I understand what Hill Country is saying. There are few really true accidents, most are a chain of unintended events, decisions made or not made that lead to a tragedy and in most cases they are foreseeable and preventable. Lessons Learned. But now is not the time for recriminations as I am sure everyone is overcome by this family's loss. It is as someone else mentioned, "my worst nightmare", so much so that I made a decision a long time ago that I would never pull anyone behind my boat. I could not take it if anything happened to my grandson while I was pulling him. So easy decision for me.
