Texting while driving I am sure!!!!!
 
That looks like it happened in a driveway or a small little side street. How in the heck does that happen? 2K is right... had to be texting.

This happened moving day. I was loading my boat and truck onto my semi trailer for the haul to the new shop. The boat did not go up the ramps straight and I tried to re position it. The boat trailer wheels are as wide as the trailer that I'm on so I have little wiggle room back there. I was so worried about the boat being on the ramps properly I lost sight of how close the truck was to the edge. Thus the above "Oops".

The end result.

This happened to my Dad's boat. Took him out early in the season. He had to wait till late august to get the boat back. It was in the water 2 times that year...the first year. He was PISSED:smt021

While I don't have a picture, except for the one in my mind, I would like to observe a moment of silence for my friend's 2005 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer. Larry, Daryl and Daryl ignited the boat while shrinkwrapping it and burned it to the gunnels.

The irony here is that he is a volunteer firefighter, and got called in to put out the fire.

As I understand it, the smaller boat was the stand-on boat in this situation, so it would be the larger boat's captain who was at fault. Of course, there's the caveat that everyone is responsible for keeping a good look-out and avoiding other vessels, so small boat's skipper obviously is not blameless, but he should have taken action long before the situation got to the point shown in the video.
 
Why isn't the guy holding the camera yelling at the captain to turn instead of just sitting there filming the impending doom? Clearly, there was plenty of time to see the situation developing.

If ya had time to whip out the camera, then you had time to turn the boat.

I was wondering the same as you have mentioned. I am guessing that judging from the video, this is considered a crossing and not a head-to-head passing?. How much angle is considered a head-to-head approach? Either way one is still to avoid this situation, even if the stand on has to give way.

Either way as you have mentioned the smaller boat and the larger boat should have been attempting an avoidance maneuver.

I agree with JeffM, however, both skippers were guilty of having their Heads up their A!:smt013

As in, "Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl"?

Been watching re-runs?
