OOPS! WHAT WENT WRONG?

  • He didn't check or service his jet ski before going to the lake.
  • He went out on the lake alone.
  • He didn't make a plan and follow it, so no one knew exactly where he was as he went exploring.
  • There were signs that the jet ski wasn't acting right, but he ignored them.
  • He forgot to pack the emergency equipment and tools onto the ski.
  • He performed some stunts at faster speeds than he normally attempted them and was thrown 30 feet from the jet ski.
  • The jet ski's battery was corroded and the vehicle would not start, leaving him stranded in the middle of the lake, 5 miles from his truck.
  • Without a paddle, he was forced to swim to shore with his jet ski in tow.
  • He had no shoes and had to walk miles on razor sharp clams, which sliced up his bare feet.
  • A lightning storm moved in (he had failed to check weather reports), making the situation even more dangerous.
  • He forgot his cell phone, so had no way to call for help.
