Heck, some people die just swimming for leisure or simply trying to cross the street ..shoveling snow in the winter or going up into an attic during the hot summer months. Dangerous world out there. Always think about what you’re doing before actually doing it. I am, in no way, promoting the action of swimming out to retrieve your (or anyones) toy boat, under any circumstance. This was my boat, my decision, and my life. Not yours. Thanks for watching - new Rocket Video coming soon!Last edited by woods153; 06-09-2022, 11:23 AM.Comment

Your boat, your decision, and your life. Don't waste it saving a $200-$300
boat no matter how cool it is or how much you like it. Smart people anticipate flips, dead batteries, or any other of the NUMEROUS problems that happen when running a R C boat. Fishing pole with tennis ball, secondary retrieval RC boat, inflatable raft. Looks bad for the hobby when somebody dies at the hands of a model boat. Wouldn't want to see new laws enacted against them. Get pissed if you want, but please take it more seriously.Comment

I've swam in the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean Sea, if you can't swim then it time for a life jacket or swimming lessons. I also jumped off a 50 foot cliff and that was exhilarating.Comment

I guess the thing you haven't considered is when someone else has seen your video and then goes swimming after their boat not being a good swimmer or having some other difficulty, swims in cold water or such like and drowns.
It is about setting an example.
Not swimming after your toy boat even has a whole thread here on OSE. People drown every year swimming after boats, and I guarantee you that every person who drowned trying to rescue their boat never thought it would happen to them.NZMPBA 2013, 2016 Open Electric Champion.
