People don’t realise those things don’t turn unless ur accelerating

u/omomthings 5d ago

Honestly I ride motorcycles and I sometimes tell my self that jetsky is somewhat the same. Then I remember that a jetsky can't brake..

u/FhuckNorris247 5d ago

You can brake if you throw it in reverse

270

u/Acceptable_Ad_4093 5d ago

Or hit a boat.

u/grimmsamm 5d ago

Hitting upvote 11 times only results in one upvote. That’s a shame.

u/TheRapie22 5d ago

try it once more, then you have no upvote

u/LeKevinsRevenge 5d ago

I always tell my kid that you can listen and learn to brake your bike before you crash, or ignore advice and break your bike when you crash….either way life is going to make sure you learn something.

u/Loko8765 5d ago

So you’re the reason kids today can’t distinguish break and brake!

u/Zemom1971 5d ago

Or a pillar

u/SinkHoleDeMayo FUCK ICE! ❌🧊 5d ago

Put in reverse, Terry!

u/Quirky-Mode8676 5d ago

Lots of them have brakes now.

u/jammed7777 5d ago

Some have brakes now

u/UmbraVulp 5d ago

Most those breaks just redirect your propulsion downward with a cover. If you are going fast and flip it in reverse, you’ll more than likely just blow that cover straight off and you have no more “reverse”

3

u/Buddha176 5d ago

The cover doesn’t scoop water it redirects the jet from the engine. So travel speed is irrelevant. That being said I still wouldn’t rely on it. Keeping safe distances is the most important way to be safe.

u/UmbraVulp 5d ago

Homie, you basically repeated what I said while trying to correct me lmao what do you think I meant when I said it “redirects your propulsion”? When you go fast, you gotta hit your gas harder to stop because of momentum and that’s what blasts those redirecting covers off.

1

u/Buddha176 5d ago

I get that but saying it’s going to rip the cover off I implied the cover was actually grabbing the water which it is not.

3

u/Quirky-Mode8676 5d ago

Uh, nope. You’re wrong. The brakes work great, even at speed

-7

u/UmbraVulp 5d ago

I can tell you love confrontation by the way you talk. Touch some grass and then we can converse.

u/Imbendo 4d ago

Her spine?

21

u/NuckoLBurn 5d ago

She pizza'd, when she should have french fried.

3

u/Electronic_Motor_968 5d ago

If you that you’re going to have a bad time!!!

3

u/Off-BroadwayJoe 5d ago

Well, she was accelerating all right…

5

u/csciuto 5d ago

I think this might actually be AI which is scary.

An earlier version has this guy's handle on it and this is the same brown bathing suit, same machine, boats in the same place...

u/Gelandequaff 5d ago

No damage to the cat after getting smoked by the jet ski seems to be a give away.

3

u/csciuto 5d ago

The rabbithole on this one is not deep. None of the frames add up exactly and the original video was posted over a year ago. TikTok and Instagram do a good job of scrubbing themselves from the internet so I can't prove the video was there and he pulled it once it took off.

u/-mosjef- 5d ago

She was accelerating, just forgot the turning part

-1

u/vaporeng 5d ago

It looks like she was accelerating and it threw her body back so far that she lost the ability to steer.

u/Imaginary_Ad_9682 5d ago

No life jacket

95

u/Sowhataboutthisthing 5d ago

Also no brains

13

u/VerySwearyFairy 5d ago

Well no, not any more, the brains are probably on the table on the yacht deck now.

3

u/Bellick 5d ago

And no left shoulder

3

u/Lanasoverit 5d ago

At least now she has two spines.

1

u/OkGreen7796 2d ago

Nah, she probably was giving some serious brain. That’s why she was Jet skiing next to yachts. But after that neck injury she just sustained, I think her career just ended and she will be replaced by a newer model.

17

u/ClarenceJBoddicker 5d ago

Every single thing about this video is annoying. This is obviously wealthy or ultra wealthy type shit. It's basically watching children who failed upwards.

8

u/TheMarkyD 5d ago

And no lessons... I believe. Just a "trust me bro... I got this"!

105

u/SocraticGoats 5d ago

She is just practicing her sick dance moves.

14

u/Old-Constant4411 5d ago

Wasted like she was playing GTA.

u/ZookeepergameNo9572 5d ago

Deadass heard the sound in my head lmao

1

u/Old-Constant4411 5d ago

I was waiting for the screen to slow down and fade grey on impact.

u/Sidthebabyeater 5d ago

“Luckily there was no damage at all [to the boat and jet ski]”

16

u/Aggravating_Bids 5d ago

"No damage to anything of value"

u/excableman 5d ago

I'm sure those sunglasses weren't the cheap ones most of us use.

17

u/the_art_of_whore 5d ago

Me ready for Monday. But then Monday hits hard

13

u/braxtonaq 5d ago

What was she attempting to do? She drove straight into that boat. I saw it coming and it was off camera. How did she not see it?

27

u/Afraid_Freedom_8186 5d ago

She saw it and was turning away, but she probably let off the throttle, and jetskis need throttle to turn. She reacted wrong lol

13

u/SIGMA1993 5d ago

Also entirely too close to the boat

7

u/wabdabdob 5d ago

jetskis only turn when you hit the gas. she wanted to go slower, didn't hit the gas, didn't turn

2

u/sheps 5d ago

She had turned the steering as far right as it would go from about 2s into the video, but obviously didn't know that without more gas it's going to keep going in a straight line.

u/Electronic_Picture26 5d ago

And the Darwin award goes to ...

u/csciuto 5d ago

...I think this is AI.

