's mouth... why did they think that was a good idea? let gravity do the work
@@blue.johnstone.z there is this myth that epileptics will swallow their tongue and die if you don't shove something in their mouth to keep it in place (wallet, spoon, pen,...). Given how little people are taught about seizured this remains a big problem.
@@lisamo1013 i still can't believe people believe that, it's literally impossible to swallow your tongue
My son is epileptic and he always apologizes after he’s had a seizure, hearing that lady say sorry made me cry, it’s not like she planned, it’s not her fault. If you see someone seizing, make sure they have space and there is nothing around they can get hurt on, then get them into the recovery position making sure they’re breathing. Seizures are no joke and it takes hours, sometimes days to come round from them. I’m glad Bondi’s lifeguards take seizures seriously, they seem like a great group of people!
You have to give so much respect to these lifeguards. They do this everyday and have saved so many life’s! Also, the diabetic man was so cool and is very strong, the way he said “back to war” was just so emotionally connecting to me. Thank you Bondi lifesavers!!
Pov: you got a video from this channel recommended and then you became addicted to the show, watched all the good videos...
And now only watch their videos once in a while.
✌️😗
*channel *watched
Watching all these people without masks and so close together looks crazy right now.
Not if you live here in Texas! No masks. State is 100% open and our numbers keep dropping! Going to be a great summer! 😊
I think these videos are from 10 years ago from what I read
@@traciepruitt1702 I live in texas as well you are absolutely nuts. You people disgust me! You can still get covid even with the vaccine
@@Shhh_94 you are an embarrassment to our great state! Stay home if you are afraid! The time of following the cdcs ridiculous guidelines are over! If you thought it would be any different, you are not a native Texan or a liberal. Either way feel free to move to a state that is lock downed! 🙄 😂😂😂
@@Decaying_Storybook the proof is in the numbers. Stop living in fear and look at the real world. Red states that are not locked down are doing much better than those states that are still in lock down.
My sister has severe epilepsy. As someone with seizure handling experience, the way they handled the seizures was very good for the situations they were put in.
Edit: one of the best pieces of advice I can give is to calmly talk to someone while they’re having a seizure. I can’t speak for others but from my own experience, they sometimes can hear what you’re saying so when you talk to them calmly it can make getting out of that seizure ( which can be stressful and disorienting) much less scary and confusing.
I hope you sister is ok
@@idontknowwhattohaveasaname1947 she has epilepsy like I said so it happens often. She is ok. I just like to give a little advice when I can because it’s a very good thing to know how to deal with
Hey I have a question!
If someone has a seizure and gets out of it, do one still call the ambulance? Is it safe to leave the person alone after the seizure passed?
@@minmiga it really depends on the person and the type of seizure. If it is a bit grand mal seizure, or a person who doesn’t normally have seizures, you should still call the ambulance. If it is someone that has a seizure condition, they may have a plan they follow post seizure. So it does really depend on the person and the situation. Thank you for asking!
@@evanarnold9771
Ah i understand :) thank you for responding! That's really good to know if i ever have to help someone in that kind of situation. Thank you a lot:)
"Back to war"
What an impressive guy.
A guy at my work had a seizure last year. I knew how to react from my mom having epilepsy, but it was still scary. He had a recent stroke history, so we called paramedics right away to be safe. He bit his lip quite badly and was bleeding quite a bit. His son was absolutely panicking, thinking his dad was going to die. All I had to do was wait for help and try to soothe him and his child, but it was a very tense few minutes. I was really grateful that one of my coworkers used to be a CNA and she was a big help. And of course the paramedics were absolute heroes 🙏
I love how much of a caring spirit you have to have to be a lifeguard. ✨
Bondi life guards waking up in the morning:
"Ah, hot day today...someone's gonna fit or something, everyone be on your toes."
"Ah, beautiful weather. People are gonna underestimate the rip today, everyone keep a look out."
"Ah, a foggy one today. Waves gonna knock someone silly, everyone stay alert."
Hahaha so precise
Pretty much lol!
you forgot the part about foreiners..oh the beach...oh i cant swim or bloody drive
“Glad you came around when you did. I was a bit worried!”

It's JENNIFAA 😂

Jenifaaah
Maybe the lifeguards don't realize how much their work is appreciated. Saving lives all the time.
“The guy who runs the sand in he’s undies, he’s still breathing but he’s unconscious.”
The way that sentence just sent me into a fit. Like the way they just went “guy in the undies,” and the dude on the phone was just like “ohh yeah, that guy” 😂
I love Australian lifeguards because they really show love of what it means to be a lifeguard.
When the man with low blood sugar jolted back, I almost got the life scared outa me
I thought swimming in the ocean was rlly fun until I watched this show
It is, people are just being stupid and get into rips and go outside of the red and yellow flags and accidents happen
15:30 As a South African, we do feel going to the hospital for things like this is unnecessary. The only time we go to the hospital is when it is actually serious. If you don't have a broken bone or bleeding profusely, you shrug it off and move on. I can't explain the feeling but when we go to the hospital for "minor" things it gives us anxiety. Like going to the hospital for a paper cut.
I got so much respect for this job.
