I still think about that accident last year in Paugus Bay when that dad backed into his son, not knowing he was in the water. Hoping they have recovered
Got to say that the thought of these accidents have turned me into a safety fanatic. Motor shut down when anyone is in the water.....always count heads before starting up. Watching at 360 at all times when towing tubers and skiiers. Always looking for the unexpected.

Same here, I think about this one multiple times a day, and also regularly recall other less recent tragedies.
To your point about being a safety fanatic--twice this Summer inexperienced passengers have stood in a place/time on my boat that indicated that they had no idea how easy it would be to fall. I got them down in time, but it was my bad.
