This is sad, it looks and feels like fun but sledding is so dangerous. :( :pray:

I read he was riding a kayak.  People had been doing it all day.  Just one of those things I guess.

I can remember doing some of those stupid things with my friends back in my younger years in Iowa. We would get an old tire and rope and tie it behind a vehicle and then pull someone on the tire. How one of us wasn't killed or badly injured is beyond me.

I know.
We all should have died doing stupid things.
That's what makes everyone ask, "Why?".   :dunno:

I agree. With all the stupid stuff I did as a kid, it is a wonder I made it to adulthood. Riding my bike off a cliff before I learned how to steer properly is foremost in my mind.

This is a terribly tragic thing that happened doing what most of the time we would consider an innocuous act. My prayers for this young man's family.  :pray:
