For sure will protect from getting hit with a hard object but if you get tossed what happens when the extra surface area of the helmet hits the water?
Or you`re unconscious and it start filling up with water?
Seems in some cases it would do more harm

Wearing a helmet is mandatory when racing boats. Imagine the harm to your head if you hook and get pinballed around the cockpit on your way out without a helmet. Believe me I know.

It was a fun experience and nice having the only Active Thunder there. Lots of people came up to check it out at the docks.

As for the helmets - racers wear them for a reason. It really wasn't too annoying at all wearing it(first time I have worn a helmet on a boat).

My brother almost bought that Pantera but couldn't get decent insurance.
My favorite 28 Pantera to this day.

You know I have looked at these pictures over and over and still can't tell , based on the pictures, if those are Miller Lites. The can color looks correct however but I still am unsure.

Do you have any more pictures to clear up this issue?

You better borrow Diane's reading glasses, you can clearly see Bud Light on the cans. I know you, you just want to see more pictures of the crew!
