Has anyone else had a similar experience? Why would anyone do this on purpose? It makes me think twice about taking my young nephew and nieces out tubing if someone is out there deliberately jeopardizing tubers safety.

I was out last weekend and was coming towards a small channel near where I live. There was a boat coming towards me so at no wake speed and I slowed down and did the same. (there's just a little more than enough room for boats to pass through here safely anyways). That worked out fine but the bonehead that was coming up behind me at full throttle must of had other ideas. He finally throttled down about 15-20 feet from us. For a minute, we were all looking back wondering if he was going to stop at all.
I sat on the dock and watched boat traffic yesterday and said outloud, "there are going to be some real serious accidents this year".
