We're all glad no one was hurt. And there wouldn't be much to laugh about here if they had been injured or killed. But given that they are fine, it's pretty easy to see the humor in this -- especially given the vehicle involved.
So please, to suggest that we aren't allowed to poke a little fun at this because a member of this forum is related to the lakes region's latest winter aquanauts is beyond silly. Just my opinion.

Agreed. Moreover, to ask that this important story not be discussed is naive to the extreme. EVEN if people were hurt-in fact more so if people were hurt. The forum has a responsibility to at the very least elucidate the facts such as they are so that in the future these witless ideas are hopefully mitigated.
