Learning from a Serious and Deadly Accident

[Speed on the Water]

If nothing else, the tragedy on Lake of the Ozarks last August needs to heighten the awareness of why drinking and high-performance boating don't mix.

There has been way too many dumb moves made with people driving extreme performance boats while intoxicated. And then, to make things even worse, it does not get discussed because people say it's not a correct/polite thing to talk about because people died.

It's time every high performance boat owner makes a pact with all of their friends to not allow anybody to drink and performance boat. PERIOD!!

Jason is absolutely correct. The root cause should be much more pronounced on the discussions.

Sometimes it seems some stories are more off-limits than others.

I think that one is because so many people were semi-involved before the boat left on its last run.

Offer immunity.

First they have to take the fifth, don't they?

That story wasn't off limits...we did something on the accident report and got a lot of flack for it. What we didn't do was speculate on whether alcohol was involved as toxicology reports were not performed.
