Downside Up<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This boat must have been going pretty fast to flip itself up like that. And they captured this moment at the perfect time. Luckily, they take extra precautions when it comes to boat racing, so we\u2019re sure everyone was fine.<\/p>\n

Slow Down!<\/h3>\n

This guy is lucky that this pole didn\u2019t completely mangle him. He looks a little dazed, but OK. Maybe he needs another tutorial on driving a boat? We think this is one boat that won\u2019t be back out on the water for a while\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Bottoms Up<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Banana boats and summertime go together almost as well as banana boats and people failing to stay on them. Great job by the camera person to capture this shot mid backflip. Yippee-ki-yay!<\/p>\n

Going Against the Tide<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This boater got completely overtaken by the massive waves. We are pretty sure that in choppy conditions like this, your boat should be facing the waves straight on so this doesn\u2019t happen. Hopefully they avoided those rocks out there!<\/p>\n

Air Flip<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If a boat weighs very little and is going very fast, it makes sense that it might do an air flip like this. We thought for a moment they might stick the landing, but no, no they did not\u2026<\/p>\n

Stuck in the Middle<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for my next trick, I will completely destroy my own groin.\u201d This guy really should have kept line tied to the dock while he was trying to load the beer cooler into the boat. Drinking and boating don\u2019t mix, people. Unless you\u2019re going for a boating fail that is!<\/p>\n

Low Bridge!<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To be fair, fishing is incredibly relaxing and it\u2019s understandable to get lost in one\u2019s thoughts while out on the water. He feel that had to leave a mark though\u2026<\/p>\n

How Did It Get up There?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, we can forgive the captain of a boat if he gets stuck in some shallow water at times, but c\u2019mon man! These giant rocks are clearly visible. How does a boat end up like this!?<\/p>\n

Structural Damage<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How many officers does it take to investigate the damage done by one boat to another? Four, according to this picture. We\u2019re thinking\u00a0someone<\/em>\u00a0was going a bit too fast for their britches out on the water that day.<\/p>\n

Oh My God!<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OK, we\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0hope no one was actually hurt in this one. It\u2019s bad enough that they flipped, but they got some serious air on this crash. And seeing pieces fly off the boat is never a good sign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
