One of my closest friends bought a new 19 SPX last month and yesterday was the first day he was taking the family out tubing. They headed to the lake first thing in the morning, but I had things to do in the morning, and agreed to meet them at our slips at 2pm. I got there early and was surprised to see them in their slip, unloading all the gear. I also noticed their nephew wasn't with them and I thought he was going to join them.
Turns out nephew Jake, a 22 year old athlete who is a top notch snow skier, gym rat and amateur MMA fighter, was in the emergency room with a suspected torn MCL in his knee after wiping out on the tube. They were going in a straight line, about 25 mph and he simply caught an edge leaving the wake, slid off the tube sideways and BAM! turn MCL.
