re: Tiki tubing drowning victims were found. So sad.

LPSO needs to ban alcohol from the river (tragic, I know) and we wouldn't have these drownings.

GTFO.

I heard they climbed trees and dove into the river and drowned

We used to jump from the river banks on the Bogue Chitto while on tubing trips back in high school. Some of the drop offs were more than 25'. One of my buddies slipped at the edge of the ledge one time and came up short of the water and hit a stump. He popped up like it was nothing and was ok. Looking back at it now, we're fortunate that none of us were seriously injured.

if you are talking about the bogue chitto in mccomb, my family owns the camp on the big bluff everyone jumps off of. I cant tell you how many times over the years they have had to airlift people out of there. Broken backs, necks, limbs, etc. People have drown, alot of bad things happen when teens, alcohol, and water are involved

thats it. They had the Wildlife and Fisheries agents arresting people the last time we went. They were on a road at the top and would put you in cuffs when you got to the top.

Even on these rivers without any rapids the water is still really powerful.

Hell yeah it is. We had 3 of us standing on it and it wouldn't budge an inch.

Also we used a swiss army knife to saw the one of the branches off. Thats why it took so long.

Thanks for the translation, fellas!

I'll never understand how people can type jibberish like that and not give a shite that they look like they have the education of a fire hydrant.

I went 9 days ago, and it was crazy high and the current was FAST. I heard 2 sets of people screaming bloody murder. Some people were tethered together and the trees sticking up in the middle would catch the rope and pull the tubes under water. They said they saved 3 people from drowning with the boat. I knew someone was going to drown eventually.. I was thinking women and children had no business being out there, but it looks like nobody should have been.
