Wow, that really was like glass - beautiful.

I'm amazed at just how quick those jetskis are, that yellow one went off like a rocket.

They start to hurt at 40 knots when it gets even a little bit rougher than that

Pretty sure that was one of those supercharged Seadoos. And yes they don't half go...

'kin 'ell.

Must be huge fun to ride. I couldn't believe the acceleration of the yellow beastie in your video.

Having been injured by water impact at much slower speeds, I reckon you'd simply disintegrate at 75mph.

Kill cord fairly important.

toooo fast. Last year three blasted me and covered me in water, then blasted off at silly speed. One fell off and was so winded and concussed i had to hold him on the boat, he was incapacitated. Frightening. Not suprised you bottled it Tony

Ive come off donuts at probably 30-45 mph and that hurts, sometimes badly. Over 60 and there can't be much chance of being ok
