After seeing the full length video the only thing I can say is....dammn that is a nice sounding boat cruising by around the three minute mark!
Hope all that were involved have fully recovered.

Couple thoughts new thoughts that came to me after viewing the above footage.
1) As soon as the girl in middle said "OUCH" and a few four letter words after hurting her hand by sticking it in the bolster while looking for additional grip; the boat should have been brought off plain and the situation addressed. If the Captain was not aware of the injury, someone should have brought it to his attention.
2) I've been around this sport for a while, and spent 10 years as a FF/EMT. I've seen some really bad shlt. After watching all 6+ minutes of this video, especially the aftermath; I get sick to my stomach.

3) I think there is a garment malfunction at 2:18-ish on the green bikini.
Just trying to be observant!

I think that this driver has taken enough heat but this video shows half a dozen things done wrong. Passengers without seats or proper hand holds, guy drinking a beer, guy on swim platform when driver planes out, no tether, no life jackets, not enough monitoring by driver. Maybe Tres can use it in his course as an example of what not to do. I am glad that no one died and no one was really seriously injured. The younger girl never looked comfortable and should not have been on board. Fortunately now we can all learn from this video.

I'm in full agreement about laughter, Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
Very happy to hear that all are ok ! This video has already changed a lot of people's boating habits and brought awareness of how dangerous this sport can be !
With that being said .....The " PLANKING " comment had me on the floor laughing hard enough to wake up my wife! Funniest comment I've read on here !
