Deadly Pontoon Accident In Minnesota
AITKIN COUNTY, MN (trfnews.i234.me) A man has died after falling off a pontoon on Big Sandly Lake in Aitkin County, Minnesota. The driver of the pontoon was arrested.
When I was 21 my friend and I were out at night in the middle of a lake (Wisconsin) in a pontoon boat drunk (just us), we got going pretty fast and I went to the front to mess with the lights whereby i fell in and was swept under the boat, by some miracle my hand shot up in the nick of time and grabbed a bar on the front and i was able to hold on against the flow for a few seconds until my friend caught on and stopped the boat. It took a few years for me to fully realize how close i came. It could have been me dead and my friend arrested.
I lost a friend being hit by the prop.When doing a turn the steering wheel broke and because he was sitting on the side of the boat, he fell overboard and was stuck- this brought back a painful memory π
Prayers to all involved God bless everyone.
Sorry to his family for their loss!
Now let us remember that it's not gun's that kill everybody. And drinking does not kill everybody. So let's not place the death toll on gun's , drinking , automobile's , knife's and what ever.
IT'S PEOPLE WHO KILL PEOPLE !!!!.
You fall overboard on the front of a pontoon while it is moving at any speed whatsoever, you get hit by the prop – period. Doesn't matter if whoever was at the wheel was drinking alcohol or orange juice. Of course, someone must be to blame.
So sad
How u die in a pontoon?
I thought it said, "poontang"πππ
Their is a think called a "kill Switch" for a reason, He could of cut the engine out, But did he see the guy fall in with people onboard blocking his view? No matter what he should of killed the engine and not his mate..
When I first glanced at the headline, I thought it read "poontang." It made me stop and read it again. Was I the only one?
Thank god the dumb a** riding on the front of the pontoon with not be reproducing.
Alcohol by far is the worst drug on earth because it seems so innocent.
This is a perfect example of how a fun time can turn tragic and life altering !!! His friend is dead and he could end up in prison…….drinking is NOT worth the damages caused !
My deepest condolences.
The T is silent on Aitkin…
I wondering if something like that happens to any of these people again and they think they might be at fault somehow if they call 911 again?
Whereβs Waldo? To early?
Prayers for his loved ones. What an awful situation.
Rest in Peace π
