I just read this and couldn't help but to thing what bad boating is.

Take two 14 ft aluminum boats tie them together out somewhere in the lake
and put 12 people in them.

Isn't that just wrong to start with, no matter what the other dangers are?

Bad idea to have six people in a 14 foot boat.

Bad idea to be fishing with more than 3 people, at least in my boat,
although maybe some people like crowds, and hooks in their arms.

Bad idea to be in a boat with or without a vest if you can't swim. The
article said the first guy "entered the water" with a life jacket on, which
makes it sound like he was conscious. If so, why couldn't he paddle back to
the boat? Drunk? Morbidly obese? Both?

Bad idea to take anyone in your boat who is the dullest crayon in the box.
Too many weird things can happen, and everyone needs to be able to think
fast and do smart things.

So...yeah. Bad boating.

I would thing that morbibly obese folks
would float well, no ? Maybe had to
climb back into the boat, but they would't
sink would they ?
