Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was the team leader of a police surf rescue team. The police received a 911 call regarding a surfer in distress and dispatched Employee #1's team to the scene. Two coworkers launched a jet ski to assist the surfer, but a large wave capsized it and threw the coworkers into the water. Employee #1 and a third coworker then launched a 13 ft Achilles surf rescue boat to assist the two coworkers and the surfer in distress. Another large wave capsized that boat, throwing Employee #1 and the third coworker into the water. Employee #1 drowned. He was not wearing the proper personal protective gear. In addition, the motor on the boat had not been properly maintained; it had water in the gas tank and the spark plugs were worn out.
