Yep. The G has to protect us from ourselves.
Depends where at on Nickajack cause below Chickamauga Dam is Nickajack and there's a ramp right there. If they were pulling water I can see a struggle
Id say getting thrown out of a boat when hitting a wake is pretty indicative of excessive speed. Wouldnt you?
Its coming, no doubt. I have to do better myself. I bought new co2 vests but need to always keep them on.
Im with you, I would think so.
What is "excessive" speed? Was he holding on, paying attention, etc.? You guys hate fast boats so you do mental gymnastics to make speed the culprit when we have no idea. When you're a hammer everything looks like a nail. When you're a hammer that hates fast boats every accident is a nail named speed.
. Wear a vest!What the heck are u talking about- hammer and nail lol. Id say excessive speed quantifies as if you hit a wake, you fly out of a boat to your death. I have no nothing against fast boats. I dislike people putting others at risk because their mind isnt as quick as their boat.
apparently you don't have a lot of boating experience. At 35mph you can hit a big wake at the wrong angle and have big problems. This guy lost his life because he wasn't wearing his life vest while using the gas engine. Period.
Those are the worst in my opinion. Tugs pushing barges on the MS River put out rollers that can be manipulated. Those sharp wakes coming off yachts are no joke.
I've fished KY Lake- TN River for years, it can turn really
Not necessarily. When i had my z20 i had wake boats swamp my boat while i was just sitting there. Literally would have to sit down when you saw it coming. These wake boats nowadays are twice the size as they used to be , rolling out wake 5 times what the old school ski boats were capable of.
