Boat Crash

So we are a few months out from the warmer boating season and with that comes inexperienced boaters doing dumb things as shown in this video. The man that drove this boat and caused this crash, that could have taken the lives of 3 people said it was not his fault because he could not see over the bow. So dude because you can not see over the bow means you can just run over people. If you can not see over the bow you place a person near the bow who can act as a lookout, one of the basics of safe boating, or slow down so you can see in front of you. I teach safe boating classes for the state of Idaho and one thing we teach is to always wear your life jacket and keep a look out, etc. If any of you have not taken a safe boating course you can do so online for a fee or take a class from me, from the US Coast Guard (which I am a member of auxilary), or from your are sheriff Department, State Parks and Rec., etc. for free most of the time. https://youtu.be/agWmkZYu31Q
