The least surprising revelation of this is that, women are as equally dangerous on the water as they are on the road.

Don't jetski in front of cruise ships... They don't exactly stop on a dime.

Buddy and I were riding on the MS river last year and his boat died directly in the middle of the river with barges coming from each direction. Threw on the life jackets and started waving our hands. They were about half a mile from us in each direction and then somehow the motor fired up and we hauled arse back to shore. It was sketchy

That was a pathetic attempt on the girls' part for saving their own lives. I can only assume they were hit in the head in the jet ski crash

The chick with the black shirt looked like a dead fish hitting the deck.

Wasn't raised here in LA. I have not seen many (if any) personal watercraft on the MS River. Always assumed it was closed to personal craft

I saw this earlier on another site. Please change this horribly misleading title.

The jet skiers went out of their right of way (the cruise vessel has the right of way btw) and sheriff patrol ships frantically raced over to pick up the two jet skiers as they radioed to the cruise ship to steer starboard.

The jet skiers were in the wrong and media as always tries to get clicks as are you.

you try deadlifting 140lbs while leaning over a 55gallon barrel and you'll quickly realize how insanely difficult it was for him.

The second one got slung onto the boat face first and head planted into that big orange fender, so that probably sucked. Those things are pretty hard.

We ride it often just south of BR. Usually just running catfish jug lines and what not when the river is high.

It looks like they flipped the jet-ski and weren't able to get it back over and were just treading water in front of a huge cruise ship.
