If some stopped it whay didn't all along the lakes,Sure it is dangerous,Even if some don't see it that way.Many that have drowned didn't think it was and are no longer here,To tell about it.The big lakes are not anything to mess with.Been around them all my life as one who lives near one.Just have seen such stupid fun things happene,ending up in bad results.Please make fines much higher.As well as jail time.Till people get smart?well Not without strict laws and better things to do to have fun at.Maybe some do it 20 times and have no problem,but it only takes one time to get killed!Laws need to be changed to stop many foolish things,some think are fun!

The word fun containes alot of stupidity by many.Alot of fun ends up in death. so try to make young ones see this.No not untill someone dies as end results.Fun to drink,then drive?Some never get caught.But many get killed or worse.Popping pills and doing drugs seem fun to some,don't make it right and can cause great harm or death.No way to have police patrol at the lake each day and night?So lets just let more die off,as it was no big deal.Does any one doing dangerous stuff think how it is going to hurt the ones we leave behind when we get killed.10 feet tall and bullet proof.Won't happen to ME?Attuides.Change the fines for doing this much higher,make the laws to protect the ones who think it can't happen to them.If not likeing the laws,go to another state to jump off whatever.Use your head for something besides a hat rack.

They just want to ban everything fun, don't they? Sure, it's dangerous. So are driving a car and riding a bicycle. Maybe we should ban those activities as well.
