16岁救生员Ryder Williams在加州圣克鲁兹Seabright海滩成功救出一名遭强浪卷入海中的10岁男孩Nathaniel[1]。该事件发生在周六，当时海上涌起约10英尺高的浪，存在强烈急流[1]。男孩在浅水区遭波浪卷出约15码远[1]。
Williams冒着危险的海况跳入水中进行救援。他表示："第一波浪打来后，我无法把他拉出来，因为他昏迷不醒，浪的冲力太强了[1]。"最终Williams成功将男孩救上岸[1]。获救后男孩未遭受严重身体伤害，但在心理上仍感受到了创伤[1]。
男孩的父亲Sumit Rai对救生员的英勇行为表示深深感谢[1]。他说道："他所做的一切，我永远无法偿还，我永远心存感激[1]。"
A 10-year-old boy was swept into the ocean by powerful waves at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz, California, approximately 60 miles from San Francisco, on Saturday, but was rescued by a 16-year-old lifeguard who braved dangerous conditions to save him [1]. The boy, identified as Nathaniel, was pulled about 15 yards into the water by strong currents while in shallow waters amid 10-foot-high waves [1].
Lifeguard Ryder Williams immediately entered the turbulent water to retrieve the child [1]. Williams described the challenging rescue, stating, "After the first wave, I was unable to pull him out because he was limp and the waves were pushing so hard" [1]. Following the rescue, Nathaniel suffered no serious physical injuries, though the traumatic incident left a psychological impact on the boy [1].
The boy's father, Sumit Rai, who is originally from Dallas, expressed profound gratitude for Williams' courageous actions [1]. "What he did, I can never ever repay. I'm forever grateful," Rai said [1].
