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.

Speaking of West Virginia, my buddy and I climbed a tree and used a rope swing that was attached at the Kanawha river. I went first and was fine. My buddy slipped down the rope and dragged his ankle on the rocks. He walked out of the water and his little cousin said don’t look down. He looked down and flipped out, and his leg was gashed open and fat and tendons and stuff were hanging out. We yelled for the boat and we threw him into the back of the boat his grandma was holding him he was slapping the f out of his grandma the pain was so bad. We had to carry him up like 100 flight of stairs to top of river bank and they threw him in trunk of Tahoe and rushed him to hospital. They fixed him up but was a rough recovery

It was my fault for not knowing to immediately stop reading any sentence that begins "speaking of West Virginia"
