Safety Reminder (Bad accident at Toledo Bend today)

[skiptomylu]

Guys and gals keep your head into what your doing while driving your boat! Today some guy actually hit a bridge column just across from my house and that was not all, it threw his wife out of the boat and she got hit by the prop. I am not sure how many places she was hit, but at least one large like 6"x6" out of her upper back. She was bad enough that they didn't want to move her to the helicopter pad at the fire station which is probably only a couple miles from the boat ramp. So they had the chopper land right there at the ramp to air lift her.

Can't imagine having something like that happening! So be safe and keep alert on the water guys and gals!

Prayers sent, man thats terrible. Wonder if something broke on the controls??

From what I heard, which is far from positive, he just must have not been paying enough attention and hit that column which is not hard to miss them. There is plenty of room between them.
What a shame! May God Bless her as is sounds like she needs help.

What a shame. Go out to have a fun day on the water and have some life altering accident! Be careful everyone, if doing something that will distract you, stop the boat by all means.

That's terrible Skip. Some folks are zoom-zoom on the water for some reason in which I don't understand. I really don't see the point. Crying shame for sure.

all bridge that have piers in the water should be no wake through all of them. You see this happen far to often. I almost always show down when I go under them and Im sure I will be more likely to after this... Prayers sent
