the video has 3 million views, so I know 1 million probably from TFF. I haven't been around that long though. In the FLW Everstart tournaments I Co you cross wakes like this all the time and worse. Scary what happened and I don't see an obvious mistake except he was way too fast. So just a mistake too fast or did he do something else wrong too? It sure got out of hand in a hurry.

In the video you attached, it jumps to around 1:24. Check this out and watch him before the crash. He was showing off and running fast for the camera and unfortunately almost got killed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UEETjztLqI

I believe I read some facts on this a long time ago. I think the boat is a Legend. The report I read was it was a customer boat that the guy driving was working on and had taken it out for a test ride after working on the motor or the prop, cannot remember which. The Legend was a very similar hull to a Bullet and has a tendency to hook when the front end come down after being trimmed to high. Been there and done that with a Bullet and it will get your attention.

Rob, my question since the first time I viewed this film is, if the camera was that close, how in the HECK did the man stay in the water for 10 minutes, with his world-class life vest keeping his allegedly K-O'd arse's head above water? I mean really, C'MON MAN!

That was nothing more than an inexperienced dumbazz behind the wheel, or an extremely experienced smartazz attempting to teach all of us a lesson.

Glad he is ok. Now with that said, please use common sense.
