Jetski Ban

You're welcome. A little more on the accident... new info after talking to someone on the beach earlier. The jetski operator who hit the swimmer was NOT hotdogging at the time. He had gone over to that area to help some tourists who were having trouble/were stalled on their jetski. After helping them he turned around to head back to the beach so he was not flying by mindlessly. He's a young man who was scared & shocked at what had happened. The young man went from being a good samaritan to causing the death of a tourist in a matter of seconds. So sad all around. No new news on the family of the tourist who died. I think something like this was bound to happen eventually but it didn't happen the way most - myself included - seemed to think it would have played out.

Thank you for relaying, I feel terrible now for making assumptions. Bless his heart, can't imagine what he's feeling...
