The Secret Lives Of Cruise Ship Workers

A Recorded Rescue

While someone falling off a ship accidentally is extremely rare, it obviously does happen. In the case of the twenty-two-year-old, his rescue was even caught on film. How the man was able to stay afloat in the rough ocean waters is truly a miracle.

Apparently, the passenger who originally spotted the man was sitting on his balcony with his daughter when they heard the man screaming for help. They immediately alerted guest services, and the captain brought the ship to a stop. Later, it was revealed that the man went overboard the Royal Caribbean early in the morning when no other guests or crew were around. The Royal Caribbean cruise ship itself is equipped numerous safety procedures including rails that measure 42 inches tall and over 1,200 security cameras. Some people have said such features are not enough and have even called for ships to be equipped with man overboard sensory technology.
