Everyone- Please be carefull..
I was barefooting yesterday here in StCharles, Il.- off my boom -with a 5 foot line and handle. boat was up to speed when I stepped out of the boat, and made my way out to the end of the boom. The handle flipped around and landed around my neck while full-speed barefooting..... I was lucky enough to pull it off my head before falling..
I cant imagine what would have happened if I hit the water at 38mph with a rope around my neck. My girlfriend and a few others saw everything from the boat. My girlfriend is still traumatized.
Just everyone please be carefull.. A perfect day can turn gruesome in the blink of an eye.
