Video here

I stopped caring about these Darwin rejects in my 20s. If you are that stupid to not comprehend both the physical forces involved, and the basic rules of the road on the water, I have utterly no mercy for you. Die, in ignorance then. But don't cry about it to the camera

Hmmmm. At first glance, I doubted that they would be able to see any freeboard near the bow from a passenger area.

But a close look at the Magic shows a very different design from most Carnival boats. The Magic has open passenger decks forward, right down to the crew area at the bow.

A nice design touch, for folks who like to see out the front of the bus. Hehe

Yeh
It's a cruiser; no way you'd try that on an Atlantic Liner though :twisted:
Screaming you're king of the world, right before a 40-foot swell crests and you go for a swim in 4 -degree-C water....

That was about as close as you want to come to getting run over by a cruise ship. He just drops that chick face first on the deck and dives for the steering wheel lol.
Jet skis are like liter bikes.......too easy for a noob to get hold of one and end up way out of their league.

To the untrained(me), What is a liter bike?(1000cc?) Back on topic. Dumfuks deserve what happens to them.

You had to give that Sheriff or Deputy credit; dump her like a sack of shit, and save your own ass. PRIORITY ONE
And no professional seaman , isn't nodding in a job well done, man

Wholeheartedly agree there. The jetskiiers should be billed for the rescue

The problem is resorts/cruise lines that just hand the keys to people with no experience. Can almost guarantee you they're rentals and the people on them know they're on the ocean because it's waving at them.

Yup. 1000cc or more. Same concept. Power to weight ratio of a Ferrari but with a 10k pricetag.

Gotcha. Back to on topic...Not to complain, but shouldnt resorts also be held accountable? If they loaned them out to untrained 1d10ts(or asshats), shouldnt they be deemed responsible by damaging the cruise liner or having people risk their lives of the ignorant lessees?
