I wonder if he is one of those guys who drives down the highway at 100MPH in a blinding snowstorm? Water is no different, you drive for conditions, Bass Boats LOVE flat water and smaller lakes, but, with the small amount of freeboard they have they dont like choppy water, especially at 70+ MPH. That thing was chine walking and really loose LONG before he crashed, just my opinion, but, he should have got out of the throttle A LOT sooner, might still have boat if he did?
Having said that, if it gets a few more Yahoo's to wear life vests and use there kill switch [and maybe even drive according to water conditions?] I am ALL for posting the video, THANKS! for doing it!

I hate to say it but there is no doubt it was his life jacket that saved him and not his brains. I push boats to their limit however it appears he was almost trying to do what he did. The fact he was showing off for friends with a video camera certainly didn't help matters any. Lucky guy and hopefully lesson learned.

They are accidents waiting to happen,,,, bass boats are way to fast for the amount of hull under them and the light weight.
