Your sisters accident could have happened anywhere. It was a tragic and freak course of events that lead to her race diving into a 3 foot pool. It is an awful horrible thing, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the jump tradition.

I am well versed in the history of mirror lake, I’ve been researching the injuries related to the jump for several years now. Im sorry for everything your family went through, but I stand by my original statement.

One horrible tragedy, Singletarys, in decades of this tradition and hundreds of thousands or more participants is not a real reason to end this tradition.

Take care.
