Maybe just me but everyone seems to be running along fine until someone just runs out of brains...

that he did...ran out of room, should have back down, not arguing that one bit...his fault 100%..still, boat had plenty lake/river to the right IMO no need to make that hard turn in front like that unless that's shallow water or something else I don't see.

I know this has been discussed a million times by Monday morning quarter backs but if you know the lake, that is virtually the narrowest part besides the back side of the island and as you travel towards Havasu spring (as they were) the lake bends to the left (port). Doesn't appear anyone cut anyone off. It appears everyone was making the turn except those that weren't familiar with the lake.

its funny that the photo clearly shows one silver boat to close to another silver boat and everyone is only blamming one of the two boats. well that and all the agressive posters are people from la. it takes two to make that accident happen and the smaller boat should have backed it down but the bigger boat "probably" should not have put himself so close in front of the boat to it's left to start the problem either.

I have watched that video countless times and I see it the same way as I did the very first time. he should have backed down but the river has way more room to the right, that's obvious. I didn't say he cut him off either I just made the observation that he had plenty of room to his right to continue running the line he was on.

I think it's been pretty well proven that the real root cause was a cruiser wake. (Sometimes I crack myself up.)

Boatless & Lariverratt- so if you stop at a green light and the car behind you rear ends you, does that make it your fault? I mean cause that's basically what your trying to say about the boat in front. Mainly this is directed at you Boatless- Get a F In clue dude. If this and if this lets blame the bigger boat in front. What's next? You gonna blame the Wright Bros. for 911??? Come on Man!!

the crowd here is far than a little bit biased to start with is more prevailing than the actual truth. it like blaming the girl who got pregnant and not her partner. the cut off part is true and regardless if there was a ufo off to the right it does not make one excusable for ones own actions nor less their own culpability.

You are entitled to your Opinion, but that's all you have is an opinion! Cut off? Maybe you should know the whole story, know that weather they should have been or not, they were running COMPETITIVELY!! The 41 is out front, which he dictates the line, the 35 went to go behind him, and chose not to turn. You see it as a cut off. Most of us know it as the person out in front dictates the way things go. It's an unfortunate incident. But the bigger problem now- is how Bo is handling himself and the incident as well as the crazy threats he's now making. Just look at the ad he had up!
