I want to believe that your story is real, Dave, rather than just another attempt by a liability attorney to generate sufficient interest for a class action suit. We've gone from none to three posts about these rafts in a short period of time.
Heck, this is the internet ... I don't think there is an adquately large-sized grain of salt to take all the sad stories with.
The fact that you've responded to these folks after your initial identical posting is encouraging.
