It's very cool! I like when the drones save lives, and not use for killing people.

So cool... that big wave at the end of the video could have been the end of them if they didn't have that float.

what on earth were they doing. They would have risked the lives of those trying to save them if it weren't for the drones.

Awesome video.

Those were dangerous waters.

One problem with drones manned by lifeguards....... what if the drone misses? The lifeguard just wasted time controlling a drone when he could have been going out there.

Then again, maybe the best solution is two-fold. Some lifeguards going out there to get them, one guy on shore doing drone work. Sounds like a good tandem.

Had to know it was going to be Australia. The rip tides can be intense. Goodonem
