Re: Two Men Die in Boating Accident on Potomac River
I wonder if that flying helmet had a head in it..... I thought they wore body chutes to slow them down when this happens, or is it ejector seats for when this happens, or is it diapers for when this happens! All 3 wouldn't have helped much unless used all together... Eject... Deploy chute... shit your diaper!  |

Re: Two Men Die in Boating Accident on Potomac River
Are you guys from the UK? I grew up in Oregon, USA and we always said "skipping" stones. I've never heard anyone say skimming. Just curious.

Re: Two Men Die in Boating Accident on Potomac River
It's a catch 22 situation. There are no belts to prevent them from drowning if something happens which obviously offers no protection when something like this happens. It's sad, but they know the risks every time they fire those puppies up and accept those risks willingly.

Re: Two Men Die in Boating Accident on Potomac River
I would say they did not wear their safety restraints or they both failed at the same time, which is unlikely. Rip, speed demons.  |
