[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 438678, member: 15462"] 1. I came across this very scenario about 8 years ago - with the driver still in the water. We picked up the driver, then as best I could, matched the spin of his boat. He was able to jump on his boat and shut her down. Risky, indeed, but he was willing to try it. BTW - his kill switch was not attached to his arm/leg as it should have been. 2. This past week on Lake Conroe (north of Houston) there was a horrible accident in which both parents were killed, while the 12 year old daughter was on board but only suffered minor injuries. Th short version is: bass boat fishermen (2) were speeding back to the ramp for a weigh-in, in the dark, but apparently could not distinguish the difference between the other boat's running lights and the lake houses porch lights. They were going far too fast for the conditions - and almost cut the other boat in half. BOTH parents killed. Breaks my heart: [url]https://www.click2houston.com/news/father-killed-wife-and-daughter-injured-after-boat-crash-on-lake-conroe[/url] We need everyone back at the boat ramps safe. CMOS [/QUOTE]
