Let's all say a prayer for the poor fellow who was injured and resolve to wear out preservers and kill switches when running. I once saw a 10' piece of telephone pole floating in the ship channel and my cousin once ran over a big wooden cable reel that was floating just at water level, he was OK but things like that can easily fall off barges or break loose from docks. If you hit something like that at 30-40 mph you are probably going over the side and no matter how strong a swimmer that you are, you can't swim when you are knocked out cold.
