Jetskier Decapitated!

[LHC30Victory]

Anytime someone dies in a boating accident it is a terrible event and we have some sad news from our "left" coast but I don't think we can top this one :idea:
A Long Island man on a Jet Ski was decapitated after striking a sailboat's anchor line in Great South Bay last evening, police said.
John Wilson, 34, of North Babylon, L.I., and another man were riding the watercraft near Squaw Island about 5:15 p.m. when tragedy struck, cops said.
Wilson hit an anchor line dropped by Paul Harding of Massapequa Park, whose sailboat had run aground in Wansers Cut, police said. Harding, who was below deck when the accident occurred, was waiting for high tide so he could sail again.
Nassau County Police Department's Marine 6 transported Wilson's body to shore.
The medical examiner's office will perform an autopsy at Nassau University Medical Center.
Wilson's companion was not injured.

and another from OSO:
Young girl swimming between two boats got her head crushed when the boats slammed together from wave action. Life flighted from our dock late SAT afternoon. Conley Bottom Resort, Lake Cumberland, KY. Same day a teenage boy on a tube got a pierced in the neck by a driftwood stick. Ambulance from the dock to hospital.

Hate to hear of these stories, but there is something to be learned by each one

Anybody hear something? Boing goes the anchor line.

[Tom Brown]

That would be something to be sitting on the deck of your sailboat, relaxing, and have a disembodied head roll onto the deck.
I'd want to shoot the eyes out with a paint ball gun. ... damn jetskiers. :mad:

Someone suggested that we start calling anchor lines "Darwin's Harpstring." :crossx:

[HOSS]

Thats gotta hurt just watching.

[Boatcop]

Autopsy???
Hell. I don't even need to look at the body to tell what killed him.

Think of all the ghost stories drinkers will tell about the headless jetskier haunting the Great South Bay area after dark OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kinda like the headless horsemen only not.
The sailboater won't ever be lacking for names for any new boats he gets:
* Heads You Lose
* Heads Up!
* What Was That?
* Did You Hear Something?
* Headhunter
* Little Off The Top

[MsDrmr]

gotta agree with the one above, why perform an autoposy? are they checking for blood-alcohol level or what? :confused:

LMAO
Jesus Christ Dan, you are a cold piece of work. When I saw this thread I didn't expect to see any simpathy for the guy but that was some funny sh..

[SmokinLowriderSS]

I'll be sympathetic to the sail-boater. Da*n jet-skiers with out enough brains to stay away from a boat. Probably thought they'd make a pass and try spraying his deck. Well, didn't use his brain much before, uses it even less now. :shift:

Darwin's Harpstring, I REALLY like that one. :D Definite creativity.
Or, just paint a mini-jetski silhouette on the side of the bow, and a hash-mark next to it.
Now for the "PC" moment. :idea:
"Just goes to show how insideously and inherently dangerous anchor lines are. They should be outlawed. If not outlawed, they need to be fitted with lights along their entire length, a 120 decibel continuous warning siren when one is deployed, bright colored (blaze orange comes to mind (except that "hunters" use it)) streamers, 2 inches wide and nighttime reflective, at least 3 feet long must be dangled from the anchor line every 4 inches for the entire above water section to include a 2 foot depth in case of changes in exposure level."
Now that THAT is over, I need a shower. The "PC" crap just makes me feel so soiled. Filthy. :hammer2:
