Goodness me! Now, if they had a video of that, it would most certainly be worth watching, Ricky. Thanks for telling me about this incident, anyway, as it demonstrates that what we saw in this video isn't just a one-off. I told you so, actually.

Wow, I have not seen that in a long time, my family and I were at that show one week prior, sitting in the front row, just not near the crash site.
We found out that the boat was controled by an additional person under the bow, the stunt consisted of a "driver" falling out of the boat, and the unseen driver stears the boat out, back into the lake. This instane, so I read, the controls hidden malfunctioned, and caused this crash.

On August 17, 1996, 22 people were injured during a Baywatch-themed water ski stunt show at the now closed SeaWorld of Ohio. Andrew R. Schleis, who was driving a boat in the show, lost control after the boat allegedly experienced mechanical failure. The boat crashed five rows deep into the show's stadium resulting in 17 being taken to area hospitals and 5 treated on the scene. Of the 17, at least 4 were listed in critical condition. Of those injured, none has died as a result of the accident. During the accident investigation, the owner of the boat, World Entertainment Services Inc. of Winter Park, Fla., was charged with three marine regulation violations unrelated to the accident.
