Sean Kingston Walking and Breathing on His Own

After a near tragic jet ski accident that landed Sean Kingston in critical care, the 'Beautiful Girls' singer is finally breathing on his own and walking, according to E! Online. Kingston was left with a broken jaw and wrist and water-filled lungs after he and a female passenger crashed their jet ski into Miami's Palm Island bridge over Memorial Day weekend. Once medics arrived on the scene, Kingston was taken to a Miami hospital and placed on a breathing tube.

"Sean is breathing on his own now and walked for the first time this morning," the singer's publicist, Joseph Carozza, told E. "Sean thanks his friends, family and fans for their outpouring of prayers and well wishes."

Although Kingston has come a long way from his initial critical state, according to doctors he is still in store for several more weeks of hospital recovery. So what's the first thing Kingston will do once he's out of recovery? According TMZ, he'll thank the man who saved him. After the collision between the jet ski and Miami bridge, a member of the Coast Guard, Jonathan Rivera, saved both Kingston and his female passenger.

"I'm not worried about anything but him getting better," Rivera told TMZ. "I'm glad he is recovering and that's all that matters."

Although alcohol has been ruled out as having had any involvement in the crash, Kingston's reckless driving may be to blame. Kingston's 21-year-old female passenger, Cassandra Sanchez, who only suffered minor injuries from the collision, recalls that the pair were traveling "really fast" before she begged Kingston to slow down.

"We can't fit under there," she recalls shouting at Kingston regarding the upcoming bridge. "Are we going to try and go under there? Sean stop!"

Although Kingston is primarily focused on his recovery, we have a feeling that he'll have some explaining to do once he's back on his feet.

He said in his first hospital interview that he will never ride another jetski as long as he lives. But plans on taking his motorcycle for a cross country trip as soon as the plaster dries on his leg cast.

I took my kids to see Sean Kingston in concert. I think he is a great person. It is hard to find a singer now days that don't cuss through their entire songs! Good Luck Sean! I hope you get better soon!!

Who is this guy??? Never heard of him?????

By naturalwrld

I saw the headline with the sub-header (First Thing He'll Learn to Do) and I thought maybe it would be to drive a jet ski responsibly......having said that, despite what appears to be him having displayed some monumentally bad judgement, I wish him well in his recovery. Fortunately the woman with him was not badly hurt.

Thanks to God.

I am glad that he is doing well.

He is an awesome person. I saw that Sweet 18 show on MTV when he returned to Jamiaca.

I kind of wish that I was from the island. Then, my life would probably as exciting as his.

Since there isn't a black person in America who knows how to swim, what was this beached whale doing out on the water pretending to drive a jet ski in the first damn place? He should have been rolled up in a McDonalds somewhere beating up a transexual or rioting like the rest of his fellow pavement apes and porch monkeys.

Seriously? I've had worse, there are a lot of people who have had worse and they're going to put THIS on the news? This is not worthy enough to even be on the news for over TEN DAYS. I have to see his stupid accident EVERY TIME I check my E-mail. He's been on AOL news longer than the freaking royal wedding was! D:
