If Erica is found to be intoxicated she took a gamble with her life, everyone in the boat, in house, and on the lake that night. And unfortunately she lost that gamble. The snowmobiler took a gamble skimming across the lake. He just happened to be lucky. He could have hit a wave wrong and been thrown, he could have been unable to avoid an obstacle, or just sunk the snowmobile. Both Erica's intoxication and the skimming are avoidable. Erica not drinking and the snowmobiler leaves the snowmobile in the truck. Now everyone gambles their life everyday, you could get hit by a bus, or have a car accident. But the odds of harm are much higher while boating intoxicated or skimming a snowmobile across the Lake. So yes the kid didn't injure anyone, but it could have just as easily gone the other way.
