First time for everything

[CBINMN]

Went to the lake today to take kids tubing. Having a great time and suddenly see something strange. It was a 19 or 20 ft boat towing a 14 ft aluminum boat very fast with 2 people in the 14 footer. Doesn't end there though, there was a ski rope and skier attached to the 14 ft boat also. Last I saw they made it back to shore. Hopefully common sense prevailed and they didn' try that again.

Nothing like towing your backup boat along , just joking. They had some horse power in that big boat. Still a dumb idea.

OK, I'm sitting here trying to put this all together.
Possible/Plausible scenerio;
Skier falls, Spotter in small boat signals spotter in big boat, big boat throttles down, small boat keeps going, big boat turns, small boat keeps going until all slack is out of tow rope! Bow of small boat is ripped around at sharp angle!
You didn't say if 14', was under power, but if it wasn't ------
That is truly something scary!

Yup, definitely a Kodak moment...too bad.
As much as I try to think up weird things to do just to screw with peoples heads, I am truly humbled.
