How fast do you have to be going for something like this to happen?
At high speeds when you hit a wake, what causes the boat to react like that? How big of a wave/wake would cause an accident like this? |

You just did. :)
It happens everytime there is a mis-hap. And it's tiring. Everyone feels the need to blame it on something. Let's just say something F-ed up. Glad no one was killed. And I hope a speedy recovery. |

How big of a wave/wake would cause an accident like this? 2) Improper trim, or bad read of the wake/wave. 3) Not as big as you'd think, hit it wrong and a 2'er could do it. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be - just an opinion. |

Or someone F-ed up. People are too quick to blame a boat builder or water conditions rather then themselves. I see it all day long. Stay far enough away from the other boats so you can't read the person capacity plate:rolleyes: 1) It doesn't take much speed. Driver error - should have been going slower 2) Improper trim, or bad read of the wake/wave. Driver error - Driver doesn't know how to have hsi own boat trimmed for conditions 3) Not as big as you'd think, hit it wrong and a 2'er could do it. Driver error - If it's unknown you should have been going slower or stayed farther back from the other boat |

I really didn't mean to start this cycle of the thread, in fact, my intentions were to avoid it. I'm tired of every accident turning into a finger pointing game. Something, or Someone F-ed up. It happens everyday. I just hope the guy is alright. |
Hope he is OK with no serious injuries.
I wonder what MPH high speed is? The accident that happened on Lake Travis a number of weeks ago the news reported the boat was at high speed. Later the report said he was going 40mph. On this lake I get passed all the time when I am running 40 by just about any boat, big cruisers and performance boats. |
Same thing happened to me a few years back. Broke my nose and was hurting for a few weeks. 100% my fault, happened real fast. Thank God i had my lanyards on. Woke me up real quick.....
