This is like watching car chases on TV. You think to yourself, "why is this dude running...they never get away". Same thing here. How anyone thinks running will make their situation better and thinks they will get away is beyond me. If you F up, stay there and take responsibility for your actions and the consequences that will follow. It would go a long way with the family involved and a judge/jury. Condolences to the family and friends of the gentlemen killed in the accident.

A older stand up jet ski would probably be a speed bump to a 30 footer... Even if he noticed damage to the boat at the ramp, he may not have thought much of it other than hitting something... which could be anything.
On the other side of this, the guy could be a jet ski hater, put fountain logos on another kind of boat, ran over the jet skiier, ripped of the logos and went about his day...
The bottom line is, we really have no idea what we're dealing with, there are all kinds of perfectly innocent people that do stuff without knowing it, and real big whackos too

This is a very sad situation. I hate when people do not take responsibility for thier actions. We had an incident like that here in Cincinnati a couple of years ago, Guy ran over a smaller boat on the river a hauled ass out of town. He was caught a few days later and is now serving a very lengthy prison sentence.

To play devils advocate, the guy really may not even know he hit someone... and not everyone reads the paper, is online, etc. to find all this stuff out.

While I agree that alot of jet skiers can be nuisances, and alot of them seem to be kamikazis who have no regard for their lives or those of their passengers, or anyone swimming in the water, etc, by all accounts that is not the case with this incident.
Bottom line is the scumbag probably figures he's going to get away with it.
PS-Just for the record, I'm not a 'ski hater by any means. Matter of fact I like riding as much as the next guy and have done so on many occasions. I've just seen too many times where normally sensible people climb on these things and leave their brains at the dock when they hit the start button.

isn't there a LHC poker run roster that can be researched for entry's by boat??
also, the chic in that pic has a wedding ring, she HAS to know the driver/owner of that boat, and someone HAS to know one or either of them by pic recognization?? I don't think a married chic needs a legal hassle...
not saying that's the boat, but if *I* was a detective, i'd damm sure start there...
