'The jet skiers made two key decisions that helped save their lives: they wore life jackets and a kill switch lanyard,' Petty Officer 2nd Class Allan-Cesar Shields, operations unit controller, Sector Houston-Galveston said in a statement.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, a man and woman fell off their jet skis when a good Samaritan saw it unfold Saturday around 6:30 p.m. The people were waving their arms as the current swept them both, but thankfully, were wearing their life jackets.
Bystanders diverted a Coast Guard Station response boat that was underway in the vicinity and pulled the couple from the water minutes later. They were not injured, and the crew placed their jet skis in tow before taking them to safety at the Blue Martin Marina. "The jet skiers made two key decisions that helped save their lives: they wore life jackets and a kill switch lanyard," Petty Officer 2nd Class Allan-Cesar Shields, operations unit controller, Sector Houston-Galveston said in a press release.
