Passenger should have held on to that protruding bimini mount a little bit tighter. Then he wouldn't have flown out. :D

Jeeeesus, he jumped in that thing real close to the transom and almost didn't make it either. Foot barely made the back of the bimini....

That thing handles like a flat bottom skiff.

And he almost face planted. And if he went a little further he could've joined the two ejectees in the drink

The guy that jumped in the boat, was the guy that got pitched out. Maybe it was the wide-angle lens, but I would have wanted to get a little closer before I jumped.

Yeah I was thinking they should of actually came right up against it, they were correctly on the inside of the circling boat as they should have been. Seems like just coming up next to it would have been an easier transfer.
Still, good job getting it shut down.
That dude should go retrieve and keep the beer cooler before picking up dumb and dumber from the water.

Where's the other dude? He still swimming or what? Oh and don't take that life vest off yet buddy. I don't care if it's blown up, you still have to get back to the dock and I doubt that one dip in the water taught you enough to now be "safe" driving that skiff.:D:D:D

How about wearing a fucking lanyard! I had this happen to a customer no lanyard no life vest got thrown out and the boat came around and hit him in the head and he drowned.

I don't understand why the boat sped up as it was circling.

Those 2 guys should be thanking their lucky stars that the boat didn't run them over.

X2... Lost a co-worker/friend a few years back, pitched from his bass boat while running the delta, boat circled & either ran him over or he attempted to catch it, prop caught the top of his legs, all bad.

Looked like the guy that jumped in was the original driver.

Are these guys jacking up the motor too high, and blowing out the prop?

Pretty common occurrence when you're over trimmed and turning hard. Bow comes down and the vee catches the water first throwing the back around spinning the boat. Don't think for one second this can't happen to any Vee bottom. It can.

Watching that I was thinking the same thing... I don't think he realized how close to death he really was?

Then to do all that with a life jacket that goes around your neck? :D If he didn't make it, he'd be having a real bad day.
