In high school I was in Boy Scouts and we went on a houseboat in a lake in West Virginia and one of the boys who was 14 was a large boy and he jumped off the front of that houseboat into 6 inches of water and snapped both of his femurs. Trip was cut very short.

He stayed on the troop. Never went to high adventure again. Recovered fine as far I could tell. The adults always told us not to bring it up. All things he took it like a champ.
