Boat crashes into Jet Ski! Who is at fault here?

[@snoopstp4189]

if you have to ask then you're really kinda a dum bazz...

[@WmRob]

The jet skis were operating in a transiting area while the boat was traveling in a direct fashion. The jet skis should not be maneuvering in transiting areas like that. Then the jet skis operators began acting like thugs even though the ski was at fault.

[@nigelmaisey272]

[@BoycottChinaa]

Jet skis always at fault

[@heirloomburn8087]

Jet ski riders , like motorcyclists think they’re somehow guardians of proper motoring All the while outside the law

[@OriginalDon7]

I was there watching the 4th of July boating per routine, front row seats watching this happen. It was (per usual) the jet skiers fault. They were messing around in the north side of the inlet inside the entrance doing tricks and jumping over wakes absolutely ignoring traffic rules. The boat was coming in on the right side of the inlet, as he’s supposed to, had multiple boats close behind him and multiple jet skiers crossing in front of his path and messing around him. The jet skier crossed into his path last second and tried to make a turn to portside but couldn’t get out of the way on time. Also, what you don’t see on the video is that the captain had another jet sky and rocks nearby on his starboard side and couldn’t make a big turn to dodge (although you can see last second he did try to avoid once he noticed the jet sky being a total idiot and actually get in his path last second). But I don’t think he actually got hit, might have just been the boats wake, but maybe just grazed him. What’s fucked up is that the lame jet skiers posse ganged up on the boater and when the police got there it was multiple jet skiers words against the captain’s. Bottom line: it’s the larger vessels right of way, he’s on the right side of the inlet, he can’t stop or reduce speed to quickly cause he has multiple large vessels behind him also at cruising speed, also jet sky is on port side of vessel so he has red light (not that it really matters in this situation, but a nice detail) and the jet skiers where fucking around in the inlet where they shouldn’t. Sad that this guy’s 4th of July had to be ruined by typical jet skiers behavior

As both a boater first, and someone who enjoys a blast on the jet ski it always infuriates me to see jet skis playing in a busy channel.

Jet skis should be banned inside the inlet unless entering or leaving. No playing in or within 500 yards of the inlet. Jet skiers are a menace.

Exactly doing loop de loos in an inlet isn't the smartest idea I've ever seen.

Yes, maybe it should be banned, but all other boats manage it, to go in at normal speed. Also if you see ppl like that doing shit, u can't go with that speed.

[@wcresponder]

Same note larger vessels should have restricted speed in inlet. There's no need to be blasting through a confined waterway.

[@vandersgarage4682]

@@wcresponder There is a certain speed you HAVE to go if you want to make it through that inlet safely. You cant idle through it. It never works well. AND all boats slow down well before the bridge, which is the idle speed border. I understand you're trying to play devils advocate, but try harder.

[@wcresponder]

@@vandersgarage4682 Really.. you have to maintain a certain speed? WOW! Who would have thought it. That speed didn't need to be three quarter full. No one said idle through, try again. It's the rules to slow down at or before the bridge. It's also the law for the captain/operator to operate their craft in a safe manner. You need to try harder.

[@michaelhansen6977]

Boat had the right of way, the skies were clearly playing unsafely in a high traffic area.

Go do tricks somewhere else not in a heavy traffic area . Boat owner has the right of way and was responsible enough to stop after the incident.

If it’s a heavy traffic area then why travel so fast. Skippers of both vessels gave moronic displays of seamanship.

[@BoltRM]

The boat was definitely traveling too fast into the inlet.

I ride through Haulover constantly. A netski trying to jump a wave almost landed in the bow of my boat a year ago. Jetskis should NOT be allowed to hang around the inlet! They should go in and out ONLY! THEY ARE RECKLESS. Boaters should always be conscious while going in and out of this inlet.

[@GeorgeGordonNCA]

The Jetski driver and the captain seemed to have a a rather normal conversation, but the jetski driver's friend was yelling and escalating the whole situation, I think. In general, I think the Jetskis were at fault here. You can see that they are moving out of the way, which means they 1. Saw the big boat approaching, 2. they were in the middle of the Inlet, doing idk what, 3. the Jetski that got hit basically turned into the big boat. You can clearly see that he jetski oversteers and then it hits.

[@cycadence2577]

Perhaps a future episode on Judge Judy. It would be entertaining to see the jet ski operator explain himself.

