It's easy to assume the crash was driver error considering so many have happened that way.
I don't know why so many people are shocked that under-qualified operators purchase these things and then crash them. It's been happening for years with exotic cars. I remember when Porsche introduced the 930 turbo to the US market. Many, many of them were destroyed- and almost everyone crashed backwards. Guys with no concept of vehicle dynamics figured they could blaze around just like they used to in their big-block Corvettes.

And, my first thought was the same, but sometimes, you just don't know. I'm glad everyone is allright......I think since Cigarettes are so well known, alot of people (new to boating) buy them for the status, logo, legend or whatever and try and run them fast with no experience.

You are correct. They're not Mastercrafts. I raced a TS and never came close to spinning and we raced hard.
