In correct. He was instructed to guard a particular area. He is trained to save lives. Saving a life does not know any perimeters that I'm aware of.
Being a lifeguard does have parameters, perhaps you should be aware of that as that is the reason he got fired.

I'll say it again Tribesman. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.
Goes with the job.
Don't like rule#1 then don't take the job.

If he sat and did nothing while the swimmer drowned you would probably believe he was a lout and should have performed his lifesaving despite company policy. Fire him for his inaction!
Do you notice something about the people who take the same view as me on this?

Semantics.
No, accuracy.

He did what should have been done.
Not as a lifeguard.

So I will take that as, you would have stood by.
Interesting, what do you base that nonsense on?
Re read your post#11 and look at the two important words which are dealt with in post#13

Unfortunately, you would now be liable for prosecution for having done nothing.

On what possible basis?

Quote:
He did administer aid, at least according to the article.
According to him in the article? according to him he was saving lives? according to one article he also rescued the person from the sea?

Quote:
I wasn't there. I only told you what the article said. You should consider asking that lifeguard.
I had already pointed out that some of the articles are telling very different stories and the lifeguard iseems to be telling different stories.
If I was to consider asking any of those lifeguards anything I would ask to other two that got fired if they can remember their training and would like to think again before they gave their answer or go through a refresher course to get re certified for the job.
