I just noticed this, but it looks as though the boat was in a fairly decent turn at speed. When I first watched the video I thought they were traveling dead straight, but it appears that they were turning pretty decent if you watch behind the boat leading up to the incident. Doesn't take much to upset and prompt the spin at those speeds.

Default Thanks!

Thanks so much for the insite !! I have been there before w my 38 so i feel I had to call it like I see it. I just don't want the boat to get a bad rapp.. Did the boat do ok?? Is it cracked? that boat stopped really quick. Once agaiin The props spinning are what caused the problems I think.
I know how you must feel. And I want to say that this has woke a lot of people up. And for the comon man with comon sense this will makes us think and be safer in the long run.. Of course there will be the nay sayers.. But this is a possitive. Kinda like the movies you watch when you are getting your drivers lic. when you are 16.. Anyway Glad you all survived... Be cool and get back out in your boat... NO more throttleing waves with hot women on board !!!!!!!!!!

I usually put the engines in reverse prior to re-entry. it helps to slow the boat down when i'm going too fast.

If you watch the video enough times you can understand what unfolded. They launched pretty high before slamming down on the starboard side. The driver pulled back on the throttles when they went airborne, but at that point it was too late.

It was a accident that was easily preventable and one that could have had a even much worse outcome if not for some pure luck.
I agree.
