They need to really crack down on the jet skiers, this is a constant reaccrance on all waters! Problem stems from the renters ( weekend warrior ) who rent for a day with there buddy's and they are off heading every direction with no knowledge of water courtesy, and the do's and dont's ! Im not against anyone having a good time on the water as long as they are under control and acknowledge that other watercraft are out there as well !!

Glad everyone was ok !

I probably would have shot that jetskier

it looks as though there might not have been as bad a collision as it could have been.....that jet ski might be one of the ones with "brakes" because they are coming in really fast and slow down really quick when they are topping the wake on the left and are almost at a full stop by the time they cross the right wake

also the fact that the person being pulled goes down (I think because they saw it coming) probably saved them from having broken knees in the worst way, but the ski went right over them and if it has any type of after market fin that could be major back damage.....it looks like the person being pulled was just under the water as well so they possibly got very very lucky overall

the jetski owner would have had a major beating and I would have flat taken their ski from them....I would have just said your **** is mine swim ***** and taken it.....after I pounded them with the fire extinguisher or shot them or both

I'd be in court with a copy of this video. Taking the PWC would just be the start...

Any word on the condition of the wakeboarder? That was a horrible incident to watch. Attempted vehicular homicide comes to mind.

That sucks, any word on the wake boarder?

This is the response from the wakeboard forum I found the video on.

"Yeah how this happen was messed up; the guy on jet ski is actually the older brother to the girl wakeboarding & I don't really know him. But anyways he was drinking & thought it would be cool to try to scare his sister & yeah the video shows end result. She is fine but was definitely shaken up & luckily the only part that hit jet ski was the board itself."

Thanks, I needed to hear that. Been a bad day.
