That's the tally I've heard also.
The Cig that rolled...(T/S Gun)
Supposedly, Dad (owner) let his son take it out for a morning run, and the kid lost his hat and made a hard left to go retrieve it.
T/S + hard turn = BATH.
Fortunately not hurt.

The little girl falling off of the front of the rented pontoon really gets to me. Stuff like that should not happen.

Flipping a 150 mph cat, a 16 year old rolling a stepped Cig, or falling off the side of a fast moving Fountain are things that many of us have come close to doing in some shape or form. Usually dumb decisions or reactions......

I think it was November of 2011 when they rolled that Orange 35DCB on Havasu making too sharp of a turn. One lake, 2 1/2 years, two upside down 35 DCB's. I'm not sure there has been that many race DCB's over in that same time frame.....

I've heard very little in main stream local media, if anything at all.

The end of this one...

Wow, couldn't see any reason for the move he made at the end of the second vid. That Cat has lost at least one of its lives......
