bungee jumping, sky diving, snowboarding, soccer, baseball etc are all
ordinarily survivable.
sucking in CO fumes almost directly from the exhaust port usuallly is
not.
it is what it is chuck - just another grandstand play by some small
time politician making a name for themselves under the guise of public
safety.
its bull**** of the first order and just another way to produce
revenue along the way.
Chuck,
The reason teak surfing is popular is very few people who do it are killed
or end up in the hospital. If 25% - 50% of the people who teak surfed
died, it would no longer be popular.
Yes there are some who do die or go to the hospital, but the vast majority
survive, and if the CO damages brain cells, they are too stupid to realize
it.
I really don't care if they make it illegal, but any parent who owned a
boat and did not let the kids know the danger is just as dumb as the kids.
Drugs are illegal and they are still used and abused.
I for one wished they would legalize all drugs. All illegal drugs do is
create a very profitable business for criminals, force drug users to
commit crimes to support their expensive habits and divert police
resources to fight a war we will never win. It didn't work for alcohol,
it isn't working for drugs.
It also make for a bigger class of criminals, once convicted, the guvmint
gets more and more control over you.
Making Teak Surfing illegal will not eliminate teak surfing anymore than
making drugs illegal eliminated drug abuse.
