And the owner did admit that he didn,t see the wake in time. He did NOT blame the wavemaker. He took full responsabilty. That my friends, is a real man.

Yep, HE did, however if you go back and re read the thread you will find a PILE of people claiming it WASN'T his fault, that was my point, since I didn't see anyone making "excuses" on this thread.

I walked in to the TV on inside edition and the headline was this story
so I watched and apparently the boat owner is going to be charged with reckless operation and endangerment
also they showed some of the aftermath and the hotty in the yellow is a real trooper she was helping her daughter in the purple who had a broken eye orbital and then she started helping the captain asking him if his back was OK which apparently it was OK enough for him to stand back up and get try and get it back together
thumbs up to her especially for holding it together even though it looks like she took it as bad as anyone

Still can't believe this is still being hashed out.. Drivers fault plain and simple. Would people still be blaming this or that if the driver just came on and said, "yeah, I f'ed up"??
I roll my boat turning. (not steps) My fault
I stuff due to tripping. (not the wind/waves) My fault
Get a speeding ticket. (not speedos) My fault
Hit the ramp with prop. (not ramp designers) My fault
Run out of gas. (not gauges) My fault
Are people egos that BIG that nobody can simply take responsibility for their actions? Grow up people. It's not the cruiser, channel, passenger, boat manufacturer, engine builder, bouy makers, etc. when you are the driver behind the wheel away from the dock you and only you as the captain are 100% entrusted by your passengers expecting to return safely.

The thing that deters many from ownein up is the second they say "I made a mistake" The lawyers decend and the lawsuits start The leagle system makes it dificult to own up and change your behaviour, somone always wants to get paid

i agree no one takes responsability anymore and We SHOULD stand up when we make a mistake
