Default Tubing accident on Winnisquam

Saw this on WMUR's website.I bet the tow rope wasn't 150 ft feet long.

Hmm lets see the average tow rope sold is 60' so yeah I'd say that was just a slight misjudgement in distance. I sometimes wonder how careless people can be, you'd think common sense dictates not tubing anywhere close to inanimate objects.

Not sure what the reference is to here...is it worse that it happened while a jet ski was doing the towing rather than a boat? Just wondering....
