Thoughts and prayers to all involved, the videos are pretty terrifying in themselves, I can't imagine what that ride felt like. Just the sounds in this one give me the willies..

Correct I think this post had the people on board status backwards. Watched the boats owner get out under his own power. MF on a back board. Very serious but I'm resrving comment out of respect.

Yes I am pretty sure Joel was the one that got out of the boat first.

Horrible accident and I hope for good full recovery. Mike is a strong person and if anyone can come out of this OK it's him. So releived they are both alive. That in its self is amazing.

The videos are crazy. That canopy held up amazingly well considering the impact and speeds.

Mike

Both Joel and Mike are in great hands at top medical/trauma facilities.
Out of respect to each of them, there family and close friends it would be ideal not to speculate incorrect information on the extent of there injuries and treatment at this time.

They appreciate all the thougths. prayers and support

Judging from the videos I've seen, that must have been terrifying to be in that boat.. I just spoke to Mike a few days ago.. My thoughts and prayers are with all involved..
