I'm not sure if cleetus will ever see this but a couple of river recommendations from a Florida boater. Clean your windows with plexus and then ceramic coat with a kit from Amazon. Keep that water off your windshield. Install a metal D ring in the back and front of the cockpit. Paracord all items to brass clips and clip them on to the D ring. Lastly you can mount aftermarket utv waterproof wipers to the windows might help. Hope to see yall out on the water, I'm running the quintrex outboard race boat.

I personally don't know anyone that's been killed in a race car, but knew several that have been killed in jet boats. If you hit the water at speed you can't breath for a while, if you get knocked out when you hit the water you need the jacket to keep your head up. These guys are looneys. Our club wouldn't let anyone fire up if they didn't have a jacket.

The preview picture of the vijeo was epic. You guys must be a little sore from the ride, but not from the rough ride, but from laughing constantly. Myself, I'm still grinning from ear to ear. Cleetus you are the man. What a great, great day on the water. Hell ya brother.

Doing stuff like this and not having a vest on isn't the best idea.

Thats it for you even if they turn around and try and get you they might not be able to find you quick enough. Lucky he didn't hit a tree. Glad everyone is alright tho. Stuff happend for sure and it was no one fault but just rather be safe than srry. Cleet you take safety very seriously at the FF so no different out on the water but keep having fun. Hell ya brother! Do it for Dale!

[@detroitbob58]

I was just going to take Cleet to the woodshed, but you said it all. At the very least, all of you should be wearing beltline floaters to help the body float a little in case someone does get hit in the head. Also, this is not the first time you have had three people, they really need two handles installed on the back deck. Use 12" SS grab bars that are put in tubs and showers. Three mounting holes on each end, strong enough to catch an adult falling.

I feel like you should have a bar built that is removable, like a hoop, so you can give a 3rd person something to hold onto, maybe pad it with noodles and zip ties?

2 best youtube channels. I love these collabs

[@jkoll42]

Love ya Cleet but I'm pulling out the safety hammer on this one. Water does two things to people. Keeps them alive through hydration and kills them through drowning and steam burns. You've already come close on the steam and now had the potential of drowning. If he was knocked out and sank in that murk before you got to him (especially in that swollen river) he would be dead. You would not have found him and if you were very lucky a dive team would have eventually found his body. PFD on all.

[@zeil1time145]

If his thongs werent floating on top of the water dougy deffz wouldnt of been floating on top of the water

[@brentheilman8910]

You should wear life jackets one saved my buddies life he got knocked off his jet ski and knocked unconscious and it kept him floating till we turned back to him. Coulda been alot worse. 👍

[@FappinSteve]

Kinda interesting they put all the safety in the cars, not shit for the boat

[@michaelwynne4346]

That's because they wouldn't be able to race with out it, Tech

[@ryancrazy1]

@@michaelwynne4346 yeah, but cleet has promised to wear helmets when driving early anything in the freedom factory. and probably enforces that fairly strictly. I've been kinda worried about these boats but I want to trust Cleet's judgment. I think he should take a similar safety approach with these boats.

[@jacobmay7594]

"You can't be in a car on this track without a helmet!!!!" and "Sure you can sit on back of my jet boat without a seat or a life jacket as we do 30mph down a river ramming into trees and skipping land in the swamp, no problem, just hang on!" Don't really make a lot of sense.

[@FappinSteve]

@@jacobmay7594 couldn’t agree more. Safety doesn’t just mean a seatbelt. A little common sense should be involved.

[@fuuuckthis8817]

Second read, realized it was a joke, I'm drunk😂

[@jays.7923]

@@fuuuckthis8817 not a joke, he means if you wear a bright colored life jacket it both saves your life if you get knocked out when you hit the hit water as well as being a bright marker so other boaters can see you easily and avoid hitting you. You can be the best swimmer in the world but that doesn't matter if you're out cold. Hitting water at 60MPH (maybe more? I forget) is equivalent to hitting concrete. Another note would be under currents, even the best swimmers can't always escape that under current

[@fuuuckthis8817]

@@jays.7923 who knows it's unknowable lmao, ik I've rode a tube into the air and have hit that water hard. Life jackets save lives. Not arguing that, I thought he was tryna give ole cleetus a branding idea.

Doug's face after Cleetus did the first 180* rip was like.....I shouldn't be sitting here 🤣

[@bignick45]

I'm sorry but I have to go full Dad on you guys this time. Life vests are not just for non-swimmers, they will keep you a float if you get knocked unconscious too. Seconds count if you're unconscious in the water, especially with a black t-shirt on in dark waters Doug. Did you ever wonder why life vests are always those stupid bright colors. Love your channel and please be careful. Random Dad

[@alexl8252]

[@mattbradshaw6456]

100%, and helmets aren't a bad idea, Doug was launched into the water head first, if he'd hit a log he would have been in bad shape

[@moonriseproductions]

You're wasting your time telling Cleet to be safe, just imagine how many are dead because of his Freedom Factory being open in a pandemic. You really think he'll ever put on a floaty? Maybe after he kills one of his friends or his girl, but not before.

Yeah its not because you can't swim, its because if you get knocked out, at least you will float to the top.
