Safety First / Re: Worst Injury?
« on: March 28, 2023, 02:29:24 PM »
I was fishing in my Outback at Rancho Seco when I was passed by a large, cheap, inflatable with a small outboard holding 7 youngsters having a great time. A couple of hours later I was heading back in and I see the inflatable with two of the kids paddling like crazy with small canoe type paddles but the wind was pushing them backwards. Their inflatable had flipped and the motor came off.
I could tell they would not be able to make it back so I volunteered to tow them the three blocks back to their launch point. With the wind in my face it was much more difficult than I had planned on but we made it and said goodbye.
The next morning I felt like I had strained my abs from all the hard pedaling. A week later I was diagnosed with inguinal hernias on both sides. One of which had already been repaired six months earlier but needed it again.
