Biggest crash/get off

[mydixiewrecked]

I'm doing a informative speech in class about pwc safety. I need a video of a bad wreck or get off to show why wearing your protective gear is important. I could also use one of a run away ski showing why wearing a lanyard is a must
Thanks guys

There was a pretty good example posted in the Wavedaze thread from the sit down race

I know its not a video, but you could show this along with your video.

Heres the local story for me: http://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/63963/There-s-a-hole-in-my-boat-dear-Liza

Thanks owen. Last ten minutes i've been searching for that picture to show why lanyards are a good idea

 

[Profound-Dynamics]

Theres a picture I saw a couple weeks ago of a blaster that went through a sailboat. It was really good. Ill see if I can find it for you.

Anybody know what video has the superjet (I think) that runs into his buddy that cut in front of him? I know that's vague but the only way I can describe it

^ Thats crazy.....

 

[mydixiewrecked]

Yes sir! Thank you!

Damn, that vid brought flashbacks. Chasing a buddy cause he got a new pipe, having too much fun, all of a sudden hes coming right at me, BAM!! Goes right over the hood of my SN, I bailed right before, thank god, expecting to see a gaping hole in my hood. There was almost no damage at all, to the ski, or myself.

I wonder how often wrecks like that happen. People not looking before they turn, or just not giving themselves enough room. Ive been guilty before and since the crash. I dunno

 

[FearMyWrX]

Yeah, thats nuts. I always try to stay clear of other riders. Unless it's just me an an buddy, side by side and we are both aware we are there. Still dangerous but whatever.

Thats as far as flat water. Surf can get crazy too because other riders are very unpredictable. They could be circling around waiting for a wave or whatever. Distance can be your friend for surf.

happened to me once. riding a SN, brother riding a old pink vxr he was behind me i turned in a circle and he came right up on me. not as bad as above but the ski needed some work after.

proper maintence is a good thing to talk about also.

 

[mydixiewrecked]

What happened there? throttle stuck? Couldn't turn?

If you hit your head hard enough, this can happen... even with a helmet
