Lifeguard Killed by Lightning Strike at Adventure Island water park in Tampa
A 21-year-old lifeguard supervisor at a Florida water park was killed when the ride he was working on was struck by lightning.
Justin Inversso was working Saturday to get people off of the 700-foot-high Key West Rapids Ride at the Adventure Island water park in Tampa, Fla., because of an oncoming storm when lightning struck the ride at around 11:49 a.m.
Inversso was standing in 2 to 3 feet of water at the time of the lightning strike.
Park employees pulled him from the water and administered CPR before Tampa Fire Rescue workers arrived a few minutes later. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
The Key West Rapids ride was closed Saturday, but the park remained open.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
.................
