REAL LIFE ADVENTURES
OF THE UNDERWATER STUNTMAN

Innertoobing with the Stuntman

The simplest toys sometimes provide the best excitement

Nowadays, we are truly inundated with publicity for
electronic gadgets which, it is said, will provide hours of
excitement... until the batteries run out. What is junk to
one person may provide endless entertainment for another. Proving this point is this simplistic craft which is
nothing more than a truck innertube.

The craft is thrown into the water, and cushions the
impact as the Underwater Stuntman gracefully leaps into
it from the shore.

Innertube

The plastic paddle spins the craft at a dizzying rate, and
provokes a neighborhood dog. Now what do you think
is the motivation behind the dog's rantings and ravings?
The shape or motion of the craft, or the color scheme of
the rider's whitewater wear? (It's really a motorcycle rain
suit but don't tell anyone)

Gone to the dogs

While the standard safety
helmet may appear to offer
protection against the inevitable
encounters with motorized
watercraft, its real value lies in its
buoyancy. Shoes, gloves and tear
resistant clothing is really what
protects the rider shown here. The
neoprene hood under the helmet
offers thermal protection as these pictures were taken during a spring flood.
