7yo boy in critical condition after being thrown onto shore from inflatable tube
they do this every christmas out front where i live, great fun but very dangerous
maybe 7 is too young?
the boats travel really fast in order to get the ring thing to fly off the waves.
those 'riding' more like hanging on for dear life, eventually get thrown off.

Same here on the lake and the river where they use ski boats that can get up to 80 kms along with the jet skis
that go flying up and down.
There have been numerous incidents with those riding on them being thrown of hurting themselves simply
because the boat is going to fast and the can't hang on.

Poor kid.
Bad parenting. Bet it was his dad.
How much strength does a 7yo have to hang on at speed?
Hope he comes through alright.
