A woman reportedly broke her back and her foot when she jumped into the water to rescue a boy who was struggling against a rip current in Florida on Saturday. “I surf and I swim, so I thought, I can get to that kid,” Pignato told Fox 35 Orlando. “I don’t even remember taking off my shoes and then I just jumped.”However, a sandbar was right below the pier where Pignato jumped. The GoFundMe page said she fractured her lower back in three places and broke the top of her right foot and her right heel. Pignato told Fox 35 Orlando that she’s been overwhelmed by the support and encouragement she’s had.
