Re: [Paddlewise] Duck kills Jet skier!

This unfortunately does not qualify for the Darwin Award, because most
people do not think doing 55mph qualifies as mindless stupidity!

We kayakers however know better...

And I wonder how fast he was *really* going. 55mph sounds kind of slow, when
100+mph jetskis exist.

Thanks for the link. I loved it! (in a morbid kind of way, because nobody
should have to die like that)

Dang it... can't think of any good jokes about this... at least none that
would be in good taste (although flies do stir a faint glimmer of thought,
for some reason)
