wow, how he didnt crater his head on the hullside is BEYOND me!
That is crazy glad to hear he is okay.
If it took the friends 10 minutes to retrieve his unconscious body they should be shot!
Sucks but those boats suck for anything wave related.....
What a moron. Not even the correct angle in that type of hull design...
I guess ok is a relative term ie; cracked sternum, broken ribs, bleeding around sternum and almost broken neck and collarbone! :lurk5:
Seriously though, I've seen and experienced more accidents pleasure boating over the years from boat wakes than anything else.. My friend billy broke a few vertibrea from a tug boat wake in the east river on a 35' Sonic... It wasn't very fun watching it happen from a hunded yards away, jumping on the boat and holding his neck straight in fear it might have been broken... and this was only @ 70 mph. Live and learn I suppose.... :(
Oh my God. That was nasty. I hate those little boats.
Boat wakes can be ok. I mean... that video of No Reservations (41 Apache) hitting a cruiser wake with lots of hull in the water at a very reasonable speed, he got a little lift but the boat barely changed it's attack angle to the water, which was dam near parallel.
The boat was in complete control the whole time. I don't even think that his drives left the water. It was really an overtaking situation, but the boat he was overtaking had a wake.
You won't get me in one of those bass boats.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over trimmed. Someone said he was experienced?? In what? Redneckery? Tool
I wouldn't want to be the guy that pulls someone with neck injuries out of the water only to make the injuries worse.
I like how the poster of the video replied to one person comment that the Bass boat driver was experienced and had has jumped waves before. Well just becuase you have ass in the seat time doesn't always mean you know what your doing.
Guys lucky he did not snap his neck and end up in a wheel chair eating with the assistance of a tube.
ouch!!:(
Don't be jumpin' boat wakes...oh...ya mean like THIS?!
This is bound to get some comments from our little peanut gallery:

Holy phuck! What was that guy thinking?...Glad he's okay, but in all fairness that was inevitable.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
