All I keep saying to myself is 9.8 meters/second^2 direct down. Ouch.

Yeah...that's a lot of mass falling and it's at least 30 feet from their apex to the trough if that really is a 35 foot boat. Damn...that had to be a brutal impact.
 
I copied and pasted from OSO. It works for me but I'm also logged into OSO on this PC. It is the side of the boat with a large crack in it.
 
If I remember correctly, the operator of the vessel exceeded the maximum structural speed of the hull a moment after cresting the swell. I also believe that all occupants of the vessel experienced weightlessness for a few anxious moments before deceleration sickness enveloped the first third of the hull.
 
Ka BOOM! That 's been around for a while. Still hurts to see.
Donzi destroyed. Still interesting in the off season.
Like the full-chested mother and daughter tossed around by the idiot in some high-speed shootout that he was underprepared for in his quarter million dollar rocket.
LOVE that stuff!:rof:
 
Yeah, it's not often you see a boat exceed max rate of climb only to be followed by exceeding max rate of descent and then follow it up with a severe overstress. In the aviation biz, we call that "varsity".
 
That be the Donzi i was thinking! If i remember right i read a story on it awhile back and there were several broken bones in the after math to go with the totaled boat... And that Fountain that Keith posted also never gets old! But a reminder that s**t can happen fast!
 
Yar, That be the one. Rich boy. Bikini'd mom and daughter. cameraman.
Fast boat. Not enough experience. Poor Judgement.
Jiggle dream. Dental nightmare.
