Ok, one day I went tubing with some people. I decided that I wanted to go on the tube, so I got on. Three other people went on with me, and of course I was on the end of the tube near the arm rest. When the boat started to glide through the water, the tube elevated up a couple of inches and the went back down, forcing water into my face.

After a while, the person next to me looked over at me, but I don't think I noticed. Then that person looked away. My hands started slipping off of the handle, so I held on as if my life depended on it. More water splashed into my face, and soon after... I back flipped off of the tube and into the water.(lol)

My life jacket floated to the surface, with me held tightly in it. I looked everywhere for the boat. I finally found the boat after a couple of minutes, and found it zooming away from me. I had felt like I had been invisible to everyone, but I started swimming toward the boat even though it wasn't coming for me.

The boat finally reached me after a few minutes(I think) and some people threw the boats ladder into the water to let me get on. The person who had been next to me told me that I had kicked her face, but she was fine with it.

The lesson that I learned:

(I have no clue, maybe it was hold on tighter than the last time, or don't sit at the end of the tube.)
