When I was much younger, everyone used to invite me along to go water skiing!!! I thought it was because I was good on ski's!!!! Dad informed that wasn't the reason, he said it was because I did such fantastic crashes!!!!!!

Yeah, I still recall the afternoon my soon to be ex-wife swung outside on a turn at 55mph and must have hit 75mph or more before she let the ski get away from her. She skipped like a flat rock about three times before going under, then came up and skipped again. The force straightened out the "D" rings on the floatation belt she had on... Still brings a little smile to my face after forty years....
