Colorado Parks and Wildlife is crediting the use of life jackets as a reason for survival, as four people were safely rescued from Rampart Reservoir on Sunday afternoon.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife credited life jackets as the reason that four paddle boarders who were knocked into the water at Rampart Reservoir are safe.

A mother is urging fellow parents to prioritize water safety after her 12-year-old daughter suffered a medical emergency while paddle boarding at Chatfield Reservoir less than two weeks ago.

They were wearing life vests. They clung to the kayak and yelled for help. Bibin Michael jumped in to help. Police said halfway between the shoreline and kayak, Bibin went down and did not resurface.
