Hey Dave,
I know two people who have done this also, but I will leave it up to them wether or not they want to come foward. I have an aquaintence at the marina who always has to one up me. when I bought my vests for the Fountain, he had to show me his automatic vests that inflate when they come in contact with water. Obviously they were much better then mine, well he puts them in the closet of his Big cruiser only to find out dampness inflates them too!! lol. I keep 5 or 6 cartridges on the boat as someone always pulls the strap that appropiately says "jerk to pull" See you Soon, Louie

Funny stuff, I thought you did it after the race... And back to how did the reporter look? I thought she was kind on the eyes, thin, has her own tv show on Ozarks TV if anyone can pull it off, I am not so computer literate myself.
And no, after leasing to hundreds and hundreds of new racers for the last decade, I can say we have never had this happen Dave...

actually you are not the only one!
Joe Sgro did it in Belgium this year in P1. He thought he was grabbing his intercom cord that had pulled out instead it inflated his vest, and ran the whole race.
