I've cut and pasted the document so please excuse the type.
 
It shows how easy it is to end up in the water. I have to be honest and say how easy it is to forget to reconnect the kill switch to you but you only need to forget it once and that might be when you need it.
Still, good to see noone got hurt.
 
Kill cord was connected But slipped off!

I cannot get over the poor build quality,self tappers for the

seat base

looking at picture of the steelwork after the accident probably

lucky they were thrown out before impact

I pray "Bob Hoskins"will be back in the saddle shortly /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
