Jet ski related death

[IceRocket1286]

I know what happened. the media is phuckin stupid and so is the dumbass who thought he could handle 'the perfect storm" and so are the douche bags who let him even rent a machine and go out in that crap.

moral of the story? no common sense.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Well,,, that pretty much sums it up! lol

Sad but true.

Be respectful please. Never done anything stupid yourself? I have. His consequences just ended up being final.

I've been in some tough situations myself. swimming gets you nowhere, you're exhausted, your wheezing and getting crushed by waves, ski rode a big wave in to shore. I had to quit swimming and try to get another riders attention. finally someone pulled me into shore.

sounds like that dudes riding buddy wasn't much of a riding buddy to me.

 

[IceRocket1286]

Jett, I have done plenty of stupid stuff, but nothing THAT stupid. that just crosses the line, which is my point. It was kind of a harsh way to say it, Ill watch it next time.

experienced ride Bull ****

It mentioned at least twice in that article that this guy was "an experienced rider". SO how does this make it anyone's fault but his own?

:bs2:

experienced ride Bull ****.


Melendez rented the power ski from Short Money Jet Ski Rentals at 4940 S. Peninsula Drive in Ponce Inlet. Melendez, who grew up in Puerto Rico, was an experienced rider, riding power skis in Panama City when on vacation with his family. The cause of death has yet to be determined
experienced rider is someone that as a PWC not someone that rent time to time.
I'm experienced rider I have several PWC so that must make me a veteran rider since I have been riding in the early 80'.

when you are that inxperienced it's like riding alone...

 

[Orv9978]

Hey yamaslut have you heard if the rental place is getting shut down at the inlet? Just curious to see how long that place will last after something like this happening.

Doubtful they will. That's what insurance is for.

I used to have a 550 that I rode last year a few times on the beach when you were there. I think it was 2 weekends ago I had my superjet out at the beach and you were there also. Didn't stay out too long it broke on me. My name is Jason I met you last year. My buddy that rides with me was the one that broke his ankle out there last year and drives the H2.

ooohhh, that was ugly! the sight of that ankle is why i wont put footholds on.

 

[Orv9978]

That was a pretty disgusting break, we pretty much got rid of the footholds on his ski over the winter months this year. I don't think I will ever get them after seeing that kinda ankle injury.
