Talk about a bad rep

Wow. *smh* Why would you continue to keep a ride like that open knowing that it's causing genital injuries??? I had to google it to find out more b/c I was curious as to what type of injuries we're talking. Apparently the force of the water is causing some type of injuries. I just can't comprehend...I just...yeah, I don't get it.

From the article it says they are working on a suit to protect women..

At minimum I can understand they are trying to accommodate everyone while being concerned for women health and safety. But it makes you wonder of the health hazards to men as well.. :eek

So the link to the original article was in the story for those who may have missed it..

Now as far as what I meant, here is what I was talking about as far as men, if the force is that high.. It may not show up right away, and many men may not want to admit to the problem, but this should be a concern from a medical perspective..

Because the testicles are located within the scrotum, which hangs outside of the body, they do not have the protection of muscles and bones that most organs have. This makes it easier for the testicles to be struck, hit, kicked or crushed. The following information should help explain why timely evaluation and proper management are critical for the best outcomes.

I can tell you that water-skiing badly is not very comfortable for the twins, but even at that speed I've never suffered serious damage.
