Yup. If you have ever gone down, cracking the whip on a ski rope, you
know the feeling. You bounce once or twice, then you break the surface
tension and go down, just like a rock.

Been there and done that. More than once. At least I was wearing a wet suit and a foam vest. That helped. But still felt like I got beat up.

I learned how to ski in the Chesapeake Bay. The whole objective is to
NEVER actually get in the water and falling is the worst case
scenario. If you land in a clump of sea nettles and you are one hurtin
puppy. Ski out off the dock and try to land in the boat or ski up on
the beach.
