Two outlets report that a 14-year-old from Montana, Jory Thomas, uses rodeo lasso skills to rescue a man from the Yellowstone River. The incident occurs during a family camping trip in Montana. After a raft and a paddleboard crash into a bridge pillar, one person is swept downstream in the fast-moving river. Jory, who has rodeo experience, responds by throwing a rope and roping the man on his first attempt. He pulls the man toward shore and helps secure him before emergency responders arrive. Both accounts describe the rescue as quick and improvised, with the rodeo lasso serving as the key tool to reach and pull the person from the water. The Oregonian notes that the teen’s actions lead to recognition for his bravery and quick thinking, while the Times of India focuses on the sequence of events during the river crash and the successful first try with the rope. No outlet provides details on the victim’s identity beyond stating that he is saved from drowning.
