TWO Boating Accidents At Pro Tournaments Today. 3 Killed.

Featured Replies

Im curious for those who think we need to limit speed. We should limit speed for everything right? Jet skies, speed boats, wake boats, sail boats, kyakes you name it. If we're also going to start limiting everything that could cause death or injury we shouldn't do anything on the water in limited light situation right no night fishing, no fog, no rain nothing that impeads visibility. Speaking of visibility we should really eliminate small craft all together since they aren't very easy to see. We should probably also eliminate hooks on lures you know they could cause serious death or injury to the user or anyone else within distance of them. We should probably also disallow any use of vessels on water that is anything other than slick calm. One wrong move in any kind of waves and you could go overboard. Maybe each craft on the water should be required to be escorted by a safety boat incase anything does happen. I mean if we really want eliminate anything that could cause injury or death to anyone we have to look at the whole picture.

    I cannot say this enough - ALWAYS wear your PFD. Not just when the big motor is running. ALWAYS.   Weather, wakes, and other boaters constantly put your life in jeopardy out there. If you do

  • "I get that people's first reaction many times is to stifle personal freedoms"   Let's say the tournament organizers decide to limit the entrants to 50 mph. Or 35 mph. No personal freedoms h

Hard to know an answer or even a possible solution when none of us even know what happened to cause the accident. It could be a myriad of issues.

Don't forget to limit the size of the spoons people can bring to eat their lunch on the water. Wouldn't want the big spoons making people get fat.

Alright guys, this is getting borderline absurd.  Nothing new is being discussed at this point.
