I think they are saying don't buy one of those dangerous CC boats!

^^^ I knew it!!

Nate 6.0 , all his fault really .

So you ready to help push me off the sand bar?

I would have figured he would have cleared the props,falling out the back ,maybe he went over side and got pulled under?

I think, easier to have happen than what we think.

I've been in the situation on my boats, a few times where I thought of how easy that would be to have happen.

Very scary and can't even imagine having it happen or being a witness to it.

...Or he was on the bow platform at speed and bounced forward. Article said it was a 18' flats Mako - helm to engine length is about the height of a person. To go from helm area, over the side and all the way in front of the prop seems like a lot in a few second but I guess it can happen.

There was a young girl up in the Muskoka's that was riding in the bow of their family 200 Nautique open bow. They hit a wave and she bounced out of the boat and was clipped by the prop and lost part of her leg.. That was a sad day as they were nice kids.

However it happened, this guy's life will not be the same.

Guy doesn't look as bad as I thought he would:

WEST PALM BEACH — A boating accident, that resulted in horribly disfiguring injuries to Daniel Pena when he was thrown overboard and sliced by his own vessel’s propeller, wasn’t caused by a wake from another watercraft but by a steering malfunction, an attorney representing the suburban Lake Worth man said Wednesday.

Shortly after filing a lawsuit in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, attorneys representing the 33-year-old married father of two say they will seek millions from Tracker Marine in connection with the March 5 crash on the Intracoastal Waterway about a mile south of the Ocean Avenue bridge in Lantana.

Can't possibly be an accident or act of God. Must be manufacturer's fault.

Accidents and God don't have any money.........Hopefully the manufacturer has a one liner in their owners manual that states "lanyards must be used at all times"
