Thousands of people are injured each year in recreational boating accidents.
More than 600 people died last year because of a boating accident.
Last week, Jeff Green almost became one of those statistics. He was enjoying the Labor Day weekend, standing in the water of a lake in West Bloomfield, when a jet ski hit him at full speed.
Police say the driver of the jet ski was drunk.
Jeff's story might have had an entirely different ending - if not for the quick thinking and quick actions of two strangers who can now call themselves Jeff's friends.
Stephen Clark introduces you to them in the video player above.
