That's an awesome vid Smoke! All I can think of is how much water would have gone up my nose.

I couldn't find the still image of them just before they hit the the water. It shows them leaning forward, face first. Never did see one of them at the point of contact with the water, so I don't know if they leaned forward to let the helmet take the impact or what. I found a "Splat meter" online, according to it calculating the estimated weight and distance, he would have been traveling at 55 miles per hour when he hit, but that doesn't factor in the increase caused by the flowing water. Helmet or no helmet, that would have been one heck of an impact to absorb.

@CherylL that stinks. On the positive side if it's as humid there as it is here, you wouldn't find a hike enjoyable anyhow.
The knee issue is back. It didn't heal up completely from the Christmas night fall. Used it on vacation and now paying for it. Ortho in a week. Back in Feb/Mar I started a photography wish list on places in the area a day's drive. Most involve a short hike. Have to wait until the knee works and for it to quit raining.
I have knee issues (partially torn meniscus) and have found that stationary bike before any activity really loosened it up.
Cheryl, sorry the knee is still acting up, I have one that's bad and one that's really bad so I understand the frustration. Had surgery on one of them with no following improvement. I'm almost to the point of being willing to let them replace it but it just seems a bit scary.
Smoke, the hydroplane races sound fun, also a good photo op.
