Lakes and oceans are pretty big, them niggas did that on purpose!

The video description tells the story.

He was not even at the fucking wheel. Probably multitasking and thought he had a minute of clear water ahead of him.

Shit looked terrifying.

The thing is boats aren't policed anywhere near the levels of cars. Once they leave land motherfuckers can get blind drunk or lifted and nobody will do a damn thing until something happens.

Those jet skis are even worse.

That boat was too big to go at that speed without someone on the flying bridge and I didn't see anyone.

From the thread title, I thought it was going to be a cigarette or racing boat but this is crazy.

 

[ZuluSam]

when the boat is trimmed up the bow is so high you can't see what is in front of you...so you have to adjust speed or line of site...pure ignorance....,,more dollars than sense

 

[nworba]

in order to see stuff, you have to be looking!

 

[850credit]

No surviving that collision.

Any movie recommendations that have jump overboard scenes like this?

Best I can do on short notice

I fish from the dock or the lakeside. Never was big on boat fishing.

Shit was terrifying and satisfying to watch at the same time.

See how fast life can come at you.

I bet his ass see that lawsuit

"Local law enforcement accuse the boat driver of several crimes after the 75-year-old told investigators he couldn’t see where he was driving because he was sitting down and the dash of his boat was blocking his view. The driver said he probably should have been standing, according to the sheriff’s report, which notes he uses a motorized scooter to get around on land.


Mfkr had no business behind the wheel of that boat.....

I thought it was basic knowledge not to go fast on lakes or near the shoreline.

 

[ZuluSam]

I am an avid boater, both power boats and sail boats, and it never ceases to amaze me at how many people have no idea what they are doing. How the fuck do you drive wide open when you can't see where you are going.....what kind of brain does that?

 

[Coldchi]

I thought it was basic knowledge not to go fast on lakes or near the shoreline.

yeah most lakes have rules set to where you're not supposed to go more than 5 - 10mph if you're within 60-200ft from the shoreline.......or if its a crowded lake.

 

[Deezz]

This is the same reason those squatted trucks need to be illegal everywhere. Once your front-end is all the way in the air, you can't see shit in front of you!!

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

Reminds me of the boat scene from Caddyshack..

 

[tanks1]

The duck boats...............

 

[850credit]

Reminds me of when I was driving to New Orleans, hit stopped traffic ahead, and a Dodge Ram was bearing down on me from behind full speed!

I had nowhere to go, had to brace for impact.

Luckily he saw me and swerved last second or he would have rear ended me at probably 80 mph.

Terrifying feeling when you see it coming and can't escape!
