A 28 year old woman died last Saturday after falling off her wakeboard in a Central Florida Lake. Apparently, after she fell, a separate boat came by and chopped her up with it's propellers! That sucks dude. Now granted, the water was a bit choppy because there was a storm on the horizon but damn, if you're operating a motor boat on a lake full of other motor boats and skiers and wakeboarders, you'd think to have a look out for others in the water. You can't tell me that the props happen to 'strike' the wakeboarder. Last time I checked they were BEHIND the boat, so the dumb bastard must have ran her over first.

Is this sport becoming more of a liability? I guess that's why they call it an extreme sport. It's stories like this that will give a negative conotation to the sport. I can just see it, parents will be taking their kids out of wakeboard camps and what-not. I sympathize for this woman, but maybe the moron behind the wheel of the boat should be charged for SOMETHING.
