Mr. V.....first of all I am a a younguns, myself..... and believe that there is only so much stupidity you can protect people from. However I want to note somethings after watching your video.

1) it appears you where the only boat on the lake. Its not to hard to keep things safe when you have all the room in the world to work with.

2) well you seem to be getting nice air and cruising quite nicely though the air, there didn't seem to be a lot of wind.

In short what I am saying here, is sure these things can be safe. But when most people want to use them on the weekends, when the lakes are crowded, safety and prdictability are main concerns. And once that tube is in the air the only control is for the boat to slow down. Throw in the wind to push you around some and the probability of you going where another boater doesn't think your headed increases significatly. Maybe your the type that thinks these things through and doesn't go out when it is busy but plenty of people don't think about things all the way through.
