Oh I have and what's even worse is chances are anyone who is renting one of those things likely has no or very little clue not only on how to use what they rented but don't understand that even the most careful and seasoned captain can't just stop on dime or "put it in park" after they have a yard sale in the midst of all that congestion. I'm sure one day an accident will occur, it's just a matter of time. The sad thing is in these situations a little common sense goes a long way, the lack thereof demonstrated regularly is quite frightening.
