Call it what it really is....A RACE! And make everyone be held to the same rules and standards as a race. Scary how everyone was speeding by them after they got dumped in the water. Fucking novices that care more about being first to the card stop than everyones safety. More money than brains.

Slowing down and stopping would of caused more damage. The majority of the boats slowed down and where in contact with poker run control that advised them to continue to avoid additional issues.

What happened?

8 year old last Mon 4-22 fell off the front of the pontoon her dad was driving. Hit the prop and didn't make it.

Cig made a sharp turn and rolled on Sat. No injuries that I know of.

How in the fuck does an 8yr old fall off the front of a pontoon while daddy is driving and hit the prop????

How does that happen??? Why did that happen??

Holy shit I'm in a foul mood now.

RIP little girl.

I heard about the cig while eating breakfast at the springs sat morning. I guess it happened down there before 8 am. No details outside of "it rolled".

Rented toon...I guess the rental company didn't go over (or dad wasn't listening) the very important rule about not sitting on the bow while under power. Very sad!

That is just awful. You never want to hear a story like that, sad deal all the way around. Thoughts go out to the people involved.

Same thing happened in my area a couple summers ago.
Rented 'toon too.
Son was dangling feet over the bow.
Dad couldn't swim...

I just cannot imagine
:(
Such a sad thing and SO easily preventable.
I have yelled at a few doing that same on my lake and get told to "f" off pretty much.
Just HATE it!!
Also see cuddy boats with kids 1/2 out the bow hatches, or dangling legs under railings, or the proposing rig with a crowd leaning into the windshield.
Just asking for trouble.

Luckily I have not seen any injuries in over 10 years.
Hopefully it will stay that way too !!!!

I had heard that a kid was driving the boat and lost his hat..... and tried to turn quick to go back and get it... guess he didnt know that you cant turn a cig around at 70mph in its own wake!.....
