re: Bayou Black Boating Accident

To be honest, it's not even the speed... it's being in a boat that can kill you. I'm a blow boat guy and there's people killed sailing every other week in this country. People who think going slow is gonna save them have forgotten the fact that they don't breath water.

Just like going fast isn't necessarily going to kill you. People really need to just remember that if you're in a boat, you are seconds away from dying pretty much the whole time you're out no matter what you're doing. So just be more careful. My father in law had a Bullet and I've been in it up at those kinds of speeds and yes it's pretty damn terrifying but if you're safe, well practiced, and know what you're doing, it's not a death sentence.

Right up till something goes wrong.

Just be more careful than normal on the water. Whatever speed.
