If you ever end up being paralyzed you will find yourself in need a LOT of care. That care is going to cost you a LOT of money. The way you will get that money is legal action against anyone and everyone that might have insurance and/or deep pockets.
So the best thing to do is never, ever invite anyone to go for a boat ride with you. It's a sad world we live in, isn't it?
