    Kill Switch!!!

    This video is exactly why you should NEVER operate your boat or watercraft without the use of a kill switch and a lanyard attached to your life preserver!!

    That guy was lucky! A bit embarrased and probably a chewed prop.

    wearing no life jacket, with no kill switch. Guy is an irresponsible moron. Moron because he is risking his life with no kill switch and no life jacket, irresponsible because he is risking others by letting his boat run free with no driver. Some people just don't belong in a boat. He is one of 'em.

    If you full size the video and look closely at the 15 second mark you see the idiot go onto the front deck while the boat is on plane. So not only failing to use the kill switch, he abandoned the helm.
