One of my favorite boats of all time blew over at lake ming last weekend.
Diverter arm was bent down when the bucket blew off and it bent tiller arm and gave it over 10 degrees of up nozzle and it drove itself over instantly. He was going 125 at the 1000' mark and it went over at the stripe. The transom is damaged on one side and the gunnel under the header is cracked for about 3.5 ft.
Message on Joe's Facebook page from his wifey: "Quick update about Joe Morgan. His surgery yesterday was pretty extensive, 6hrs to reconstruct his upper arm/shoulder. 2nd worse case the doctor has repaired. He's still in icu recovering this am. They have had him intubated all night to try and help his lung recover. He's been a little feisty when the meds wear off so that's a good sign! They hope to remove the tube and wean him off sedation sometime this morning."

No it actually was idling in a circle like an old jet ski was pretty crazy

That's a shitty situation in any case.
