      Not having any proper restraints on. When the parachute opened it created drag decreasing the speed of the boat rapidly. He didn’t slow down at the same rate but he wasn’t attached to the boat properly.

      You would rather be stuck in an open cockpit boat if it flipped over and came down on top of you? You must have a death wish. It’s better to get away from the boat than stay in it. The only boats with seatbelts also have roll cages and they go a lot faster than this boat does and you’re still likely to get extremely hurt when the capsule goes skipping across the water at well over 270mph. Just look at Scott Lumbert.
