Here is one I was sent. Video is from Russia and it sucked all the passengers out.

Watch the yellow boat.

Sea-Dated

What happened there? It looks like it was going straight and just barrel rolled for no reason at all. Driver error?

At least they were all wearing jackets and the driver was wearing his lanyard since the boat stopped right after it threw everyone out.

?? The occupants told me they went for a swim and they broke their ribs. I don't think I can swim well with broken ribs.

From the looks of the video, I see everyone coming and then dramatically making a sharp turn. Maybe the boats cg is to far forward and the boat hooks on the front step and around they come.

The Yellow boat did not roll, it just high sided. It is hard to see being the bottom and th sides are the same color but look for the black checker pattern on the side to differentiate the boats bottom. The boat keels to Stb.

Lot's of boats flip and roll due to driver error. I would not just consider it "top guns". Look at Mr. Safety himself (AKA Brad)...He owns a TS Top Gun.

True but some boats seem less forgiving than others.

Did Brad have an incident also?

I think some of the high end boats coming out of the U.S. are setup very aggressively compared to maybe what they are use to overseas.

Agreed on both above posts....And no, Brad had no incident. My point being, is if you know how to run a step hull you wont have problems. If you don't, you may get wet.

Absolutey, Still not an excuse for getting the boat upset!

Tank are you spreadin Rumors. Not on a boat at least!

I have to say this is not a reason or an excuse. Some very timid, tame boats are killilng people. Speed is rarely a primary causal factor in an incident.

Very easy to see what happened here. It comes right out and tells you what was wrong.

Yea, I've heard about some of your "incidents".....Infamous!

BLee

I guess he won't be trying to do doughnuts with 24ft Baja's, small Formula's, and inflatable rafts again! That boat is NOT designed for that type of driving. Glad he was just banged up.
