Packed with visitors, water rescues are becoming more complicated along the Salt River

In May 2021, a girl almost drowned on the Salt River, and while she was saved by MCSO rescuers, rescue efforts were complicated by river paths that were blocked tubers and kayakers. FOX 10's Steve Nielsen reports.

    Watched the long version of this video. Couldn't believe that people couldn't see the obvious and get out of the rescuers way. Come on people. Sirens blaring, officers motioning for people to move, and they are totally oblivious!

    Unfortunately inner tubes don't come with motors. What might seem like no response you could be the tubers frantically paddling with their itty bitty hands.

    I just went tubing here 2 weeks ago and have went a few times now, it's not easy moving out of the way quickly on those tubes. I've seen the patrol boats coming down too, you do what you can

    Maybe they need a open lane for all the rescues, everyone stay 10 ft away from one shore

    its easy to put brakes on a water vessel. its not exactly rocket science ... if a fan pushes it forward then that same fan could be used to push it the opposite direction by just allowing the blade to tilt slightly trhough a external mechanism...
