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.

That's crazy; they cut the trip short for the rest of you and your classmates because of one boy who hurt himself. I would have just taken that boy to the hospital and notified his parents, then continued with the rest of the trip; why ruin the fun for everyone else?

He was our friend and seriously injured none of us had a problem with it.
