I had a homemade seven foot hydroplane with a souped up 10 horse merc hurricane in it. Had a racing prop that was the outragious amount of 27 dollars. Ya had to kneel in it to drive it. To go or stop ya had to lay way out on the front or the transom would be under water. Steering wheel near buried in my chest. I wasn't paying attention and cut through a big wave wide open. I thought I'd been hit in the face with a bucket a water still in the bucket. I cannot imagine those guys still had their heads attached at that speed.
#10 I had a buddy racing a 50' offshore catamaran a number of years ago and "tripped" the boat the same way. He spent three days in the hospital after trying to ingest half the Atlantic. He was lucky....
#10 in the jargon is known as a "stuff". too many drivers have been killed in these type of crashes. "barrel rolls and blow-overs" are more spectacular but fortunately not as fatal.
Idiot cops in #1 can't even ticket the rider and\or confiscate the bike when it is right next to the police car. Of course they were probably outnumbered 100-1 and not going to do a dang thing. The only way they will stop these mass rides, drivers taking over intersections to burn cookies and other events is with an overwhelming force and blocking the exit streets. No desire obviously.
#10- from boat to submarine in less than a second

And for a millisecond in between it was airborne.
Delete#10 is the reason I'm in the shape I'm in , but from submarineing in a drag boat. And yes, it's not the speed it's the sudden stop that gets you.
ReplyDelete#10 could be pepsi, I hope not.
ReplyDelete#9 is wearing “slides”, aptly-named footwear.
ReplyDeleteThat cigarette accident in #10 was not survivable.
ReplyDeleteNope, probably broke their necks before they had a chance to drown.
DeleteNeither of them were seriously injured. You can find the full video on YouTube.
DeleteSudden deceleration more associated w aortic disruption.

ReplyDeleteBuilt one similar to yours in shop class in 1964 from a set of plans purchased, I think, from Mechanics Illustrated.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, a chocolate dipped ice-cream from DQ was one of my favorite treats. Now I want one again.

Clumsy shithead in #1. Yellow scooter guy calmly picked the right line.
ReplyDeleteFat rookie in #6 wearing the same shoes as #9 ?

Coast Guard has a boat that can be submerged, so no excuses about the weather.
