Boat Crashes into St Lucie Inlet rocks after driver and passengers thrown off!

3 People were thrown off their boat south of the stuart inlet. The "run-a-way" boat was head straight for our boat. Another boat picked up the boat owners and we rode along side, radioed coast guard, and made sure no one was hurt. This is the video.

Honestly, you all could have saved that guys boat. Its been done many times, you dont need anyone to jump over. Simple, boat brush, gaff, stick, to knock back the throttle. You also could have tried to foul the prop, Lines and life preservers, Im sure your donzi could have out run the little ol contender.

But, if the situation was to dangerous, you made the right decision.  I just thinking the owner would be happier not trying to fight the insurance versus getting to see a youtube video.

Exactly What a bunch of Pussys and clowns. Me and my boy (we race Superbikes) would have pulled along side that POS and jumped right on. That was a WEAK display.

why not jump on and stop it?

I was actually in the last boat to turn away at 1:25...It was pretty cool to see the boat jump the rocks, just not when it was aimed right at you.

whay happens really doesnt matter.. what the heck you are doing does not matter.. just shit

[StoneyMcGiverFilms]

wise the captain didnt put his boat or his crew in danger..

fouling the prop of the contender with a dock line or anchor rope wouldve stopped it though

Well, when I was a little girl. I was run over at Age 12 by a 45 HP motor boat - - not fun - - and came a hair from being paralyzed. You guys freaked me out when you swam over to that thing. I might have climbed the rocks to the side and jumped in that way - - or went on the rocks and reached in to the key to shut it off. Unfortunately I didn't know better back in 1974. Currently writing a book about my experience in hopes of helping others do better than we did that day.

holy crap what idiots

@jeremyglass86 Actually you did put two people in danger . The two jumping in the water and swimming to the boat and trying to climb on it from the front . The motor was still running . If that boat came loose from the rocks because the two guys weight on the front end , it would have ran them over in the water . Unbelievable that they did that .

That was nice of them to follow the boat. I am sure the owner was pleased to get his boat back.
