That is unreal! It's a wonder he was not killed or injured. I guess natural selection does'nt always work.

Belongs in stupid human tricks--one being driving through a bridge at top speed. All bridges are "no wake" at least around here.

But in the days before wake boards it was slalom skis and guys often treid to cut close to fixed objects. Not smart, but that's how young guys are (were).

Well, now some politician will come up with a new law to protect people like this from hurting themselves. Heaven forbid if this world had a few less Darwin winners.

Gotta love it! Everyone has a beer in hand. None of them look 21...

Wonder how many the skier had before he thought he could go through the bridge. You know how those huge concrete pillars can sneak up on ya!

First off, hope no body got hurt

second, those guys are tools. They can't even handle a boat. They turn the boat but can't even make it to the hurt guy.

People need to get a clue

Couldn't agree more POPEYE. Somebody needs to take basic seamanship. I lost track of how many times they said " Dude ! "

The first time.
I have a feeling that these guys (or "Dudes") will probably give Darwin another chance....:)

whats really sad is besides the rednecks and beers everywhere is if you look really closely you'll see a 6 or 7 year old girl in the bow.

"Sorry skipper, I said 12 meters, I meant 12 feet...."

You're right.... I wasn't paying enough attention.
The title said "boat hits bridge"...should have been the other way around...:eek:

Is it at all like air traffic control, and they may have been 3rd or 4th boat in line and were not actually "cleared" for passage under bridge?
