So sad.

Just another reminder: DON'T use them!

 

And if you don't you will be killed/hurt by one when swimming/wading in the water :sleep:

why ??  there are numerous sectioned off areas with pontoons where jet skiers cannot obviousy venture inside. I use jet skis all the time and am incredibly careful when turning and twisting. All the time checking over shoulder as to whom is around.

Am still at a loss how the jet ski landed on him. I consider it impossible to be honest. Unless you have used them you will not appreciate that comment. Users will

The news article doesn't actually say anything about George riding a jet ski himself. In fact it's not clear at all but it could be he was just a swimmer who was run over...

      Car Plunges Off Chalongrat Expressway, Killing One

      One other obvious observation: The driver is not at fault, in any case. It is Big G. What is Big G? Put simply: What goes up, must come down. Also, the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. If ONLY this driver had been driving on the Moon, he need not have had such a hard landing, as on planet Earth. So, choose your planet wisely, anytime you decide to drive off an elevated bridge...I guess....is the lesson here.

      Trump Goes Full Racist

      Stopping the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the opposite of creating a hot war. BTW, if Trump called up his friend Putin, and told Putin to get out of Ukraine, he would win the election easily. But Trump won't do that.

      Trump Goes Full Racist

      This is called "deflection". It's also called "nonsense". You seem determined to make noise on any topic that shows Trump in a bad light. A reasonable person might say "poor choice of words" and move on. But, you can't do that.

      Are all Aussie Sheilas really that ugly?

      I once went on an Oz military base and the red headed girl behind the counter in the canteen was stunningly DDG- then she opened her mouth and started talking- so much for that short lived crush.

      Project 2025 - What Is It?

      Hurricane Helene Project 2025 would ‘unequivocally’ lead to more hurricane deaths, experts warn Under Project 2025, authored by numerous former Trump officials but disavowed by the former president himself, the federal forecasting of severe storms and aid given to shattered towns and cities would be drastically scaled back. Emergency management officials say the cuts would severely worsen the outcomes from a storm like Helene.

      Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?

      The "movement" is founded by it's infamously dishonest, gullible, weird leader Donald J. Trump. Should anyone expect anything else?. The question is akin to inquiring if Fox "news" is a reputable, reliable news organization. As Fox executives have testified in court, they are not.

      Project 2025 - What Is It?

      Conservative Project 2025 Would Leave Hurricane Helene Survivors with Little Aid The conservative blueprint for a second Trump administration calls for weakening the government's response to disasters by slashing public rebuilding money and dissolving federal flood insurance. That could deprive survivors of disasters like Hurricane Helene of the financial help they need to rebuild their homes as rising temperatures and expanding development magnify the costs of catastrophes across the United States.

      Khon Kaen MP accused of 431 million baht embezzlement

      Amazing how Thai officials including politicians steal vast sums of money. The excuses offered in defence are often laughable. The question is how officials with such low intelligence could steal such huge amounts of money in the first place.
