Charge dismissed in fatal kayak accident case

FWIW I didn't mean to sound callous there. 

every yaker will be in this position at one time or another......callous or not, you broke it down into simple terms.
Get Out Of The Way,,,,,it is bigger than you.

i ... assume every car(when biking&driving)) ... is out to get me.

In my hometown of Rowland Heights, you would not be wrong

What a shame.  It would be one thing if the operator was a punk kid w/ his daddy's wakeboard boat, but a seasoned veteran with 50 years of boating experience leads me to think this was more of a tragic accident than gross negligence.  Either way, wear those PFD's and be aware of your surroundings.
