On this past saturday we were up at moonridge and heard a lot of sirens going up 95 towards havasu springs. I then spoke to a firefighter and he told us about an accident up on the lake. Do you have any info on that? I am just curious.

Thanks so much!

Thanks, my kids are 13 and over, and there is the right of passage of "not having to wear the life vest anymore!" Just wanted to be sure:D

Hey Moonridge, where is your place at. My parents have a home in Moonridge 1 on back street towards south gate.
Fyi a kid fell on the dock and possibly fractured his leg so they closed highway to land a helicopter. :frown:

Tyson got it. A kid fell on the dock (not boat related) and sufferred an angulated femur fracture.
(Fu%*ing OW!)
12 and under must wear PFDs at all times in the boat. Same in CA, UT, NV, and just about everywhere else. It's also a Federal Law, so it applies off-shore, too.
