It never ceases to amaze me how much risk these yahoos take. I lost count of all the times I was fishing and they tried to jump our wake not more than 15' behind us, or to see how close they would try to come to objects like docks and such. :kooky:

Police say a personal watercraft has slammed into a Long Island dock, seriously hurting a boy and knocking a man unconscious.

Nassau County police say the two lost control of the device while riding it near Causeway Road in Lawrence around 5:15 p.m. Saturday.

Officers found the man in the water, unconscious and not breathing. They were able to revive him before he was taken to a hospital.

The boy was found on the watercraft. He has been flown to a hospital in serious condition.

Safety tests will be conducted on the 11-year-old watercraft

I have seen pwc owners do the craziest stunts. I'm all for living life to the fullest, but you have to draw the line when you put others in danger. Thoughts and prayers to all who were involved.

Do they really think the watercraft itself is to blame for this accident?
