A foreign tourist dives into the sea of Balai despite the rough waters and the lifeguard promptly brings him back to shore with great skill and cold blood.
A rescue defined by many as "heroic", which took place last Saturday on the splendid beach of Porto Torres. Lifeguard Roberto saved the life of the careless tourist after the man had dived into the sea, ignoring the red flag and the stormy sea. Mayor Massimo Mulas wanted to thank his courageous gesture on behalf of all citizens.
"Sometimes to carry out one's duty one has to put one's life at risk: although it is a foregone fact when choosing certain professions, it is always right to express our gratitude to those who work without hesitation in such dangerous sectors", said the mayor.
Therefore, in thanking Mr. Roberto, the mayor invites citizens and tourists to be cautious: «Those who adopt risky behavior endanger not only their own life but also that of those who are professional rescuers - adds Mulas - it is a matter of responsibility : the summer chronicles are unfortunately full of drownings and, at times, stories of rescuers who perished in the waves».
