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.

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.

Oh boo hoo, you did something stupid and paid for it and now the net thinks you are a joke. Post the deal with it gif for me in response to that tool.

They got pretty fucked up...I mean clearly they were making some stupid decisions with there life...But you can't sit there and say you've never put your own life in danger before.

I am intrigued at how limp he looked when the driver flew across the boat.

Yes, I have made a lot of bad decisions. I have been made fun of pretty bad for some of my bad decisions. That's part of learning.

Was hilarious...

Not many of us have made the monumental decision to post the video of almost killing yourself and your friends.

That decision I will never understand.

I think they had a TV camera guy on board based on this comment below from the quote. Which adds to the stupidity while boating like an idiot.

Were they the ones that posted it? Sounds like it was being recorded for a TV show that had the camera on board. It may not have been their decision to release it.

Regardless, its funny and I've laughed at significantly sadder stuff than a group of people hurting themselves from messing up on their six figure toy.