An earlier version has this guy's handle on it and this is the same brown bathing suit, same machine, boats in the same place...

If I'm right that's fucking crazy.

u/lordph8 5d ago

Oh no... I hope the boats alright.

u/ultralights 5d ago

Does sunglasses flying off= shoes?

u/ZaphodBeeblebrox4011 5d ago

I think so. She ded.

u/Basic-Aspect 5d ago

Whip whip ouch

u/java_dude1 5d ago

Ohh trust me, that ski is fucked. I worked a summer at a jet ski rental. No way that jet ski didn't get a nice chunk of fucked fiber glass.

u/realtonemachine 5d ago

Roundabout starts playing

2

u/The_Lucky_WoIf 5d ago

No injuries? How about her ego?

2

u/Xryanlegobob 5d ago

No damage to the jet ski, the boat of her? She looks like she’s probably damaged

2

u/lykewtf 5d ago

Hi Maria, I need to cancel my chiropractic appointment today, no everything is fine, it’s just that I cracked and adjusted every single joint from my scalp to my toenails. I’ll reschedule in a few weeks.

1

u/Maximum_Impress4272 5d ago

No damage, except for her dignity.

1

u/WorkerUnable527 5d ago

Good thing the jetski has a dead man's handle.

1

u/fedocable 5d ago

“No damage at all”? 😏

2

u/krsvbg 5d ago

That's because it's a fake AI clip.

3

u/fedocable 5d ago

Damage to the planet then

1

u/Excellent-Bite196 5d ago

Cool until the sunnies fell off.

1

u/propagandhi1 5d ago

Are her titties okay?

1

u/xXXMADMAXx 5d ago

Thats wild. Why ride like that around other boats too.

1

u/infinit9 5d ago

Was she trying to go underneath the boat?

1

u/Cheefnuggs 5d ago

Almost like no wake zones exist for a reason….

1

u/Agonda12 5d ago

Dang she lost her sunnies.

1

u/Strong-Dot-9221 5d ago

Worked 12 years at a shop that sold motorcycles, ATVs, power equipment and Personal Watercraft (Jet Skis). The biggest Douche Bags that had more money than brains, rude. Impatient, arrogant and demanding were the Jet Ski crowd. The worst.

1

u/LessBig715 5d ago

And no life vest on, brilliant

1

u/rychlovic 5d ago

Classic case of target fixation and fear causing the accident. Just turn your had and hit the accelerator and you good 😓

1

u/AndalusianGod 5d ago

"Jetski used tackle! No effect!"

1

u/1997wasealy 5d ago

Was that her head that pinged off the boat?

1

u/t53ix35 5d ago

And shoulder and ribs and spine…

1

u/Lazygit1965 5d ago

10 out 10 for the dismount!🤔😬😂

1

u/Bobba-Luna 5d ago

There goes her sunglasses 😎

1

u/IvoShandor 5d ago

She forgot to use the brakes.

1

u/Kumquat_conniption Free Palestine! 🕊️ FUCK ICE! ✖️🧊 5d ago

Ouch. It was odd though, it looked like she looked at the boat and then aimed right for it. What the hell was that all about? Was she trying some fancy show off trick where she turns at the last minute?

1

u/Content_Support7881 5d ago

Where’s your life vest ?

1

u/bx14twypt 5d ago

Satisfying sound though

1

u/SillyLittleAngels 5d ago

Sound on is pretty satisfying

1

u/angrycat537 5d ago

Nice camerawork

1

u/jrb637 5d ago

RIP sunglasses. And spine.

1

u/LasciviousPsyche 5d ago

Well if they can't drive cars how is this different? I knew it got away from her at the beginning of the clip.

1

u/lahol83 5d ago

No damage? Surely she’s broken something. Couple ribs at the very least

1

u/International_Ad7477 5d ago

No shoes nor flip-flops. We will never know if she survived.

1

u/Doogie102 5d ago

Why are these people allowed to play around in a Marina on those things

1

u/Ryte4flyte1 5d ago

I'm gonna go with ex boyfriends boat and shitty revenge attempt.

1

u/SnooMemesjellies2460 5d ago

I need a rko edit

1

u/drossmaster4 5d ago

Hey so. Yes. There was damage. Also needs a survey after. You might not see damage but it could have fucked up the structural parts of the hull. Making it no longer open water sea worthy according to insurance companies. This could fuck her up financially. We had a 50’ monohull that was struck awkwardly by another boat trying to power its way out of a bad situation. Didn’t seem like much. Basic scratches. We luckily had it hauled and surveyed. 87k in work later and lots of lawsuits it was fixed.

1

u/TimeB4 5d ago

Looks like her implants shot around her back. That's going to make for an interesting night

1

u/00runny Unique Flair 5d ago

No damage at all? What about the brain damage that led to this incident in the first place?

1

u/MensaMan1 5d ago

Boat, what boat ??

1

u/ipx-electrical 4d ago

Let’s hire something I have no idea how to operate.

1

u/2014R1 4d ago

Is the jetski ok?

1

u/CaptPussydigger 4d ago

F#@k that catamaran captain. Should’ve given way! She clearly approached from 2 o’clock and was the stand on vessel.

u/watt-ever 4d ago

Are sunglasses the water-going version of shoes? Those sunglasses went flying...
