If you fall off of a tube what can't you get back on? My guess is that one guy who fell of the tube could not swim to it and his brother who tried to save him by jumping off the boat couldn't swim well either.
I'm not buying that the cold water was the culprit




Richards says alcohol was not involved at this point in the investigation.





TRAIL, Ore. – A man is dead and his brother is missing and presumed dead after a boating incident sent them into the water at Lost Creek Lake on Sunday night.
"They were tubing and then fell off the tube," Sgt. Shawn Richards with search and rescue said. "One went to help the other one and unfortunately both [succumbed] to the probably cold temperatures of the water."
A woman called 911 just before 8 p.m. to report two men had drowned.
Deputies and firefighters responded to the lake and found 25-year-old Irving Fuentes unresponsive in the water.
Medics rushed Fuentes to Providence Medford Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Deputies searched until darkness for a second man, 29-year-old Juan Carlos Fuentes. The search resumed Monday.
The two men are brothers from White City, deputies said.
Tubing accident
Jackson County Search and Rescue responded to a double drowning at Lost Creek Lake Sunday night.
The 8-person family rented a boat from the Lost Creek Lake. One of the people on the boat called in what happened, according to Richards.
While the boat ramp closes at 9:00 p.m. for the evening, rentals must be returned to the Lost Creek Lake Marina by 8:00 p.m. according to the marina's website.
Richards says alcohol was not involved at this point in the investigation. SAR is continuing to investigate the accident.
"We're just trying to harp on, 'Wear a life jacket,'" Richards said.
Life jackets are available to borrow for free at the Lost Creek Lake boat ramp near the marina.
Richards said SAR has not had a boating accident, "in quite some time."
"Be sure that you know it will be cold water," Richards generally advised. "Make sure you have all the safety equipment you need and that you have good boat operators."
Jackson County Sheriff's Office patrol deputies in the area and Jackson County Fire District 4 were first on scene.

Well.....I'm confused about what you're confused about. Two grown men without life jackets in the lake. THEY must have thought they were good swimmers.
I don't know how you arrive at that conclusion. They or at least one was on a tube. how does one just fall off a tube? 

 This makes sense to you? They said.....  a boating incident sent them into the water. Then it says "They were tubing and then fell off the tube,"





It's not so hard. I've been thrown out of a boat before. Literally thrown out. My mind registered a boat movement and then cold water just that fast. There wasn't any time to react at all. It happens.

And no one should underestimate the effect of cold water. Being able to swim and being a strong swimmer can be different things. And then some can barely swim at all.

The report is pretty light on the details... as many are.

No  you are right it's not hard to be thrown out of a boat. But if that happened why does it say they fell off a tube LOL
