Agreed. I think it's the rag doll effect that intrigues me.

No, Ive been following a discussion about this on facebook. Pretty sure they crossed a wake, the driver turned the boat to the side slightly, and they crossed another wake while continuing to rotate until they hit the water sideways and everybody was thrown. It also looks like everybody in the boat was braced off something, girl in the yellow off the side of the boat, girl in the pink off the chair, and the 4 people in the rear off each other and the side of the boat.

in short they all got fucked up

I quoted this from a Powerboat forum I'm part of.

Came down on top of a big wake trimmed up and running too loose when he hit the wake at possibly an awkward angle. Not enough wetted surface for proper control.

As crazy as it seems, we had jackets for each person but as the poker run began we realized no one else was wearing them..... How foolish we were. I have read so many nasty comments on YouTube and other sites I am in shock. My wife suffered 4 broken ribs, punctured lung and a broken foot. She has not left the house since getting home. She is in severe pain. The driver crushed his eye orbital and broke hus back at T8 ( he is a former F-2 racer with APBA). Another passenger who raced professionally for many years broke his pelvis in several places and is in a wheelchair. One of the other girls crushed her eye orbital also. The guy from lake tv fractured his hip and broke his wrist. My injuries were minor compared, busted my head open and damaged a rib or two. Everyone is black and blue. This was a very upsetting event for everyone involved. I have been around powerboats for many years and it only takes on unguarded minute to loose a life or permanently hurt people you love. I am very thankful this did not end up worse. I hope everyone learns from this. I know I will boat differently. All of the guys in the boat are members of OSO. I think it is necessary to break down the accident and discuss this, just remember these are real people who like you who love power boating and do it every weekend.
