Pulled behind SA450 but yeah a Jet ski almost takes out this chick & on top of that it was her first time wakeboarding. She is fine but shaken up, luckily the board was only thing that hit Jet Ski.

That is just ridiculous if you ask me!!! Having had an eerily similar event happen to me while skiing years ago this video sent chills up and down my spine. I hope they throw the book and then some at that jet ski operator.

There is no amount of verbal context I can say to show the amount of full blown rage that would have happened right then and there. I'm pretty sure I'd go to jail for what would happen next. If that was my wife, I can guarantee it.

This guy better not be allowed to own another boat, ever. And should be doing some serious fines. I know the courts won't put a guy in jail for this for long. But that's why I'd handle it on the lake. No amount of apologizing can excuse that.

If that were me, id be looking for ways to dispose of a body. The jetski would be much easier to disassemble. what a jerk*ff. I hope this guy got what he deserves...

Yup. Don't think there is any more to be said.

It would be a waste I bet. The people that are on jet ski forums are probably like this forum with the responsible boaters being the majority of the crowd. That a$$ clown was probably out on a friends jet ski, a rental jet ski, or just doesn't care enough to know what they are/were doing. Not worth the effort in my opinion to go posting on some jet ski forum.

I see it as a gene pool issue, particularly one of low genetic diversity. Inherent indeed.

Thus we should clean the "pool", quickly and quietly.

I heard on wakeworld that is was her brother trying to scare her and got to close. No excuse I would have ran him over with the boat and asked how he liked it.

What's the point of trying to scare someone who is trying to learn something new? No excuse whatsoever.

Things like this happen too often. People see the wake they go for it. I clotheslined one a couple years back when he came between me and the boat just as we were coming out of the hole. Few weeks later had one ride my a$$, jump my whitewash and fall off. His ride hit mine, I'm pretty sure when he swam back to my boat to his ski to get on, it somehow had a broken kill switch ;-). Can't confirm not deny how fun it was for him to swim his ski back up river to his dock. Ha, but I never saw him out again.

Wow, I agree with the sentiment so far. It would have been a bad day for the person on the ski.

Oh man, even worse. I'd hate to be the dad on that one. "Son, I really should kill you, really. But instead I'm going to have to beat you back to the stone ages. You're an idiot, but I love you, this is gonna hurt".
