Midwest Bassmasters, Wichita Kansas
A crew was out filming Greg in his boat when he hit the wave behind the boat at the wrong angle and too fast. Boat speed was around 70 mph. Greg's Life Vest and kill switch SAVED HIS LIFE. He was unconscious in the water for about 10 minutes. As you can see the boat never turned over. Greg suffered a cracked Sternum, broken ribs and almost broke his neck and collarbone. We are showing this in hopes that a lot of you Bass Boat Drivers have gotten lazy about putting your Vest on and hooking up your kill switch.
All of you have hit a suprise wave from out of nowhere at speeds of 70 mph or more. Don't let this happen to you.
