On Friday, August 31st, boaters were out on the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri for a little Labor Day weekend fun, when they hit a wave created by another passing boat.

As you can see, they hit that wave at precisely the wrong angle, cause their boat (and its occupants) to get tossed around and fly all over the boat's cabin.

Despite the violence of this crash, everyone inside the boat was relatively unharmed. Five of the passengers were taken to a local hospital and treated for minor to moderate injuries.
Video clip from inside the boat:

Several threads on this already and the news report was wrong, there were serious injuries.

I'd blame the driver, not the wave. Looks like he was going way to fast.

Going to close this thread since it's already posted in Boat Topics and Stupid Human Tricks.
