In the summer months, millions of Britain’s flock to the UK’s 11,000 miles of coastline. But, as more and more of us have lost our connection with and understanding of the seas that surround us, it’s all too easy to be caught out by the water – making it the busiest time of year by far for the RNLI.
The army of unpaid volunteers has to contend with everything from overly ambitious novice sailors caught in a storm to a little girl who has become trapped in the rocks below the high-water mark. The dangers of the water are further put into perspective when a father gets himself into serious difficulties after swimming out to try and rescue his young son whilst a YouTube prankster deliberately flings himself from Tower Bridge for ‘a dare’.
Welcome to the official Saving Lives at Sea YouTube channel, featuring dramatic RNLI rescues and real-life emergencies from around the coasts of the UK and Ireland.
Using lifeboat and helmet-camera footage, the series captures incredible rescue missions as they unfold – from boats caught in storms to swimmers and paddleboarders swept out to sea.
