I might feel bad for them if they weren't clearly going to fast.

Is it bad that I'm a little disappointed the boat didn't capsize and sink?

This reminds me of something....

Most people simply refer to those "demon baby things" as children.

I don't understand why the driver passes out???

I don't think he passes out, I think his momentum carries him to the floor as the boat goes from being airborne (on it's side) to hitting the water and basically coming to a complete stop. Everyone else in the boat is bracing themselves against something and so they don't appear to move (as much) although most slam into a wall or chair, etc.. The driver didn't have anything to stop him from hitting the floor.

I think it would make a great Physics problem for college.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

does the physics problem come with the bikini clad women? :eyebrows:

 

[Capt Worley PE]

^That's a different sort of problem.

I was intrigued so I googled searched it.

Here's the story behind it.

http://www.news-leader.com/interactive/article/20120906/LIFE06/309060047/BOATING-ACCIDENT-LAKE-OF-THE-OZARKS

I looked up a Fountain 38. Wow that's a hell of a boat. One video of a simialr boat on youtube showed twin supercharged Chevy 502's and claimed a top speed of 115.

That was a TMM (To Much Money) accident. Same thing that happens when a wealthy guy buys more airplane than he has experience to handle.

Cars, too. Remember the tales of the 427 Cobra owners that never lived to make the first payment.

I have little sympathy for these idiots. My parents live on a lake and these jokers are out tearing around the lake at dangerous speeds on a lake that is way to crowded. You can see in the CNN video that there were lots of other boats in the area so to be "doing over 100" as one passenger in the story estimates, is just irresponsible. I really wasn't kidding when I said I was disappointed that the boat didn't capsize and sink. I don't really wish harm on the passengers, I just wish there was one less of these watercraft on the lake.

Flexibility is important.

The article says that he was participating in a race of some sort and hit the wave from another boat. I hear about going wild on a busy lake, but it's got to be a pretty dang big lake to support a 38 ft boat with that kind of power. It's irresponsible to be cranking along like that and not tell your passengers that they need to sit down and hang on (not to mention himself). that's why he got the fines.

FWIW I'm pretty jealous, I'd love to have a boat like that, but I think I'd tire of it pretty quickly.

A non-sanctioned race. In other words it was a group of these yahoos who got together and decided, "Hey lets take our obnoxiously loud boats and tear from one end of the lake to the other while showing a total disregard for other boaters on the lake!"

P.S. - get off my lawn kids! ldman:

 

[Master slacker]

Whoa... you have "lawn kids"? If so, why would people be on your "lawn kids"?

To make yourself look less like a slave driver, you may want to make it "get off my lawn, kids!"

Just sayin'
