Greater Sudbury Fire Services volunteer in training Lindon Shanks is credited as saving a man’s life on Long Lake after his lifejacket became entangled in a jet ski’s water intake
Greater Sudbury man Lindon Shanks is being called a lifesaver after saving a man on the verge of drowning on Long Lake near Moxam’s Landing last week.
“It sucked the life jacket so tight onto my body that I couldn’t even move and I was getting pulled under the jet ski,” Noble said. “It was a pretty scary situation.” The 21-year-old had spent the morning in the garage of his family’s home working on machinery and had gone into the house to fix himself a meal when he looked out a window overlooking Long Lake to see a man later identified as Noble make his way out onto the water with a jet ski.
Shanks threw out a rope to drag him to shore, but found Noble was dragging the machine behind him, which his life jacket was tangled up in. “I’ve never seen anyone so close to exhaustion,” he said, adiding that even upon reaching the shore, Noble had to continue lying on the floor of the boat before he could gather enough energy to get up.