[@pjp_renaissance]

I love how the jetskier was fine but hammed up the injuries once the police arrived. I mean, I suspected he was injured, a head injury being a dangerous possibility, but man, his demeanour changed from a tough guy to a sick kid with his momma when he was being inspected for injuries.

[@my_name_is_chef4856]

I’m just saying that logically any bigger object takes more time to maneuver and stop than a smaller craft. Same applies on most roads.

You just have to apply some common sense

[@businessraptor127]

Hate to break it to you but sense is no longer common. Entitlement is.

[@deaninchina01]

The boating rules do indeed take such common sense into account, it’s up to you as the captain to maintain a safe speed so you can react to situations. It might not be someone being stupid which puts them in your path. And even if it is someone being stupid you need to maintain a safe speed. That is what a skilled skipper does.

[@deaninchina01]

@@businessraptor127both sides of entitlement are on display here. It’s hard to tell if the skis were playing from the video, if they were then it’s a dangerous place to do that. The boat driving at high speed in narrow and congested water is also displaying a gigantic sense of entitlement, as well as breaking basic rules of seamanship.

[@ronvaughan8041]

Full moon last night so people are still nuts in addition to it being a holiday. Not to mention, the less maneuverable boat has the right of way so that pretty much counts the jet skis out right off the bat. They practically drove right into the boat. Boat should have taken some preventative action, but I'd say the jet skis were riding unpredictably and failed to yield.

[@kathyc7284]

I didn't even see the jetski that got hit at first because I was busy watching the other one who turned in front of the boat. I think, so was the captain. I call that a distraction. The guy who got hit seemed fine when he was standing on his ski talking to the captain but couldn't stand up when he was on the police boat.

[@WavyBoats]

That's a good point. I though so as well.

[@jamesclark4]

So he was operating at high speed in a busy area distracted sounds safe

[@catstroke]

Agreed, I think the boat had the right of way. Nonetheless, it's not a license to hit him if it was avoidable. I didn't see the jetski on the port side either... I think the cap honestly didn't see him because of the other ski cutting across. Unfortunately, considering the other vids in the last couple of days of jetskis looking for a place to die. Ripping across boats bows purposely at close contact distance, this incident does not come as a surprise. Those guys should know that if they're gonna be stoopid, they better be tough. They've demonstrated a complete lack of disregard for life, especially their own. I'm wondering if those guys earned themselves a summons?. At least the guy that got crashed here seemed to be having a reasonable discussion with the boat's skipper (unlike his buddy who did nothing but stir the poop pot). Glad everyone was ok. Standing up straight on the ski, hands free...seems like he was quite all right. Hopefully everyone learned something from this pucker factor moment 🥶

As a fellow boat owner (kayak but who’s counting) I can say with certainty that the boat had the right of way, he was not changing direction and had the right of way.

[@allanstraughan3966]

There is no such thing as right of way. The boat is obligated to avoid a collision, to manage his speed, and to match speed to the situation (among other things). The ski is obliged to do all of those things as well as maintaining speed and proper direction. Both skippers are to avoid collision and to use all means to monitor the water and traffic.

[@billbell2311]

@@FireflyAereids I taught boating safety for almost 20 years. The term "right of way" (in this context) isn't found in the Nav Rules. One vessel is the stand-on vessel and the other is the give-way vessel. Under the Nav Rules, both captains are responsible for taking whatever action is necessary (in keeping with good seamanship) to avoid a collision. One captain may be more at fault; however, they're both responsible.

[@FireflyAereids]

@@billbell2311 yeap, I get you. And that's what I mean. Both have responsibility but neither actually did. At the end of the day, despite all the specific rules in the colreg, the distilled principle is always "lookout, keep right, big eats small, power avoids unpowered/restricted, slow down, turn away/behind to avoid a collision" The ski was acting like an idiot. The boat was standon and keeping stbd. But in a high traffic situation, boat wasnt slowing down either. Hence, both are buffoons.

As a cop, I go with wreckless boating on the jetski, and disorderly conduct on the foul mouth jetskier not involved and let them pick their shit up at the tow yard at their expense!

I'm in Minnesota and jest skis are required to keep 150 away from other watercraft if they are wake jumping. In congested and high traffic areas you cannot jump a wake or weave around other boats like these guys did.

The way most of these PWC people handle their equipment I wonder why it has happened before, YOU CAN’T be cutting in front of boats and expect them to see you all the time!

The Less Maneuverable craft has the right of way. Bigger, heavier, less quickly-reactive boat has the right of way.

Always yield to the larger craft. Especially in a transitioning zone.
