Great video and pictures so quickly. Hope everyone is OK.
Glad no one was injured or killed.
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.Quote:

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".Quote:

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!.....Quote:
