Title: Sumo 'death' tube
Product review: We purchased this 'wearable' towable last summer (2006) during our lake vacation. I was the first one to try it. It submersed me under water to the point that I couldn't breath. I never came back out of the water and when I let go of the rope, I further torpedoed down. I had to struggle quite a bit to get back out of it so that I could get air. Two very strong men with us also tried this item. They had to hold on and hold their breath for quite a while until they finally came out of the water at high speed. Even so, it rides so low in the water that all you see and experience is a wall of water in your face for the entire ride. It is shaped so that it drives your face into the water. Not a fun experience and we returned this item the next day.
