#4 I work as a firefighter and I am involved in such situations from time to time aswell. I can assure you, it's not possible to do proper heartmassage without breaking any ribs.. To do any good you have to compress the chest atleast 5cm but not more than 6cm.

I think #4 wants rather die than come back to life with some broken ribs.

I've done compressions a number of times. (Am a registered nurse) It most certainly is not pretty, but younger people tend to do much, much better than older folks. I worked an 85 lb 90 year old lady (DNR people! Have a living will!) one evening and every compression sounded like rice crispies. I dunno know if she made it or not, last I saw of her they were rushing her to ICU still in full code.
First thing I thought of though when they pulled up in the little Polaris yelling "Bring the defib" was, "They better get his ass out of the water before they even think of putting that thing on him." Glad to know they realized it too! Why in the hell didn't they have the AED on the car though? Oh, and btw, contrary to ever popular belief, you do NOT use an AED to 'restart the heart', you actually use it to STOP the heart (and knock the heart out of a shockable rhythm like V-fib/tach) in the hope that the natural pacemakers of the heart take over.
