Another reason we ALL should wear our safety lanyards

[FLBulldogger]

Just found this anyone know the details, regardless, this is scary stuff! GHOST RIDER, you can skip to about 16 seconds into the video and watch.

 

[AZMark]

Wow!!
She must have made a conscious decision to get up and walk away from the helm and then fallen off the bow or stern.
I don’t see how you could possibly fall all the way out of the boat from the drivers seat in one of these. They don’t turn THAT hard.

Yikes! Glad the bilge is working!

 

[anmut]

LOL at that poor Yamaha hitting the dock...

 

[Tyguy]

Ouch. Glad no one was hit. We added a bright yellow foam wrist strap to our lanyard to make it easy to wear....and float in case it goes overboard.

 

[Adrian @ JB Solutions]

Another boating incident with so many questions and very little answers...

 

[JPINOT]

Wonder if she's interested in selling? Glad no one was injured though!

It’s hilarious how it keeps trying to motor over and then the way the video is edited looks like it finally gives up & turns on it’s bilge pump in defeat

LOL right? Proof that Yamaha's have souls.

In this market I would still buy it for the right price

They do if you're drunk... Just sayin'

New law in Texas... law requires operators of boats less than 26 feet in length that are equipped with an ignition safety kill switch to use it whenever the vessel is moving at greater than headway speed. Headway speed is defined as slow, idle speed, or speed only fast enough to maintain steerage on course.

Kali’s Law was established in response to the fatality of Kali Gorzell, a 16-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a boat propeller near Aransas Pass in 2012.

It seems like that has been law in Illinois forever

 

[rkluck]

Clearly she had to leave the driver's area to get to a place she could fall out.

Was there, by any chance, a Trump Boat Parade in the area?

Here’s another one you guys may have seen. Wear your lanyard!

Wow.......

 

[Quad]

Here’s another one you guys may have seen. Wear your lanyard!

Jeez, that makes me all kinds of sick to my stomach. The guy leaps onto his boat at 30mph. You can see his adrenaline come-down.

Yeah he almost missed..........but frankly was a pretty good jump considering 1) no practice jump 2) I am assuming he is not a Hollywood stunt guy.......

Had to look up the story....

Texas Senate passes Kali’s Law in honor of teen killed in boating accident

The law requires boaters to use their emergency cut-off switch.

What the heck do they mean when they say "Robert was just making a gradual turn and the boat swapped ends 180 degrees".....doesn't sounds like something physics allows????
