      What you lauging for? You should be thankful they are even here.
      Its people like you who just dont get it, and will contibute to the decline of tourism. What are you really ‘concerned’ about, huh?

    • Spectator says:

      Yeah you don’t sound too concerned. Please refrain from commenting unless you want someone else to laugh when it’s someone you know in an accident.

    I do hope they are ok though and hope they enjoy their stay and next time get a tour guide.

    it was a guided tour and there happened to be an accident… just like so many other people who get into accidents, regardless of there intelligence and capabilities. sh$t happens, no need for the negativity when this is already a horrific event to hear about. get well soon ladies.

  4. Concerned Bermudian says:

    Ok let me clarify. I did not mean to actually laugh. I was basically saying that most of the tourist I see have difficulty with the little slow rentals we have and its strange that they want something even faster than that. Of course, I am not saying that they should not rent them, just that they should be more vigilant. Sorry if I upset anyone. That was not my intention. I also did not know that they needed a tour guide.

    • Concerned Family Friend says:

      I agree with American Concerned, maybe if the jet ski could have turned, they would not have hit the pylon and would not have sustained any injuries. Maybe your country should do better guided tours and safety checks, before they let anyone on a jet ski. So don’t go blaming the tourist when it was not there fault. These girls happen to be two very responsible girls, who are know in a lot of pain, due to this accident.
      You should think before you write a stupid comment like you first comment.

  5. It is us tourists that keeps your countries economy prosperous. Maybe if the jet ski was working properly, my friend and her sister wouldn’t have hit that pylon. Now because of that my friend can not walk. Maybe you should think of that the next time you have a smart ass remark.
