Not exactly a smart thing to do either IMHO. Even in the best of circumstances it's still risky due to the water temps. That's all I was implying. Think about it if they heaven forbid had some mechanical failure and the boat and skier got separated? Probably not likely to happen, in the same way I bet those guys who went out fishing in that jon boat didn't expect what fate awaited them either.
