And why did that boat speed up? That was really weird. 

I think the motor straightened out some and let it get up on plane a little.

Yes the circles got progressively bigger, I think that would always happen, I think the cameras were planned. A performance.

Whats the standard procedure to stop a boat when its a run away like that? Seems like the get really close and jump aboard method may has a heck of a risk factor if you miss. 

Last year at Tablerock they drug a ski rope in its path.  The driver of that one died right in front of his resort with his family right there.

I don't think so. There is just no benefit in potentially killing yourself for a video. Those guys had a video because douchebags like that feel they need to video everything.

That is what ran through my mind.  Why would you take videos if you weren't planning for this outcome.  And then, they post the videos on YouTube.

Nah.  Everyone thinks they are KVD and want to make a buck off making fishing videos and the racing to the spot action sequence is part of their video anymore.

Kill switch lanyards should have been on their way out way before now.   Even my 1992 lawnmower shuts down if I leave the seat when it's in gear.  If you're bouncing out of the seat then you need slow down anyway.
