Families that floatie together stay together?

They say families that play together, stay together. The meaning is simple – spending time with each other strengthens the family bond. But what happens when you do more extreme bonding activities, like, say, riding on floaties?

Sure, it is summer finally and fun time gets even more fun, because you get to do all those things on or by the water. Adrenaline junkies gets extra excited, because there's so much you can do on the water, like waterskiing, kneeboarding, wakeboarding and so forth. Wanna do something with a group of adrenaline-junkie friends? You can ride on a water sled or, better yet, why not try the tandem towable tubes, like this quartet.

That sure looks like fun! The sun is shining, the water is great, life vests are on (you know, just in case), the boat is zooming across the water. What could possibly go wrong? It seems that the boat has reached the border of the safe space for water boarding and makes a sharp U-turn, making huge and dense waves across the water. Waves mean more fun, right? Well, the fun is cut short as the tubes hit the wave and one by one gets overturned, throwing the rafters in the water.

This could mean the beginning or the end of the fun. Depends whether your glass is half full or half empty.
