So, you got a FAST Bass Boat?

Post by Dubble Trubble »

May wanna read this:

Not for the weak stomach!!

Read the story first.

This is an actual emergency room photo of a fisherman who lost control of his high-speed bass boat in West Virginia. Wardens believe that he was traveling at a speed of approximately 75 mph at the time of the accident. He was unable to negotiate a curve in the narrow waterway. Unfortunately for him, upon striking the shoreline and being ejected from the boat, he landed back end first on an old fence post. You can probably picture what happened next, but the attached picture really says it all. The good news is that after about 6 months, this man made a full recovery after suffering a shattered hip, broken leg, several broken ribs, internal injuries and soft tissue damage. Doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post lodged Itself so tightly that there was little or no blood loss. Now that's got to hurt!!! DON'T DRIVE THAT FISHING BOAT TOO FAST!!!!!

EDIT: PICTURE REMOVED. PLEASE DO NOT POST GRAPHIC PICTURES LIKE THIS AGAIN.

Did not see the picture but man, there is no reason anyone needs to go 75mph on the water, thats plain stupid. On small wave from another boat, a shallow floating log, etc. and thats all she wrote.

It was a pretty heavy duty pic. Amazing that the guy lived.
