I have seen the video about a dozen times on another web site that I go to. There has been a lot of discussion as to what brand boat it was. If my memory is correct the boat was made buy a small company called Dominator that I think is no longer in business. Around 1:04 and 3:43 if you take a good look it appears to say DonimatorX2 on the top cap.
Regardless of boat brand there are examples of what not to do in the video along with examples that saved his life. Thankfully he was wearing a life vest and a kill switch. I am sure the results from the wreck would have been much worse if he was not using his saftey equipment.
I know a lot of boats chine walk but his set up seemed to chine walk to the point of losing control even when he was running in light chop. His set up needs adjustment to make the chine less severe. Crossing a wake at full trim wide open throttle while the boat is in a heavy chine walk is a recipe for what people saw in the video. I mean no ill words towards the boater and I am thankful that he is alive but he had poor driving judgement and I bet he learned a valuable lesson.
If you know somebody that just got their first "high preformance" boat the viedo would be a good one for them to watch.
