Yet, being quite familar with a DIR rig, YOU let them jump into Lake
Michigan mis-configured, over-weighted and not understanding the system.

Why didn't you fully explain the system?

Why didn't you recommend Pearl Lake or Racine Quary?

It seems that if you want to talk about intructors who let people go out
and kill themselves you don't have to look very far.

Your tale is just as bad if it's true.
