(CNN) Florida shores may soon become a bit safer thanks to the ingenuity of 13-year-old Kaial Hajik in Panama City Beach. Redman drowned on Panama City Beach in 2019 attempting to rescue a drowning child. It's actually the pursuers -- working to help save these people -- that are the ones that are perishing," Joe Hajik told CNN. The LifeBoKx is just an idea for now, but the father-son team envisions positioning the emergency kits throughout the Panama City Beach shoreline. This year, Panama City Beach has witnessed eight confirmed drownings, according to city officials, with strong rip currents a main factor.
