Re: Why you have a kill switch
kinda a old thread, but the the lesson is a good one.
last summer, 2 cats in a bass boat lost it similar to that. no lanyard, no pfd. got chased down by their own boat. from news reports it took three times around to get them. they fended off the boat on the first two times it came back at them, but not the third. one drowned after being knocked unconscious. the other got chopped up. both doa....
the rescue scene. the yellow maker is where i believe they found the fellas. this was after about 3.5 hours of looking for them. what the pic don't show is that the land is a peninsula. land ends off to the right of where the pics cut off at. that's where the accident occurred and they floated that far away from the accident scene. also, that whole peninsula was filled with rescue vehicles. 2 helicopters were involved the the rescue effort.
it was a sad day at the lake that day to be sure..
oh, both victims were claimed to be avid boaters. boat was a vip bass boat w/200hp o/b throttle was @ wot when recovered....
