    From the video it doesn't look like anyone is telling the driver to slow down. I'd bet if we saw the whole video we would see that not only did they travel at that rate of speed for sometime before the mishap, but also that none of the passengers objected.

    Sometimes we need to take responsibility for the situations we put ourselves in and not look to blame others for our own actions. Everybody wants to sue anymore.

    The report said "filmed by our own Lake TV crew." I bet the pilot was showing off for the camera.

    You don't have to drive recklessly to have that happen to you. My buddy and I were headed back to the ramp after a full day of fishing. The boat traffic was terrible and the wind was really whipping. Out of nowhere there were two big waves in a row and the end result was just what you saw in that video except my buddy was thrown from the boat and I ended up with my head next to the motor. I still have a knot in my head and that happened two or three years ago. We didn't see those big waves until we were on them because of the chop on the water and all the boat traffic.

    Man...those people got ROCKED!!! Scary stuff...I agree that this can happen to a degree without being reckless, but I have a feeling that guy was just showing off and going way to fast...I probably would have also if I had some pretty ladies in bikinis to impress! Unfotunately for me its usually just my fat, hairy buddy with me...
