Foolish is right! Sorry, I must be the fun police! Not a boat person, not a water person, not a being out high speed on the water person wearing almost nothing in the blazing sun with the wind whipping you around, no where to hang on, everyone standing up. Yuck!

If I was offered an opportunity to get on that boat and go out for a ride, I cannot think of something I would detest the idea of more. Sorry! Feet on the ground, being in control of vehicles is more my speed. And so many people go out, get liquored up, drive too fast, act crazy. I couldn't really tell all that happened, even after watching it 3 times, other than they must have made a hard turn or hit a wave and people lost their balance and got hurt.
 
I wouldn't mind getting on a boat with a responsible captain.
First mistake was not having something to hold on to securely.
If you watched the "captain's" face, you could see he didn't look happy, actually looked kind of mad.
Was it intentional? Looked like it nearly knocked him out.
Well, he's an idiot.
Kept on upping the throttle. I'll say it again using a different word. Jerk.
It was overcast. Guys are wearing tshirts and shorts, females...? not sure what that was they had on. Little pieces of boo hankies and yarn?
He was going too fast.

Your other video...explains why environmentalists say the water vehicles, ski doos and such, damage the environment with all the morons that don't know how to operate them.

People should have to have training to operate motor boats like cars and airplanes.And especially guns!
We had training for both guns and boats. Power Squadron is our freind. I get upset with some family who thinks they just buy a gun for protection,not my kids but cousins and their kids.

Clearly you need much more talented people when it comes to stupid.
We are the pros, do not attempt:

(and I am so grateful to have something besides "Endless Panic" stuff to watch) :thumbs:

Yes, but what is important is whether what you are doing puts someone else's life at risk, or not.

Yes that is even more foolish for allowing it. I tell them let me out or off whichever one is the need. Only time Iliked fast cars was when I was driving,lol. Whats good about drag races,only on driver allowed in the car. Unles street drag of course,I'd get out.
 
And here I was thinking "people do foolish things" and "strange bed fellows" was the same thread. :rolleyes:

Edit... I meant "unexpected bed fellows"...

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.

Was watching rioters umbrellas being shredded by rubber bullets fired by police in Portland. Or... The idiots version of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Either way, I just know that had to really hurt.
 
Non lethal does not mean it should not hurt.

As a matter of fact it should hurt so much that they were wishing it was lethal.
