Such a shame. But from what I see in a lot of areas around here, I'm
surprised it doesn't happen more often.

It is a shame. I blame a lot of it on the way they are advertised and
promoted, but where are the parents in all this? It's one thing for
25 year olds to run around in circles like a bunch of mindless bozos,
but 14 and 15 year olds?

Hard to say exactly what contributed to this accident. All the brief
report says is that there was apparently a collision. Doesn't say
anything about people running around in circles like a bunch of
anything - let alone "mindless bozos."

Swimming with my kids at the island on Rogers lake as I have done for
years, now we got water mosquitoes running off the edge of the island
at about 20 yards out at a full 50 mph. Also noted at least 7
different drivers on two particular machines including what must have
been girlfriends and little brotheres and sisters, I seriously doubt
that all of these kids had the licence required in this state. Then of
course there was the guy who kept stopping in front of us to turn
around in a little circle till the machine kinda fizzeled out into a
drift and then gave it gas and left again... What's with that?
