I think it is considered a training exercise and its good PR. Hate to think that the first attempt to save a life might be a kid who would not last nearly as long , and the bugs have not been worked out by some of these "practice runs".

Anyway , I am sure they do a safety/value of training exercise assessment before they put the rescuers in harms way.

pretty sure it is training exercise, i see the local guys doing it on a shallow pond and rescuing practicing dumbies. last year a couple horses from a farm wondered on to it, was interesting to watch. safely rescued btw
