Anybody have problems with inner tubes trying to kill them? Seem to happen to me all the time when I was younger. First time was upper Salt river. Seems they won't let you tube there any more. Nothing like watching people disappear as they go over or having a 4 or 5 foot log wedged across the river half way submerged. Second time was Mt. Lemon in snow on an unknown run with a 90 degree turn at the top of a 60' ledge, I really thought I could make that turn, fortunately I got knocked out when I hit the tree that was leaning over the ledge before I went over. Then forth and fifth times on water. Built a sail boat out of two large truck tubes and a car tube tied up like hot dogs and stretched over three legs with a twelve foot bamboo mast in a small lake with 30 MPH wind. First attempt to turn broke off the keel and when I threw out my 5 gallon bucket full of concrete anchor it sort of bounced across the water. Sure glad it didn't get me when I abandoned ship! The when I built a floating swim platform to use in a lake too big to swim across that I left outside after testing to make sure it would float, seems ants crawled up on it and little birds ate them making lots of little pin holes in the tubes that became apparent after I got to the middle of the lake. I never tried strapping them together, crawling inside and rolling down a hill just looked too dangerous!
