Montana: 14-Year-Old Ropes Drowning Man to Save His Life

A 14-year-old boy named Jory Thomas rescued a drowning man in the Yellowstone River near Big Timber, Montana, using skills he learned on a ranch. The incident occurred during the Fourth of July weekend when Thomas was practicing rope loops at his grandparents' campground. Upon hearing screams, he waded into the river and successfully roped the man, bringing him to safety before emergency services arrived. The man had fallen from his boat after colliding with a bridge, leaving him stranded in fast-moving water. Sheriff Alan Ronneberg praised Thomas's actions, stating the man likely would not have survived without intervention. Jory described focusing solely on getting the man out of the water, emphasizing his determination to prevent further loss of life.
