***CONSUMER WARNING***

Post by FutureThunderbird » Mon Jul 03, 2006 12:44 pm

Okay first of all I don't know how many of you have ever had the chance to go tubing, but if you have you know that falling off from 2ft above the water going 20mph can smart a little. Now watch this video...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 2661557160 (note you have to get to the end of the video)

Now remembering that falling off going 20mph at 2ft can hurt, now imagine falling off at that height going that fast. There have been numerous deaths and injuries from this product and it just sickens me.

My neighbors almost bought this product which is how I found out about it, and although it may look fun at first, breaking your neck is not fun.

Sorry if none of you really care about this, I just had to get it off my chest.
