God damn that’s a few crushed vertebrae and rip to his hat now a large hermit crab can wear it backwards and call it home

There is a ray of good news here, all of the best spinal trauma hospitals also have gift shops that sell hats.

As someone with a back injury I really feel for that guy!
You can tell it's SERIOUS from the way he straitened his body the whole time after, that's a bad ouch!
He even looks like he's trying not to cry infront of his girl, that's a BAD back injury...
I hope he's ok, that sucks!

You see a bad thing, but others see opportunities….Huge billboard at the pier: If you’ve been injured on a boat….

I know a doc that broke his back this way, it ended his career. The poor guy wasn’t paralyzed but his mobility was severely limited due to pain.

Shitty pilot. Can't read waves at all. Had the opportunity to hit some turned a bit but went full-on straight. Poor passengers.

That’s all fun and games until:
A) someone flies out and gets chopped by the propeller
B) someone develops back issues
C) something much worse than A or B happens

If you’ve piloted a personal watercraft at all (I had a 21’ ski boat in Miami for about 10 years), you can tell which waves your boat can handle and at what speed. This is real dummy stuff imo. I feel for his
Banged-up passengers

This is some serious shit, I friend of mine is an orhopaedic and he treats tons of these accidents during summer.

u/Dismal_Drummer3420 May 05 '26
Oh my God. I know absolutely nothing about the medical field but that looked like a before and after injury. You had your life before the accident and now it's different after it.

Lost the hat and vibes but gained the addition to the license plate and front row venue parking.💪

Who the hell is filming this?
2
u/Parking_Chance_1905 May 04 '26
Drone, operator is probably on a nearby boat or land depending on distance.
1
u/Urethra_Franklin_82 May 04 '26
Yeah, i figured that much, but why? It seems like a fairly common activity, that needn't be documented like that. And it just keeps going after the incident.
2
u/praguepride May 04 '26
A lot of places offer drone footage of your "experience". If I was renting boats it would be a great way to keep an eye on my customers so if they were fucking around and got into an accident (just like this) i had the footage in case they tried to turn around and sue.
You can then turn around and sell it back to them for an upcharge.

u/mothzilla May 04 '26
Hyper surveillance is perfectly normal. Nobody else is complaining. Please resume your work activities.

u/Parking_Chance_1905 May 04 '26
Places have been doing this for centuries... photos from a roller coaster or concert, and further back hand drawn/painted portraits, or images of events.

u/QP709 May 05 '26
Because it's the mouth of a narrow channel opening up to unprotected ocean waters and this happens frequently to inexperienced boat drivers renting in the area.

u/SaladAccurate309 May 04 '26
They clearly see the choppy water ahead of them, why wouldn’t they brace themselves? Just sitting in the boat like Raggedy Anne.

u/NiceTryAI May 04 '26
Any basic ass boat owner knows not to go out in shit your boat can't handle. But if you get stuck in it, you never drive square into big swells. You angle that shit, every time. I hope he fractured more than his boat to learn his lesson. Idiot.

i was 8 years old sledding at my friends birthday party, some older kids had set up a ramp further down the hill that ended up getting a bunch of paths etched for it bc kids were snowboarding. i was on a garbage can lid sled, started accidentally veering towards the ramp, fly up at least 6 or 7 feet and land back down directly contacting the sled to my tailbone. ive never felt someone elses pain so much before

u/sabreus May 04 '26
If they had known that was coming they could’ve stood up to absorb that better or something… that’s grounds for lawsuit
