Wave slams Goat Island snorkeller into rocks, dislocating shoulderARHT/Stuff Jay Christiansen was't sure how he was going to get off Goat Island after a snorkelling accident left him paralysed with pain. Hearing the rotor blades of the Auckland Westpac rescue helicopter coming towards him was a 'massive' relief for Jay Christiansen. A wave had sucked him back as he was getting out of the water on the far side of the island, then slammed him into rocks, dislocating his shoulder. Jay Boreham Jay Christiansen said as soon as Westpac rescue advance paramedic Chris Deacon began talking to him, he began to feel calm and relieved. Back on the island, Christiansen was also worried.
