Canoe & Kayak Scams Kills 1,000 Americans
This author believes canoe & kayak manufacturers are liable for the
"murder" of 1,000 paddlers because they don't install an "emergeny life raft" on their crafts. What a bunch of BULL****! I can just see a slew of class action lawsuits being filed and this guy being the plaintiff attorney's "expert" witness against canoe & kayak manufacturers, paddling schools, dealers, instructors, etc. Just like those overweight plaintiffs who are trying to sue or "blackmail" fast food companies to compensate them for making them fat. I sometimes have to shake my head and scream at all this nonsense in the USA about blaming someone else for their own stupidty. I read somewhere that in Mexico, when you step in a hole, they call you "stupid." In the USA, they call you a "millionaire." The personal injury scam fueled by crooked attorneys in this country has just run amuck. Whatever you do, don't buy this guy's book. ************************************ Canoe and Kayak Scam Kills 1,000 Americans -- New Book Details Ineffective Canoe and Kayak Safety Measures Perpetuated by Manufacturers PENETANGUISHENE, Ontario, Canada, July 29, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- The waters of life are filled with financial sharks. The public is generally protected against commercial scandals, however, author Tim Ingram feels there is a very important scandal occurring that is going unnoticed in the rushing waters filled with Enron scandals. In his book, Canoe and Kayak Scam Kills 1000 Americans: US Coast Guard Studies Device to Save Victims (now available through 1stBooks), Ingram discusses the inefficient safety measures and scam rescue training that has cost many people their lives. "This book specifically documents the murder of U.S. citizens in canoes and kayaks through an instruction scam to make money and kill innocent victims in the water. This book documents the method to lure victims into cool waters from which they cannot escape," Ingram states. This book is an expose and a postulation of an easy remedy to right the situation. According to Ingram, nearly 1,000 people have died in the United States from canoe and kayak accidents. Most of the victims died in the water from hypothermia because they could not get back in the canoe or kayak. "Canoes and kayaks are the deadliest boats in the world. They are extremely vulnerable to capsize and flooding," Ingram says. The fault, he notes, lies with the manufacturers. He feels they should have an emergency life raft attached to the kayak or canoe. He details how this device is easily and economically possible. Instead, he says, companies offer a cornucopia of rescue classes, which he finds ineffective and difficult. Many people are unable to perform these rolls, he notes, and remain in the water until they succumb to hypothermia, even in warm weather and wearing a lifejacket or other floatation device. "This book documents the selling of canoes and kayaks with reckless disregard for human life. Canoe and kayak 'safety' is Enron-style fraud, sold to make money for instructors and to sell all sorts of paraphernalia that increase the risk of death. Enron did not kill anyone," Ingram states. Ingram was a YMCA camp counselor and canoeing instructor nearly 40 years ago and owned numerous boats, canoes and kayaks. He has a number of U.S. patents for devices that effectively overcome hypothermia. Canoe and Kayak Scam Kills 1000 Americans is his first book. |
