If we didn't already know he sells the things, nothing I've seen in r.b.p would tell me he has a financial stake. With some spammers and trolls the best thing to do is killfile them, but past experience with Timmy shows that he only grows more long-windedly obnoxious (if you can believe it), until his account is terminated. Still, the less one speaks to him, or of him, or of sponsons, the better. You got that right. Please don't feed the sick puppy. -- Yours for accuracy in comdemnations, Steve Cramer Athens, GA |

And yet he does have a financial stake, and when all else is said and done, his only reason for being here is to drum up business for his product. Otherwise he could say what he has to say once, and be done with it. I really don't want to talk about him. I like to think I had a hand in getting rid of him last time and will work quietly to do the same this time. The group has been very enjoyable in the nearly three years he was gone. Mike Soja |

let's just say there's different opinion and let it go at that. Is the
last word that important? Tim Ingram wrote: Dear Mike: You are exactly the kind of person who would try to sell rolls and other deadly ideas to Girl Guides apparently.

(Paddler, Jan/Feb 2004, p.8, published by the ACA.) The wider kayaks and "sit-on-tops", are by far the most popular types of kayaks according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, over ten (10) times more popular than narrow or whitewater types, (reflecting users' choices, who find narrower craft too unstable). They are less deadly due to a wider beam. However if flooded, the "recreational kayaks", unlike the equally popular "sit-on-tops", do not have built-in sponsons. They cannot be pumped out due to the very large cockpit opening. The victims die when they cannot get out of the water (rate of body heat loss is 25 times the rate in air.) PFDs cannot magically get them out. Furthermore, deaths indicate that the "sit-on-top" types, that already have built-in sponsons, have insufficient sponson buoyancy for most victims to rescue themselves and not recapsize. (Sufficient sponson buoyancy is only possible through "automatic inflating sponsons" on the USCG website.) You are not only hurting sales of canoes and kayaks, you are hurting scouts and girl guides. What have they done to hurt you? Please have respect for the value of human life. And don't be verbally abusive below. It just makes you look mean to everyone.

Tim Ingram's Deadly Devices - avoid them like the plague
Gosh Tim,
Guess you haven't done much kayaking and canoeing. The hazards of kayaking and canoeing depend heavily upon the recent rainfall. A Class 2 run, like on the Main Eel in CA, can quickly become a heavy water Class 4 run overnight with 20-30 foot standing waves. What happens to small friendly creeks in hard rains is mindboggling. And not infrequently requires a minor miracle by a brave companion for rescue. Sponsons don't even begin to address the problems. A kayak whose sprayskirt has popped in such circumstances becomes an unmanueverable log, best left to its own devices by anyone who wants to survive to recover the kayak later - pushed ashore by a hardworking companion farther downriver. Canoing in big water is just plain crazy. Kayaking is believed to be the second-most dangerous sport after vertical rock climbing. (Only God knows where to rate the crazy snowboarders.) After 10 years of kayaking, 50 weekends (100 days) per year, I was amazed that we had had no deaths in our groups. I tended to thank the river gods often for being so forgiving of our reckless behavior. I'm sure that you have a garage-full of useless sponsons that you would like to palm off on some naive boaters. Curse you - for you will probably make them feel safer than they should. Your useless gadget will cause more deaths than it will prevent. John Adams "Tim Ingram" wrote in message ...

I've told you guys. Now the beast has woken!
Tim Ingram wrote: Dear PaddleWreck: This is a study, and I use responses like yours to investigate the psychology of making canoes and kayaks as dangerous as possible. The US Coast Guard BARD stats show that almost all dead victims (about a hundred yearly) with a range of 115 to 78 over the past 5 years, struggle on the surface for variable times, they don't sink immediately without a PFD. (See lifesaving stations on most city waterfronts. Most people are not wearing a PFD for a stroll, and the world lifesaving standard is some buoyant device, like a canoe with "automatic inflating sponsons.") There are some years when many more dead are wearing PFDs (2000)and other years (1999) when there are fewer dead but more of these dead are not wearing PFDs. The interesting thing is how easily canoes and kayaks can be made extremely safe. Safer than any other craft in fact; since sponsons are used by RESCUE PROFESSIONALS for Rescue Devices used in tricky water and ice rescues. But a canoe as shown in http://www.bconnex.net/~timkayak/canoe.html Or just Google "us coast guard canoe kayak safety" for the page, has far more speed, mobility and capacity, demonstrated by 2 little girls, 7 and 10. Now PaddleWreck, you want to make kids as unsafe as possible, and anyone else, apparently. Of course the World Champs at the Annual Greenland Rolling Championships use a busy powerboat to rescue all the champs who miss their roll. (Of course they miss their paddlefloat too since almost all propaganda says rolls are more reliable than paddlefloats! Check the book link above too: "Canoe and Kayak Scam Kills 1000 Americans: US Coast Guard Studies Device to Save Victims" This "bait and switch" scam, killing 1000 Americans in a decade, is circular and obvious: There is always a "Back-up" to the "deadly rescue" that just failed, the "deadly rescue" was supposed to be the back-up for the "back-up.") Easy to kill people! US Coast Guard report 071-01: "Canoes and kayaks have by far the highest fatality rates per million hours of exposure (.42) as any other boat type". (This figure may be far too low, considering the death statistics of the Ford/Firestone scandal, over a similar time frame, with many more vehicles, many, many more use/hours daily, and only 200 deaths.)

(Sufficient sponson buoyancy is only possible through "automatic inflating sponsons" on the USCG website.) In Canada, the death rate is much higher than the US, thanks to the Canadian Coast Guard covering up a study by a Canadian Search and Rescue Officer who found exactly the same sponson safety reported by the US Military Special Forces Kayaking Study (10th Airborne) in 1994. Result: About 500 Canadian canoe and kayak deaths. This study and others will stand with "Hitler's Willing Executioners" and Milgram's studies at Yale, regarding the darker aspects of humanity. You simply have no other instances of such a high death rate, easily remedied, by such a small "murder cult". I repeat what I stated in the above link: "There is plenty of "macho" ego, regarding instruction that no judge or jury can accomplish. There are however, plentiful arguments that the victims deserved to die, as a Darwinian perspective." Tim (Paddlec1) wrote in message ...

You are mistaken, sir! There is no such thing as a 'discussion' with the sick puppy. There is only feeding the sick puppy, and having it puke all over you. The best civilized course of action is to not feed the sick puppy. Please! John Kuthe... |
