The association, the lawsuit says, allowed Tonn to drive drunk, failed to
monitor and control watercraft on the lake, failed to ensure that boaters
complied with the Nebraska Safe Boating Act and allowed unsafe boat
operation though they had knowledge it was going on.

So it sounds like he didn't get sloshed at a bar operated by the
association.

Now the plaintiff will have to convince a jury that somebody in charge
knew the boater was drunk and had the power to stop him from operating
his boat but failed to do so. That will be a much tougher sale.

Not always that noticable when someone is drunk, but towing a tube
with no lookout on board might be an angle. If someone had noticed
that, and pulled him over, this could have ended much differently.
