I pulled up some old pics of the boat upsidown as we came up on it at our event. I do not have a full membership right now or I would post. It is a sobering photo
Pat they still need teathers and life jackets (did not help at SOTW) but still a good idea and you are correct if we do not act differently in our boats during a poker run this whole thing will be GAME OVER

I hope everyone can keep this in the back of their mind every time you go out. This could have been anyone of us. It only takes a second of lost concentration and that guy is you. I find it interesting that the stern camera has not made it's way online yet. I am guessing it was the boat owners and destroyed. It would have been interesting to see if it provide a better picture of the conditions. As for many guys stating he was showing off for the camera, I disagree. Once you own a few Go Pros you don't even know they are there until something happens and you go back and watch it. Cameras are inexpensive and most have them these days. I know many boats including myself that run multiple cameras every poker run. I am just happy everyone will recover.

Life vest were mandatory, right off the website: http://www.lakeoftheozarksshootout.o...rrunterms.html
There is also a 70MPH speed limit on The Lake's Poker Runs as well.
[I]TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4) Personal flotation devices (PFD's/Life Jackets) are mandatory and are to be worn by all participants during this event while the boat is in operation. If you are not wearing life jackets - there will be no pictures taken of your boat and you will not be shown on the DVD made of the event. All drivers should have kill switch lanyards attached during the poker run.

Is it just me or is the rapid throttling edited out of the original link?
Edit it was just me.

Not that it matters and is a bad scene and memory for many, I do not know the people involved but I watched that OL role by Holland at the SOTW poker run and have many pics of the boat getting pulled in the channel upside down. when it rolled it looked like a atomic bomb went off!
