– We never know what this man's reaction will be. It all depends on what comes from the injured person. Whether it is rushing on lifeguards, or verbal aggression or jerking. We must take care of our own safety and, above all, immobilize this man so that there is no situation in which the lifeguard will be kicked or hit. We try to secure a person so that he does not hurt us nor to us – emphasized Nowicki.
