    Any advanced jet ski drivers on here?

    Q 1: come round corner at 80 km in river to find wall of logs. Lift off gas and start to smash what do you do?
    I hit the gas just om impact leaned out of the way of a log spear landed on top slid sideways down the pile landed on my side in the river gassed it again then stopped choking full of water. Ok but is there a standard method to handle this without doing that ?

    That seems wise VC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Gun it into a somersault with a full twist Happy. Don't know if it would work but man think about the praise and adulation if it did and the blaze of glory you would go out in if it didn't.

    I don't know the answer but in the meantime could you get one of those helmet cams so we can all have a laugh.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
