Man Rescues Kayaker | Rescue Team

[Ooh-Rah]

Pretty freeking cool, and great timing.

Nick Fieldler is the kayaker who ended up in the water. He broke his tailbone and fractured two vertebrae and is not expected to return to a boat for at least 8 weeks.

Arvidson says rescuers like Strickland go through a lot of training.

"It's called live-baiting and it's something that's done in kayaking and it's something that is practiced for those sorts of moments," she said. "Safety is really important in kayaking. And there's a lot of effort that's put into it."

Awesome save!

It's nice to see one of those rare moments when a responder gets instant positive feedback from the public, even if it was just a few people, and for the rescuer it was "routine", for the work they perform.
