Bad idea: using plastic boat as sled

HOQUIAM, Wash.

A 21-year-old Hoquiam, Wash., man who decided to go sledding in the city cemetery learned two lessons: an 8-foot plastic boat is not a good sled, but it works fine as a stretcher.
Police Chief Jeff Myers said the man found that his "sled" quickly picked up speed Wednesday on the snowy cemetery hillside, sailing through trees and landing in a gully.
Myers says the victim suffered an apparently broken leg.
Police, medics and friends used the boat as a rescue platform and managed to haul the victim out of the gully and up the hill. He was taken to a local hospital.
Myers says it appears alcohol was involved in the sledding adventure.
