Dubstep Boat Crash
 
Funny, but pretty scary, too...
http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/403...tep-boat-crash

Learning that there were some serious injuries, and out of respect for those that were injured, my apologies for the "funny" part of my post above.

Still is a great video that shows firsthand what a couple careless moments can do. "with great power, comes great responsibility" dave911

This poor guy should just sell his boat and take up Yatzi for all the bad press and exposure he is getting but the chick in the yellow is hot

Call me old fashioned, out-of-step, humorless, or what you will, but I can't find anything funny in making light of a boating incident in which people--most of them innocent passengers--were seriously injured, and could very well have ended up dead or paralyzed for life.

I hope I'm not the only one here who feels this way.

yup !!!!!

I have seen that before, I believe an OSO member made the video.

Wet-N-Wild 09-07-2012 09:02 PM

I don't find it funny either. It could have been very bad

hadleycat 09-07-2012 09:25 PM

The internet spreads news so fast! good or bad!

TexasVines 09-07-2012 11:27 PM

this video is actually funny here

dave911 09-08-2012 12:23 AM

I got the post off funnyOrDie.com. To me it's funny, cuz I think the pilot is an absolute idiot for driving over his head with a boatload of passengers. Good lesson for some who may view the post. Chit can happen quick out there, even in a 38 Fountain on a lake (or so it seems to be from bolster stitching). Anyway, ignore it if you don't like it, or even pull it down. Whatever...

thirdchildhood 09-08-2012 06:44 AM

It's all over the internet anyway and it's already been linked to a couple of times on the main thread. I'm sorry people were hurt but glad no one was ejected because this could have been so much worse. Maybe it's not "funny" but it's on my YouTube "favorites".

AJ POWERPLAY 09-08-2012 01:41 PM

I actually laughed my ass off... I couldn't help it really. Don't judge someone for their humor

Nothing personal, but it gives me a chuckle every time one of you calls him a "pilot" or "captain". Clearly he isn't either but a steering wheel holder... and wasn't very good at that!

And sick I know, but I did laugh at the vid. :lolhit:

Guess I coulda put "driver". It even felt weird at the time, but it's not like this is grammarOnly.com. Heheh.

I bet if this guy had right hand throttles, he might've been better able to brace himself when the boat rolled so violently.

Never driven a Fountain, but that's gotta be kinda tough to adopt.

c_deezy 09-08-2012 10:34 PM

I laughed at it too, couldn't help it.

Every time I see that guy slamming those throttles back and forth and then he just 'planks' out, it's hilarious.

Granted everybody did get hurt and that isn't funny, but nobody died. They just learned the hard way this time.

SHMOE 09-08-2012 11:11 PM

I think it's hilarious! You people that don't take life wayyyyy too seriously. Oh and you need to learn how to spell, that being "your" and "you're", damn.

SKRILLEX FTW!!!! haha:poopoo:

Libertarian 09-08-2012 11:32 PM

Video is hilarious!!! I have watched 40+ times, still funny. If that happened to me and only minor injuries occurred, I would want Millions of people to watch it and laugh as well. I would gladly take the youtube kickbacks (advertising).
Pretty sweet throttle action!! "Plank out" Great description.

Is there an extended version out there that shows after the accident where everyone was like WTF just happened?

low_psi 09-09-2012 01:20 PM

I think the problem here is, originally it was reported only "minor injuries". That video was made before the actual sevarity of the injuries was known. Now that most of us know there were broken ribs, punctured lungs, broken pelvises, etc, the video isnt quite as funny... I wonder if that video would have been made if all injuries were know beforehand.....

I guess if you find people getting hurt funny....:rolleyes:

Maybe if it was your family member getting hurt, maybe it wouldn't be so funny to you.

There are plenty of funny things in the world. This isn't one of them. It's just juvenile.

FlyenBrian 09-09-2012 07:38 PM

I normally love seeing people get banged up, but there is nothing funny about the incident or vid....been to close to that edge to many times in my life time and watching what happens when you just slip over it..is humorless. If you've never been there, I hope if you cross it, some ****forbrians does not make a "funny" vid of your demise. That accident was just one chine from killing some folks.

Racerngr1 09-09-2012 11:28 PM

Not funny

Randy Nielsen 09-09-2012 11:55 PM

Maybe this video would be less funny if they showed 5 of the 7 taken by ambulence & maybe even less funny still when the guy that didnt go in the ambulece carried his wife into the hospital with 4 broken ribs, a punctured lung & a broken foot!!!

Cash Bar 09-10-2012 10:42 AM

Funny or not you can use this video....

Thanks to the person that made it you get to watch the slow mo back-n-forth and see what really happened. It's too hard to slow the original video and use it but this one helps do the job.

Randy Nielsen 09-10-2012 10:57 AM

I agree that the slowed down version shows what happened in greater detail & a lot can be learned from it but I do not think watching a real incident of people getting hurt is funny. If it were a scene in a movie that might be different.

Was this post a mistake, or a Freudian slip? "****forbrians"???
