Four men feared drowned in Idaho reservoir after joke gone awry

The men were feared drowned during a boating trip, leaving five young children adrift on the boat in the 87-square-mile American Falls reservoir Sunday evening, authorities said.

The children later told marine patrol deputies that one of the men was standing near the edge of the boat when another one thought it would be funny to push him overboard, Power County Sheriff Jim Jeffries said

"But apparently, he couldn't swim, so he was immediately in distress," Jeffries said. "The second man jumped in, and so then there were two of them in distress in the water, so the third jumped in and there were three in distress."

The last adult on the boat managed to grab a life jacket before jumping in to try to save the other three, Jeffries said, but he wasn't wearing it and may have only hooked an arm through the device.

Meanwhile, the breezy weather caused the boat to drift away from the men.

O_O

a lack of skill and breezy weather led to their demise

You need a license to drive, you should also need one to go on the water.

And have kids.

I'm pretty sure you do need a license. I believe its called "a boating license".

I never understood why people interact with large bodies of water when they don't know how to swim. I saw something on the Dicovery channel the other day that mentioned how all these natives in some place in Africa die all the time because they go out fishing but don't know how to swim.

Stupid people, everywhere.
 
How can you be over 12 and NOT know how to swim? That amazes me.

This. I'll never understand how anyone who isn't unconscious or in very rough waters could drown. I've napped in the pool before. o_O

yeah how nice for you that you dont live there,infact chavez is more liked by people that dont live in venezuela,I wonder why?
 
What does RJMC stand for, anyway?

I have always pronounced it as "Run JMC" for some reason :rolling:
 
One thing my shitty small town school did right: regular pool trips. I'm still a pretty bad swimmer, run out of breath way too quickly, but I think I could manage staying buoyant at least.

Hell, the swimming thing isn't even the dumb part. Why did only the last guy think of grabbing a life jacket, and not only didn't put it on first, but only grabbed one? As Mr. Hicks might say: we didn't lose a cancer cure here, folks.

You don't need a license to drive a boat in Idaho. Not sure about elsewhere.
 
A license to get in the water? Really? ****ing commies.
 
I had to acquire a boating license in order to pilot our boat on the lakes here. Got it when I was a kid.
 
Sounds like a stupid situation all round. They should have shown there kids how to operate the boat so they could pick them up. And never go out on the water if you can't swim. It takes 2 weeks to learn at most.

This. I got a boating license when I was like 8 down here in Florida. They hardly ever check and we've never gotten stopped by marine patrol.

They're not saying you need a license to get into the water, only a license to operate a boat. A boat can be just a dangerous as a car. Its like you don't need a license to walk on the road but you need a license to drive a car.

I think you do in Florida.
 
If I couldn't swim I wouldn't be standing on the edge of a boat, honestly. I can't fly either, and so I don't stand on the wingtips of an airplane.


I don't think I've ever tried swimming while intoxicated. Whenever I'm drunk I tend to stay away from the edges because... well, I don't feel like stumbling and falling in. And friends can be unpredictable and push you in. You learn this in kindergarten. He must have lived a sheltered life.
