People climb mountains, water and snow ski, sky dive, race all sorts of things, and do all sorts of dangerous activities that can injure and kill them.

If someone picks a quiet spot on the lake and does some playing around why is that anyone's concern but theirs?

If they do it near people they should be arrested. They are supposed to use discretion. That is true in many aspects of our lives. We can drive down the highway at 65 MPH perfectly legally but not down Main Street at the same speed. Yes there are laws but any fool should know the difference.

Behavior on the water puts far more responsibility on the operator of a vehicle to use common sense than does a car driver. Car driving has all sorts of signs,markers, etc to define proper behavior. Boating's primary rule is "Don't hit anyone else". It's a very broad rule.
