Reminder to be careful

[4x15mph]

With UBER CEO having to step down, I am just learning of his recent mom's death from a boating accident. Sounds like they hit a rock and the mom was killed and the father suffered injuries. Found a picture of the boat here: http://media.nbcnewyork.com/images/Boat210.jpg

Reminder that we have to be careful with obstructions, etc. and its these unplanned accidents where the life vest helps. My wife made me put on ours yesterday and I am glad she has more common sense than me

Terrible. I was picturing a different boat before clicking the link when you said it was mother of the CEO of Uber.

I recall the story being reported when it happened but only just read the account of how. Check this out, especially if you don't think it could happen to you.

@MattFX4 , I thought the same thing when I heard the story and saw "UBER CEO" as well but also remember that there are or were several CEO members here and have met/boated with one that has a 2013 242 LS and loves it as his first and only boat, at the time.

We had someone at one of our local lakes hit the bridge at night and then the boat ran aground. Looks like a Yamaha 230. Last I read that had suffered serious injuries.
