Jet Ski!

Last weekend I was in the ER with one of my relatives waiting for our turn to come. We noticed an elderly lady, shaking, trying to calm her self down, and sipping water. A crowed of young boys were standing quietly in a corner, looking anxious and sad. A young lady pacing back and forth chewing her finger nails not knowing what to expect or what to do next. I sat near the old lady greeted her and asked what's wrong. She said her grandson (around 12 years old) had a jet ski accident. I looked at the group of boys and asked them what exactly happened. One boy said: we were swimming at the beach and out of no where a jet ski came directly toward them and hitting their friend on the head. He was semi conscious at that time with a visible bump at the head. His friends ; although young, pulled him out the water and called the emergecy number. The ambulance then took him to the hospital for further management. I don't know exactly what happened to the young boy, all I know that he was sedated and on a ventilator. His parents were so upset, his father wanted to kill (I think) the jet ski rider because he ran away! And not even bothered to help out ( but the clever boys took the plate number). I really pray to Allah that the boy will recover soon with no complications.

The pointl of this story is that how many innocent people should suffer until a jet ski/ jet boat law be implemented to protect the swimmers. There should be a designated area for swimmer and others for boat/ jet ski activities so no one would get hurt. Its as simple as that! The young boys wanted only to have fun at the beach after a long week of studying! I think they never thought such a horrible thing will happen to them. I really hope the best for the family and their beloved boy and that he will have a speedy recovery.
