Nude beach sparks barge flip

Nude beach sparks barge flip
From correspondents in Austin, Texas
May 3, 2004

PARTYGOERS wanting a glimpse of nude sunbathers at the only nude beach in Texas rushed to one side of a barge, prompting it capsize and dump all 60 people into Lake Travis.

Two people were hospitalised with minor injuries yesterday after the rented double-decker barge sank near Hippie Hollow, a lakeside park and the only public nude beach in Texas.

The accident occurred during Splash Day, a semiannual event hosted at the clothing-optional area by the Austin Tavern Guild, a gay and lesbian association.

Witnesses said that all of the people aboard the barge moved to one side as it neared Hippie Hollow, making it tilt.

Krista Umscheid, a spokeswoman for the Lower Colorado River Authority, said that although everyone aboard was accounted for, Travis County sheriff's divers were checking compartments of the sunken pontoon boat as a precaution.

For crying out loud, it's just a bunch of breasts and dicks. Buy a porn and have them for your viewing pleasure whenever you wish.

Trust me, the porn stars look a lot better than a bunch of naked lesbos and cake boys (not that there's anything WRONG with that!!)

At first I thought they were talking about a place called Hippy Hollow. Which is the nudist part of Lake Travis. My dad told me a story about that place.

I smell a lawsuit brewing... Just wait it's coming. People in the states can sue for anything these days, this incident will probably shut down the marine scenic tours industry in America. (please note sarcasm)

I hope to die some day in a similarly ridiculous manner...even though nobody really died. How anti-climactic...

It's amazing how much common sense is lost when something stunning comes up.
