Back in the day, we were not fortunate enough to have engineered towables to play with, so in our infinite wisdom, we designed our own. Those ranged from cabinet doors tied to the boat (don't dip the front) to inner tubes (wallow). As a parent now, I know that MY folks were looking out saying "What are those idiots up to now?" How we never drowned, I will never know...
I can tell you that a bicycle stops immediately upon hitting the water from 3 or more feet up, so be sure to get over the handlebars, and no matter how hard you try, a construction wheelbarrow will not stay upright when launched off a dock with an idiot in it. I thought that I had my weight well centered there, too....
