Re: 10 year old drowns

Firstly may I say I too saw the telly reports and first thoughts were "OMG why not act" BUT then it was reported "no sign of boy on arrival" so that then rules out entry to water as Firefighter has stated and the rules why.

SteeleJack UK does have the Good Smariatin (sp) act and to put it as simple as I can (and I think I posted about it in the Dr thread) "providing the person does not go beyond their level of skill, training or equipment then it MAY be deamed an ACT OF A GOOD SMARIATIN" that is a simple as I can understand it but will glady be corrected or have that confirmed.

The first thing you are taught in basic !st Aid IS DrABC


D = DANGER to ME, my collegues, any others or the casulity

or in otherwords if you feel it is NOT safe STOP!!!!!! Do not become another casulity
