Saw this today as well.. Watch a lot of these videos on YouTube as I deal with being in the off-season in Iowa ? Seeing this reminds me why I tell people to sit down while docking just in case I have to make a quick maneuver.

Stickers are cheaper than a real 4x4. Lol
But in all seriousness Z71 is a suspension option package

I dont think he is novice as he manages okay after the incident. I think he might have panicked a bit because he was reversing rather aggressively and at 1:06 he noticed boat coming right behind him. Look at the timing. He turns his head and then immediately power ups.

The cross currant at that dock is not for the faint of heart. The boat crossing behind is not even close its the camera angle that compress the distance.
I'm with Julian needs more experience.............you can see he was drifting way to much and not using the jets enough to keep bow control. We have all been their done that.........at lease I have. People standing on back deck under power/docking NOT AT ALL a good idea.

Nearly a 9 minute video for that? The over the top narrating and corny fake reactions make these kinds of videos unbearable to me.

I always put the Capitan in the fault chair, when someone goes overboard...........Back deck use under power is a no way no how.
Yes over the top narrating
