Wow, Sunsation boats can fly then land hard

Looks like those little life jackets dont stay on too well. On another note, just because the helicopter has the camera on you, you dont need to try and overdrive your sh*t.

Is that the windshield that broke off and was flying through the air after the water came over the bow?
Gnarly.

I think it was those little life jacket scarfs people wear.
EDIT: Watching it closer, 1/2 of the windshield was gone.

Four injured in Boat Week wreck

DESTIN — At least four boaters were injured Friday when their cigarette vessel crashed during the Emerald Coast Foundation’s Boat Week celebration.
The boat was “running approximately 70 mph” near East Pass when it “hit a wake, went airborne and hit on the port side” just after noon, said Lt. Mark Hollinhead with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
“That speed is certainly related to the accident,” he said.
One passenger, Lyvonnica Green of Freeport, was flown to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola with an apparent cracked pelvis, Hollinhead said.
At about 6:30 p.m., he said hospital officials were “shipping her to Birmingham” because she had internal bleeding.
However, Green was still listed in critical condition at Sacred Heart at about 8 p.m.
The boat’s owner, Jon Fiegel of Niceville, and two others were taken to Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast in Santa Rosa Beach and treated for less serious injuries.
An official at that hospital said the patients probably stayed briefly in the emergency room before they were released.
Destin firefighters using a boat rescued the boaters from the water, put them back in their vessel and escorted it to Coast Guard Station Destin.
Okaloosa Island Fire Department Capt. Michael Howard said one of the boaters was “in and out of consciousness” when firefighters responded at 12:37 p.m.
A helicopter above the scene captured the crash on video, so investigators “didn’t have to reconstruct this one,” Hollinhead said.
That video was not available late Friday.
It does not appear that alcohol was a factor in the wreck, said FWC spokesman Stan Kirkland.
All of the boaters were wearing life vests because Boat Week rules require it, Hollinhead said.
“They really push safety, and it helps. This is a good example of that.”
