How fortunate we are not to have our mistakes broadcast to all of Barnesville for the amusement of others.

Wow, this young couple did make what they now recognize was a stupid mistake and I bet they learned from it.
They got lucky and realize it.
Why is everyone calling them names?
This couple knows they're lucky.

yes they know they are lucky for sure. they thank God every minute of the day..it could have been a lot worse and i am glad that it wasnt. as for everyone calling them names....they are just trying to laugh about it and not let it get to them. after all, people make mistakes and people move on...thank u for sticking up for them!

WHY ARE THEY MAKING FUN? BECAUSE THEY DIDNT THINK OF IT FIRST SO THEY COULD GET IN THE PAPER. I KNOW THESE "KIDS" AND I SAY KIDS LIGHTLY. THEY ARE 18-23 NOT 40 YR OLD ADULTS. I HAVE SEEN MUCH WORSE DONE FROM "GROWN" PEOPLE. THINK BACK TO YOUR TEENS AND 20'S... HOW MANY OF YOU "IDIOTS" MADE A REALLY CRAZY MISTAKE THAT YOU NOW LAUGH BACK ON??? HELL IM OLDER AND CAN NAME A HANDFUL OF "DUMB" MISTAKES FROM THOSE TIMES. THEY ARE HUMAN.. AND APPARENTLY SOME OF YOU TARDS HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR WILD AND CRAZY DAYS. DONT HATE ON THEM BECAUSE THEY DID TWO THINGS YOU DIDNT:

1.) THOUGHT ABOUT IT FIRST. AND
2.) HAD THE BALLS TO ACT IT OUT.

DONT HATE ON THEM BECAUSE THEY BEAT YOU. LAUGH ABOUT IT WITHOUT NAME CALLING. AND REMEMEBER THIS.... IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU IN THE PAPER BUT AMY AND CHRIS DID IT FIRST ;)

Well when people do stupid things such as what those two did I mean come on now their going rafting without a raft an air mattress is just that not a floating device! Not to mention when the creeks are flooded they decide to do this. So excuse me for finding this VERY FUNNY and having a realy good laugh out of it. But all jokes aside hopefully they did learn from this and nobody got hurt so NEXT TIME GET A RAFT NOT AN AIR MATTRESS DONT WAIT FOR A FLOOD THEN YA'LL MIGHT HAVE FUN AND WILL NOT REQUIRE THE HELP OF FIRE & RESCUE!!!
