Fort Worth Now Offers River Wakeboarding – But Is It Safe?

This spring, the nation’s first urban wakeboarding park will open on Fort Worth’s branch of the Trinity River. The park, known as Cowtown Wake Park, brings together aspects of surfing, water skiing, and snowboarding by using a complicated cable towing system to move customers across the water. In fact, engineers from Germany have arrived in Fort Worth to oversee the final implementation of the unprecedented tow system.

While many water sports fans are getting excited, several Fort Worth citizens are asking an important question: is it safe? It’s too early to tell, but concerns abound. Every year, more than 500 Americans die in water sports accidents. For many families, the risk of injury represents too high a high price to pay for summer fun. This summer, if you or a family member are injured during water recreation, contact the personal injury experts at Fears | Nachawati. Call 1.866.705.7584 or send an email to info@fnlawfirm.com.
