“I actually took my kids jet skiing. My first kid that I put on the back for me to ride them because they’re too young to drive themselves, I put her on the back and we went out.
“When I went to make a turn, I slowed down and stopped, I wanted to make a turn and I didn’t put the accelerator on when I was turning and we flipped over. We went into the ocean.”

“I even had the safety vest on me, but it wasn’t working. I was still sinking. I can’t swim.
“So I’m in trouble. I couldn’t get above water. I was going under. My daughter kept her composure.
“The jet ski got away from us. It was like 50 feet away from us. She didn’t know whether to go to the jet ski or to me, and she came over to me and saved my life.
“She pulled me over to the jet ski. She swept 50 yards with me in her hands. Then she’s pushing, and I couldn’t get myself on a jet ski.
“My arms are so weak now because of my neck. I can’t push myself up.
“So now she’s putting her hands under my a*** and pushing me up onto the jet ski and she got me up there.
“Then she jumped up behind me and I said, ‘You know what, honey? You just saved my life.'”
Angle and his ex-wife Karen Smedley, who he divorced in 2008, had a boy and girl together in 2002 and 2006 respectively.
He then married actress Giovanna Yannotti in 2012 and the couple have four children together, three girls and an adopted son.
