Some of those bad-assed boats are made to go that fast. Is is
criminally negligent to operate them that fast? If you are breaking
a posted speed limit and somebody dies in the process of flying
out of your boat then there is definitely negligence involved and it
can be negligent homicide. Some idiot who is not holding on or
wearing a seatbelt or life vest is at fault himself under the conditions
stated. I don't see what the operator can be charged with and have
it stick when it comes to a jury.


You are either very, very, ignorant, stupid beyond belief, or you are
hallucinating, if you think what you just posted sounds sane.


Sounds sane to me.

If you get into a high speed boat with a nutter, and you don't have a life
jacket on, then you run the risk of death.

If the deceased was a fare paying passenger, then I could see that the law
should *possibly* be involved. Otherwise, this is no more than further
proof that Darwin was right.
