The BBC is reporting that a volunteer coastguard has resigned from
a cliff rescue team after saving a 13-year-old girl's life over a row
about not wearing safety equipment.
Paul Waugh was nominated for an award for the rescue, but his
failure to use safety equipment due to the urgency of the situation
and lack of vehicular access led to an internal investigation and his
subsequent resignation from the service.
You can read the full story at news.bbc.co.uk
and also watch a video
interview with Paul describing vividly what happened. Bonkers and rather sad.
