[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder who shallow the cove is right by the shore. It could be the ball was initially very close to shore and if the water was less than knee deep I can see jumping in the canoe just to avoid getting wet (vs wading to get the ball). I am not thinking in that moment that I am going canoeing - just that I am wading a few feet in my boat.

It is tragic. We make split second decisions all the time and 99.9% of the time they end up fine. We have all done dumb things that after we did them thought - that was a bit stupid. Especially people who are not risk adverse and live lives with adventure in them. People who travel and do sports etc accept a certain degree of risk in life and don't consciously factor it into every split second decision.

This is true, but when dealing with water, fire, wilderness, and other forces of nature, people need to train themselves not to make split seconds decisions unless there truly is only one second to decide. Such is not the case for a ball in the water. [/quote]
