Just got off the water at South Windsor ramp and the north ramp had a few sheriff boats docked and Like 3 sheriff cars at the ramp. Anybody know what was up?

Thanks. I figured it may a boat vs. PWC. I had to dodge a few.
I went by a boat pulling a tube in the gorge. Really crazy. Tons of fast boats and real narrow. Accident waiting to happen
Saw a few young ones at Pirates alsoIve never seen so many under age operators as this weekend
Real bad.
Kids looked like 12 going thru the channel
All over thompson bay
It's been a growing pandemic since before "pandemic" was a commonly used word.also illegal once you pass the buoys. saw alot of towing in the gorge last summer
Happens to me every-time I go out. I just assume they are going to turn in front of me. I guarantee, if they turn in front of you and get hit, you will be sued for everything you own for years.I had a close call with a PWC at Lake Pleasant on Sunday. Dude just decided to turn right in front of me. Never looked to see if anyone was coming up on him. Scared the shit out of me and my passengers.

High risk behavior with all the craziness for sure. I live in Havasu and basically quit taking my 26 cat out. Way too much shit going on since Corona hit, it’s like SOCAL traffic 7 days a week on the lake now. Once the free money stops and the economy crashes the PWC problem will be minimized.This is the number 1 reason I don’t drink and boat!!!

He really never had a chance unfortunately based on his injuries, only upside to this is if his organs can go to someone else. Friend described what is what like when they told the parents, brutal.What Walt said. The kid passed away yesterday morning. His aunt (we are friends on social media) had posted it yesterday. Extremely unfortunate.
I posted this quote from the article I read about the incident, this was prior to hearing about the youngster passing away. Behavior on ANY watercraft is always a contributing factor, be it doing somthing wrong or averting a situation (heads up boating) I feel for the kids family and the poor guy/gal who was involved in the collision. Imagine a nice day on the lake and within seconds a life is taken due to behavior on a watercraft. Unfortunately, we will be reading more stories like this before the end of the season, wish I could be proven wrong."Speed and operation behavior of the personal watercraft appear to be contributing factors" Gee, go figure.
My second biggest complaint after PWCs operators is boaters too…I can not believe every time I go out on Havasu someone approaching in the opposite direction is on the wrong side and has no clue what their doing wrong. Playing chicken is not my idea of a good time.I posted this quote from the article I read about the incident, this was prior to hearing about the youngster passing away.

He didnt make it, tough night for all involved, ER nurses were pretty tore up and they are tough as nails.I hope the young man is going to be ok. Terrible ...
100% of the time ... if there is a PWC in front of me ... I am expecting it to make a left or right or u turn right in front of me.
Seriously ... I always expect it.
You'd be an idiot if you didn't think it was gonna happen ... cuz it always will ... almost all the time.
I always have to slow down and try to make eye contact with the driver before I pass or go closer.
Seems like the accidents on PWC are usually young peeps ...
Maybe a big decal on the dash that says " LOOK BEFORE YOU TURN"
