While the above video of jumping Asian Carp is comical, real injury can result from these fishes. Silver carp, also known as "flying carp", can weigh up to 40 pounds and grow to three feet long; if they hit you in just the right place, they could hurt you badly. For example:
-In 2003 a woman jet-skiing broke her nose and a vertebra colliding with a silver carp and nearly drowned.
-A teenager's jaw was broken by a silver carp while being pulled on an inner tube.
Boating in areas with large silver carp populations is considered dangerous so one should take caution when boating in these areas.
