That picture is very odd. If it were posted on social media instead of the reputable LDS I'd say it was Photoshopped.
1. If they were going fast enough to propel the boat high onto the rocks there certainly would have been more serious hull damage. When we see pictures of fiberglass boats that hit something the fiberglass at the impact point is mostly shredded. In the picture there is no real visible hull damage.
2. If they were going slow there couldn't have been enough momentum to propel the boat so high onto the rocks.
3. Since there were no serious injuries they couldn't have been going too fast. How could the boat get up there without serious damage?
Can this be explained?
