One of the blokes who died in Devon swam in the sea nearly every day. Seems he was caught out by what another sea swimmer said was the roughest weather he had seen.
Stop being busy cunts and let folk do what they want.

Nah, if somebody's daft enough to get in the water then they should be left to fend for themselves if it goes tits up. Volunteers should just give them a little wave as they go under.Even if it puts volunteers in danger ?
Mixture of both I'd imagine. I lived by the sea for 20 years and we never went in if it was remotely rough. The boats only got launched on calmish days. Madness to do anything else.'Caught out' or just plain stupid ? People who live by the sea know the sea. They know the tides, the weather. I use to do alot of sea fishing and I would never have fished in a yellow weather warning.
It seems people who live by the sea are losing the respect you should give the sea.

Like having Christmas dinner with the family?Stop being busy cunts and let folk do what they want.
How does the volunteer decide who needs saving ?Nah, if somebody's daft enough to get in the water then they should be left to fend for themselves if it goes tits up. Volunteers should just give them a little wave as they go under.
or charge the twats a hefty call out.The properly done and official sea swims, sea wades more like, are watched over by the emergency services. I've done one myself. Made loads of cash for the RNLI. And it was very cold. Made up by whisky in the pub after.
But sadly now you get loads of twats/ influencers filming themselves climbing mountains/ swimming in the sea/ jumping off cliffs without proper clothing and/or assistance. I'd just leave them...if they die, they die.
Absolute tragedy and such a shame for the individuals and families involved.
Sadly people make misjudgements and nature can take the most experienced person by surprise.
Human nature to try things which push boundaries, test themselves, and embark on traditions a bit out of the ordinary. It’s called living.
Depressing reading this thread and the lack of empathy shown by many.
Yeah, that works for me.How does the volunteer decide who needs saving ?
Perhaps the mountain rescue should climb 2,000 feet to the injured person.
If they are wearing proper gear they get saved, if they are in jeans and flip flops they are left there ?
After seeing the conditions no sane person would go anywhere near the sea…….There were pictures on TV of the waves, that day, and stupid fuckers endanger their own lives, and that of potential rescuers, for kicks.
These two people have left their wives as widows, and their children fatherless, on something nothing better than a bucket list stunt.
