Jackass.
As a private pilot for the past 27 years, I have always believed -- and was taught -- "safety first." We have a saying in aviation, "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots." Playing it safe, not taking unnecessary risks to oneself and others is part of the flying tradition.
It is discouraging to know that some boaters have just the opposite attitude, and act like irresponsible teenagers and have to test every limit just to be rebellious. I hope that no one gets hurt, including the jackasses that can't or won't grow up.
