re: Bayou Black Boating Accident

A pro bass guy had his life saved by his helmet when he hit a cable (for a cable ferry) stretched across the Intracoastal down around Morgan City a few years ago. Cable shaved off a slice of the helmet. He was doing about 70 and never saw the cable.

I feel for this guy's family and hope his kids are all right.

70 is extremely fast and dangerous for everyone. Especially on a narrow bayou (or otherwise restricted in area, ie. not a wide open lake).
