"Water Activities" Greece Warnings Or Dangers Tip by Andrew_W_K

When my daughter was young she would beg us to let her go on a "banana" ride or a "doughnut", those inflatables that are pulled along by speed boat. We always refused saying they are dangerous and she always sulked afterwards. Now that she is an adult while on holiday in Greece she said that she would take our son (then aged 8) on a "sofa" ride and she would make sure he was okay.
Yep, you guessed it! At the fastest point he lost his grip and was catapulted backwards over the back of the inflatable "sofa" and into the sea. We were lucky he sustained no injuries other than shock and fright. I went ballastic and told my daughter THAT was the reason we never let her go on those stupid rides.
I shouldn't have given in and that's my tip. No matter how much your kids nag you and how much you feel bad about spoiling their fun these things are VERY dangerous for young kids.
