A man was rescued in the water near the Fisherman’s Channel in Florida Monday night.
The man, who was not wearing a life jacket, had fallen out of his boat and was rescued from the water.
Boats 26 feet or shorter are required to have an engine cut-off switch and operators must use the lanyard to stop accidents like this.
Miami-Dade fire crews were able to stop the boat before it “escaped” entangling it. The man suffered only minor injuries.
