i dont really think its any worse then regular tubing to be honest. its not like you really would fall much further then 10 feet, how much speed could it possible add to the already 40+ mph your already going. Falling off of a tube doesn’t really hurt all that much, especially in fresh water(less dense).

My room mate bought one of those for $700 off ebay. Ive seen them range from $600-$1100. You CAN still buy them but you can only get them from individuals, you are not allowed to buy them from businesses. The only reason they are dangerous is because of ignorance. When you but it, YOU NEED TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! A lot of boat driver hit the gas more once the rider catches air in hopes to get them higher. One the driver NEEDS to do is slow down a little to control the hight. If you use common sense, then its not _that_ dangerous. I cant wait for the weather to warm up so I can use it :tup:
