3 years agoLake Minnetonka is big but not big enough to not swim to shore…so he falls out and just stays there instead of swimming up to one of the houses. There is no vacant land on that lake and it's surrounded by homes. He's an extra level of dumb and should not be allowed in another boat alone unsupervised again.

3 years agoThat boat should be new enough to have a factor kill switch. Either way should've had it before he even went out

3 years agoIt’s actually a state law In Minnesota starting this year if you are operating a boat under power you’re supposed to have the tether switch attached to your body in some way…. Do I do it ? No but I’m careful in my boat not to make a dumb decision

3 years agoSo instead of preaching on how not to fall out of a boat, you're going to help fix it after you fall out of the boat. Rule number 1 for boating, stay in the boat

3 years agoMost boats come with a kill switch you attach to your wrist and very few use them. I’m guilty myself

3 years agoWhy didn't he swim to shore. 1 hour you just stay in freezing water. Good job to the rescue boat or he'd a died.
