Oh.. it "spanned" the river... therefore the entire Width... not length.

Can you imagine a guy doing full speeds with a 150 or even 200hp motor and hitting one of those nets in the river. The issue is not so much the net itself, but they weigh it down with rocks and bricks to keep the floats hidden underwater. Those rocks are like bullets being propelled into the propeller and the boat hull when you snag them... making quite a bit of damage should you be so unlucky...
