eekuasepinniW Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Some guy went skimming down the entire length of the Weirs channel on a snowmobile while towing a water skier. I saw his first pass without the skier, but didn't get out of my chair for his second. This used to be a really common activity until it was made illegal. Fish and game are going after them.

SJonesWX Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 agree with dendrite. after the 4 deaths earlier this month on the lakes, F&G is on high alert and very sensitive to this type of illegal activity. I am sure it is fun for the participants, but the first responders who might have to fish a dead body out of the lake probably feel differently.

I would not want to fall on the ice, or in the 32degree water for that matter. There are tons of skimming videos out there. People do this with sleds quite a bit.

tamarack Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 12 hours ago, Damage In Tolland said: Ski season to Maine has been decimated Probably had to close the sledding hill off Essex Street. Nearest ski area is more than 50 miles from there. A co-worker said the X-C skiing was great this past Saturday; he was using central Maine snomo trails, and the sleds had left a well-groomed surface with enough "bite" to allow hill climbs without needing to herringbone.

I've done it a few times on a snowmobile over short distances... and very small bodies of water (basically glorified puddles). I wouldn't do anything that actually could put myself or others in harm. The water was only a couple feet deep at best. Ultimately...people do stupid and dangerous stuff. The choice is yours, but sometimes there are consequences. Even something like skiing is no different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who do this are risking not only their lives (fine if that's what you want to do) but risking the lives of the first responders who put themselves at great risk to fish these idiots out of the lake.

While thats understood to an extent.....That is what a first responders job is lol. Whether its a horrible accident or an idiot, they signed up to help/rescue those in distress.

Sadly, there is no distinction between saving someone who is Darwin-award worthy and someone who is victim of an accident. If someone knowingly risks their life by breaking laws, or not following an ounce of common sense, I wish first responders did not have to save them. Or at least they get a hefty bill sent their way.

If someone knowingly risks their life by breaking laws, or not following an ounce of common sense, I wish first responders did not have to save them. Or at least they get a hefty bill sent their way. In theory, what is the difference between an idiot going 85 on the highway, loses control and crashes into the Tolland trees off I84 vs someone who goes the speed limit and does the same thing? One is breaking the law while the other is not, yet the end result is the same...do we "wish we didnt have to save" the speedster? Does the law abiding citizen deserve to be saved more? My point is, its not a perfect world so people need to get off their high horse where we pick and chose who is worthy. Helicpoter rescues happen when rock climbers or hikers slip up and fall or whatever. Or extreme skiiers in avalanche prone areas of the world. Half the people will say "they shouldnt have been there in the first place", so do we not rescue them? If someone is doing something illegal, we chase them down, if need be we rescue them, then we slap the handcuffs on and throw them in the slammer, if they live. Thats reality and its always been that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
