A close call in Washington state after a group of ten people, including a two-year-old were abruptly dumped into the Skykomish River while inner tubing Sunday.
Multiple people were thrown into a river after their flotilla of connected innertubes got caught on a strainer.
According to authorities, only the young child was wearing a life jacket at the time of the incident. All 10 of the people were able to get to both sides of the shore on their own. After making sure everyone was safe, boat 31 went upstream and retrieved the flotilla of innertubes. Authorities said that a strainer is a group of fallen trees that act as a water strainer and are “extremely dangerous” in rivers. They advise people to avoid them at all costs.
