Yes, and there is supposed to be a separate spotter for each individual being towed, if I'm remembering my safety course from last summer correctly.

It would seem that it's just common sense that the driver should not be acting as a spotter, but after some of the things I saw on the lake this summer, it doesn't seem like common sense is all that common.

I'm very glad your grandson is ok and I hope the other driver learned a lesson from this scare.
