re: another boating death....

Did it all the time growing up. I wouldn't pull anyone in a tube on those kinds of rivers though (such as Tickfaw). Too narrow and trees everywhere.

yeah thats why i said this doesnt matter.. just saying i wouldnt personally. Accidents happen and this is horrible.

This happened near my cousins camp in Cocodrie several years back. Guy getting pulled on a tube in Bayou Little Calliou hit a tree or something. We saw the boat pulling him go behind the camp and commented on how dangerous it was to be pulling in that bayou. A few minutes later we heard the Hellicopter Landing to take him to the hospital. I think he died on the scene. Bayous and rivers just aren't the best place for water sports like that. Especially if there is a lot of boat traffic. I know people do it all the time. We did it when we were younger. Now that I'm a bit older, I see the dangers though. Very sad.
