I don't think he should have gone in after the guy. As has been said, it seems that more times than not the rescuer becomes a victim. A few years ago in Mass? a whole family went that way. Call 911, tell them where you last saw the guy when they show up. There's nothing else you should do.

We all know the risks, and none of us should expect someone else to risk their life to save us. To quote the Sopranos "It's the life we've chosen."

I'm not sure if you guys were kidding about trying to catch a drowning person, but it seems to me that the only thing worse than drowning is drowning with someone's 3.5oz pencil popper in your face.
