Why would anybody go that speed across a wake?  I'd also like to know why the video says he was in the water for 10 minutes when the boat filming was right next to him.  But yes you should always wear a life jacket and use a kill switch.

Being a better driver and not such a dumbass would have been better for him than a life jacket and a kill switch.

I would put that at step 2, after the PFD and switch.

Totally agree. Always use both. But don't drive like an idiot. My dad always used to give me a hard time because he said I only knew two throttle positions in a boat, idle and wide open. But he would tell everyone that he never felt unsafe. That guy had the opportunity to get out of that, he just didn't have the intelligence.

I can use every reminder I can get !

It's those short little 1/2 to 2 mile runs (spot to spot)

agreed.....did you see the guys hands twisting the steering wheel around in the one clip???  The worst enemy of this dude was himself.....he was an obvious gaper

I will tell you what I have done is stop wearing hiking shoes and wear shoes that I can kick off.  The old Chrysler only does 22 mph at its sweet spot.

I agree that the guy was an idiot driving like that, but just remember dung happens when we least expect it especially with the idiots on the lake.

The film crew seemed in no hurry to get back to him or once aboard to get him to the hospital.  No urgency whatsoever.  Horrible boat driver.  What kind of boat was that?
