This post comes from the old Model Marina Discussion Board and we have PaintChip to thank for passing on this information. This comes from a MIAMI news paper on May 30 2006.
Man drowns trying to save toy boat MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida man drowned after jumping onto an inflatable raft and paddling out to the middle of a lake to try to retrieve a stalled, radio-controlled toy boat, police said Tuesday. Another toy boat punctured the raft, causing it to deflate rapidly, and the 31-year-old victim could not swim, Miami-Dade Police said. The accident occurred Monday evening at a park northwest of Miami where the victim and several friends were racing the remote-controlled boats. "I think it was all purely accidental. It's a fluke," said Detective Joanne Duncan. I would like to add, "If you can't swim, at least wear a life jacket!" Good story and we need to heed it's warning, sad though. -------------------- |
