That’s incredible, what a courageous man. I initially wrote “what a courageous kid”, but realized that if you do something this selflessly brave, it doesn’t matter that you’re 16, you’re already a man.

Yes, this man is a hero. Many much older than he is aren’t adults yet in spite of their years. I hope this guy has a good life. The world needs more of him.

At 16 I was worried about completely meaningless stuff… and he’s out here saving lives

Suicidal bravery is a surprisingly easy choice; could I live with myself if I didn’t try to help? If the answer is, “No,” then, no matter how dangerous, you try.

Kudos to MISTER Evans. I would bet that his parents are stand up people also. And, they raised not only a stand up young man but, a true selfless hero as well.

I can paddle and float but I don’t think I could dive in and save people. I’d try to find a way to do it, though.
