Tragic boating accident
This type of accident always scares me when pulling tubers and anyone behind a boat for that matter.
Such a tragic loss.

Hate reading stories like this. I cringe every time I see people pulling kids in busy areas. Just because it is legal doesn't mean it's a good idea.

That and not having a spotter/flag person is just totally crazy.

Sad to read.
It's typically the boat operator who's pulling the tubers fault. Guests often ask me to pull them on skis, wake board or etc on busy days. I always say no as I don't want the liability or headache.
The one's that zig-zag across the river with 10 boats behind them trying to pass are the real morons! Typically I just shut it down and float until the yard sale in front of my dies down.

So sad...
It seems like every time I head down to Needles there's some Idiot pulling tubers through that mess just below the bridge. I just don't get it.

Very sad I don't get it. It didn't need to happen. You don't pull your kids on weekends especially busy times. It is a mid week activity when it is not busy. I see so many people pulling kids on busy weekends and it scares me so bad. As a smart parent I would never allow it.

Last week we saw a loan driver pulling two kids on tube and no spotter I wished I was a cop at that moment.

Not a fan of these stories at all. Cannot even imagine the pain. Don't even like thinking of it. :(

Just horrible. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. People need to be more responsible and think about what can happen before they decide to do it.

Such a tragedy. So sad to hear about these things. You go out to have fun and enjoy the day and all of a sudden your lives are changed forever.
I cringe whenever I see people pulling friends and family on tubes on a busy weekend. In the case of Parker, it really would be like putting your friends or family members on a skateboard and pulling them down I5 during rush hour.
The reward under those circumstances just isn't worth the risk.
