someone with very little wheel time has no business running a boat like that at haul over inlet. the dude with “50” years experience should have seen those waves from a mile away and shut the driver down before it got ugly.
Glad no one got killed. Speedy recovery to everyone involved.

+1 on the speedy recovery and I am sure the ambulance chasers are converging

Your first responsibility as a captain is to the person(s) sitting next to you and behind you, the second is yourself, and third your equipment if you care. If I think about it, this clown is actually worse than the Lotto dude, the only difference is there was no Go-Pro on the dash to record this carnage. If you look closely those passengers in the back were practically levitated off the floor before crashing down.
Sweet friggin boat though.

Yes you can see them probably close to a foot off the floor before impact. I watched this a half dozen or so times now and get more pissed each time I watch. There is no excuse for being a complete irresponsible idiot with others lives in his hands. Considering the injuries of those passengers they will likely be impacted the rest of their lives in one way or another.
I’ve always told people when they get in my boat there are always risk. Riders always wanna go fast, jump waves etc. Well most anyway. I just drive with the best of my capabilities and have fun with the safety of others always top priority.
I was running hot on lake mi south of grand haven while a 32 AT was approaching at close to 80 in 3 to 4 plus footers and my stbd drive popped out of gear. Didn’t end well and coulda been worse however my friends wife ended up in the hospital with 2 broken ribs and several bruises. I felt horrible.... absolutely horrible even though they insisted I didn’t get passed by the AT.
That was equipment failure for sure. The boat recently had the same side drive and cable replaced at the factory and the cable had stretched. I learned a valuable lesson. Check all like a captain of a plane prior to departure.
Am i mistaking or does it appear the cig is running 60 to 70 mph. Wtf... Would liked to have seen someone choke his little bird neck and taken over the helm.

Cigarette racing posted this vid as if it was funny and cool on Instagram .
I don`t think people getting hurt and someone breaking their back is funny at all.
Driver is a fuc king idiot you never go that fast at those types of waves, this dude is worse then the fountain guy .
I think he thought he was going to be handling those waves like Allez Vite
but he has neither the boat or the skills .

Not to call you out like a dick but the "Cigarette Racing team" that posted it is NOT Cigarette them self and is not run by Cigarette.
@cigaretteracingteam - is the real Cigarette run page and the video is no where on there. They have the blue check mark and their last post was 5 days ago and was the new 42x running near the Glacier.
@cigaretteracing - posted the video and a separate and personally run account not owned, run, or affiliated with Cigarette themselves.
Just dont want to see a brand or person get slammed for something they actually didnt say or post is all.
