One thing its not 3-4 stories tall, its about 1.5 stories tall. But the water they landed in was prob. about 1-2 feet deep so I'm sure it didn't feel good. And even though they where on a rental ski its obvious this is an area you shouldn't go, this was just a case of attempted natural selection.
Last year during the drought I rode atv's out there almost every day, its kind of crazy because the spillway well over 100 yards away from the water last year so to see water going over it now is amazing.

Wow, they sure launched that ....I guess they had no chance of landing that one ? I guess the ski hit bottom.

Thanks for the link!

Yea it hit bottom but it is possible to land it, stand up more and absorb the impact with your legs and be on the throttle when you hit and try to keep the momentum and energy going foreward instead of allowing it to come back through the ski. But anyways its good to hear your alive and well, so I take it you picked up a 86 base and was the reason your t2 wasn't creating power because the motor was dying?
