@nbcsouthflorida: "I knew I had to jump off my raft and go save them.” A 24-year-old Hollywood lifeguard says years of training prepared him for a sudden rescue overseas involving his own family members. Marcelo Lorenzo, who has worked with Hollywood Ocean Rescue for three years, was on his annual family vacation in Aruba when an excursion on the water turned dangerous. He said the raft carrying his father, aunt and cousin slammed into a boat after their captain made a quick turn. #vacation #lifeguard #aruba #hollywood #family

I've never seen this excursion being done with another large boat nearby. The driver should be held accountable for negligence.
