Mr. Jenkins's rescue was undoubtedly brave and heroic and Mr. Hartung made a poor decision that almost cost him his life ...However, luck is about the only thing that kept this headline from being "bystander heroically dies in rescue attempt." Anyone in the river community should use this event as a tool. Ask yourselves how this rescue could have been handled in the minutes leading up to the rescuer jumping in? What could the rescuers have done to ensure the safety of their team? Either way everyone was able to "tell the tale" and that is a blessing.
