Althought sort of sitting/kneeling inside sib, the guy lost balance probaly due to the other boat's bow hitting on sib's left side, if so, very stupid to pass that close with such a tight turn, on the other hand, seem his throttle is poorly adjusted as not to return to minimum idle position along with recommended kill cord use if an issue like that eventually happens. Luckily still with his head on to survive the story to be awarded by unanimity "empty brain, perfect idiot of the year"

Happy Sibbing

Thats a polite way of putting it (Perfect idiot of the year) totaly wrong move ,he was showing off and not in full control of his vessel or anyone elses safety,and fancy trying to swim up to it, hoping to retrieve AN OUT OF CONTROL SIB ,WITH A BLENDER ON THE BACK ,waiting to cut his head off,world class twat,comes to mind
