F'in idiot.

Boy, that video started off showing so much potential.... went downhill from there

jet skis are like guns............they only do what someone makes them do. maybe people should be banned!

Not only jet skis but stupid drivers. A similar thing happened this weekend here on lake st.clair but with a go fast boat. A guy in a 25' baja was going 50mph and ran right up on top of a cabin cruiser going 10mph. Separated the fly bridge from the hull of the boat killing 2 and sending more the hospital. Way to many stupid people on the water.

I watched that probably 10 times and still don't understand how the hell that happened. He was looking straight ahead! Did he think it had brakes????

A jet ski is a fast machine they can have 260hp in a very small package. A machine like that goes 0-60 in 3sec. My guess he was inexperienced and gave it a blast of throttle and lost control. You should run a ski in that shallow of water as is sucks in sand and rocks from the bottom.

My first thought, exactly!!!

My Progressive insurance on a $6500 Waverunner is $320 a year.

My Progressive insurance on a $40K Bennington tritoon with a F150 Yamaha is $220 per year.

Insurance companies have more claims on PWC's, and the average claims are very high.

I have noticed that since our state went to requiring boating safety courses and written tests to get boat drivers licenses, PWC accidents have reduced dramatically. You have to be a licensed 12 year old to even run a boat. I seldom see anything really crazy happening on our lake, and virtually every dock and boathouse has one or two PWC's sitting on them.

The idiot is extremely lucky. It appears that everyone will survive.

I bet he was texing on his phone

I see it all the time. The idiot was coming in to do a splash run on the girl, and was totally oblivious that PWCs do not turn with the throttle off.

Gotta admit... pretty impressive airtime, and he really stuck the landing.

I thought it was pretty funny when the black girl just walked away, not bothering to check on the two on the ground. I guess she was pissed cause her photo op was busted! Or, that could've been a pretty good photo bomb!!!

Maybe she shit her pants and was running for the toilet?

My guess is it was a series of events on a tropical vacation where they rented the PWC not knowing anything about them other than looking like a blast.

After a short training by the rental company and they are off, a couple loops and the "Hey! I got this down! Lets go spray Stephanie" followed by "WHY DOESN'T THIS THING TURN IN SHALLOW WATER??"

Shame the F-tard had to have a passenger aboard when he stupid arose and tapped him on the shoulder.
