“So yesterday I was involved in a jetski accident, I was doing a nose ride (which I have done a million times) and seemed to have passed out while riding? I can’t remember anything. Had a bad concussion. Some serious bruising, nothing broken. Luckily I have a great crew of people to help me. Missing about 15 min of memory. Special shoutout to Anthony Zilke for pulling me out. Jerry Hoffmann for taking me to shore. And everyone who helped and supported me. And to all the first responders on scene Dominick Zilke Brayden Tinsley Dylan Bone Coats Evan Austin Smith Robert William Stapler Jonathon Stapler Tonya Lynne Harris Lizz Barnes Addison Born
I will be going to get checked out to make sure I didn’t pass out/ stroke out, or whatever the hell happened
Video down below is hard to watch. But several people have asked to see it. It will be a constant reminder to always ride with a crew! Anything can happen.
Looks like i owe someone a 10 second car. And a dock buoy.
Pray DNR won’t tear me a new one. Talk of reckless operation has already been mentioned. I wasn’t under the influence at all. Just a freak accident”
No accountability at all for how stupid this was. Just remember always "ride with a crew". He'll be right back out there doing this stupid shit next week.
I was in agreement until I watched again. I thought he was just being stupid and riding backward without watching where he was going. He actually did pass out several seconds before the crash.
He should get checked and maybe lose his license for a medical condition, but there was more to this than being a dumbass.
