Goodness... it looked like he was on the tidal part of the Thames with that wave that followed him!!!! Looked like he was taking part in a obstacle course for prats....!!!! These lovely old swing bridges will not last if this is what they have to put up with!!
This video, as well as others I have seen like it, just reconfirms my opinion that people are stupid. Why in the world were they going so fast? I live in a resort town in CA and I thought all the stupid tourists were in my town. They walk up the middle of the street like they are in Disneyland. When it snows, they park in the middle of the roads, they steal real estate signs and use them as sleds, they allow their children to play in the snow right along the side of the highway instead of going into one of the parks, they trespass in people's yards, mine included. I found a woman in my chicken coop one morning cause she wanted to see the chickens. Seriously?? I had a friend who came home to people having a picnic on her deck. They knock on people's doors and ask to use their bathrooms. At our previous home, we had hikers constantly going through our yard. Their excuse was they didn't realize anyone actually lived in our house. I guess the car in the driveway, the clothes on the line, the kids playing in the yard and the chickens in the coop wasn't enough of a hint. The list goes on. I guess stupid tourists are a world wide problem.
Not just tourists a problem but locals too, trespass and theft used to happen on my small farm in New Zealand. An entire crop of pumpkins was stolen one night! Now living in Australia and don't have that problem except for the occasional drunk who can't distinguish a driveway from the road!
Almost up on the plane with that one! Look at the amount of squat as the boat tries to get over the bow wave and the amount of wake behind it. It does make you wonder just why they have to go so fast. Where do they need to get to so quickly, especially in a day boat.
Not even close, notice when he cuts power the bow is still high, its unevenly loaded, not going on plane, second if you think this is fast you need to come out with me on my boat.
@@integr8er66 it's as close as you'll get on a canal. But it was a joke... Lol. I used to own an offshore American powerboat, so I know about going fast. Not on an inland waterway though.
@@markphillips2076 absolutely amazing how some people can't even begin to comprehend the mere thought of humor, must be a truly miserable existence. Back to the subject at hand however, that guy was obviously going _waaaay_ to fast for that canal, it's a miracle he didn't destroy that lift bridge 😲
All true. Everyone is sat on the left side, also you should be doing like tiptoing pace approaching a gate. Revving the engine like that will just break it in no time.
It's a pity they didn't sink it. Phil, did you send a copy to the hire business? Mind you, I know you're not a lift bridges biggest fan. Thanks Phil, and take care with these lunatics on the loose. Looked as though there were a whole family inside the cabin.
@@MiscellanyofMishaps I see your upset because your not getting ad revenue from this video well I have a cunning plan..... Post it on your main channel as an educational video. Do a voice over of what caused them to crash making no reference to their sex gender nationality or them being a hire boat.
There have always been idiots on the canals but nowadays there are too many, that’s why we chose to move onto a quiet river mooring, much more peaceful 🦆💕
This is scary! You can only see the very top of that ship. It must have started sinking hours before this video was shot. And there was no room for that whale to get by. Oy!!
I live in the US and I see this sort of irresponsible boat operation in just about every place I go from Ohio to Florida. I attribute much of this kind of behavior to drinking alcohol. So many people equate boating with drinking. They see nothing wrong with driving a boat while being totally smashed which is a sure way you and your boat get all smashed up due to crashing.
OMG that is mental, we get a few boats passing us a bit quick but nothing like that. No wonder hire boats get damaged so much, I guess they just think they can go as fast as the engine will let them.
was everyone inside sitting on the left, along with the fridge the fire the washing machine and the freezer ? Or was his wife just really fat...we'll never know :/
This might be the most non-outrageous outrageous video I’ve seen.
Too much to drink? Dangerously, Don't know why they were laughing!
Ahh yes laughing = Drunk, Boy what a life you must have
@@integr8er66 So what were they laughing at? Their own incompetence?
Nobody wants to restrict people's fun, but that behaviour is ridiculous

I bet you're the one that drives 10 mph below the speed limit, because that boat was going super captain slow.
@@strokerstang1 Don't be simple. You could see clearly he was overevving it. You're one of the people he's refering too.
@mobsiesixsixsix9785 this was two years ago......did you just get released from a prison or asylum.

@@TheMattc999 I blame my low emoji count for not signalling sufficient humour on the post. I'll correct that in future. 😉😁👍⌛👍👍👍😅😂🤣🤪🛥️🚤
@@integr8er66 Holy mother of God, people like you really exist? You do know this boat holds the current world speed record?
That boat is listing heavily and the stern is so far down that it looks like it's almost sinking! 😲
And they look WAY too fast.
All true. Everyone is sat on the left side, also you should be doing like tiptoing pace approaching a gate. Revving the engine like that will just break it in no time.
Typical day boat driving I'm afraid. That's not to say ALL day boats are like that. But a LOT are, Llangollen seems to have most the numptys
The worst places I would say are anywhere within one days cruise of a hireboat base. Which is most places!
ABC is a top contender, they don't know bless em, they think they are doing a good job. They don't get a lesson I reckon.
You did not search for this
Still waiting for the crash...
Are you freaking kidding me?! Get him off the water!
Speeding? They must have been going all of 5-7 kts. Hold on to your hats 😂
this is why i restrict our throttles lol
OMG, they have to be drunk.
It’s pretty obvious
Now that was one hell of a crash, best I've seen in a while....
If you thought that was a crash,,, you should have seen me at 16
Hitting things like that can do a lot of damage.
What is wrong with people. The wake from that boat was horrendous. Very Scarey. More training needed before they take the boat out.
It doesn't matter how training they have its the showing off that needs sorting.
So where was the crash?
Its Just the dont give a crap its hired attitude,they should treat them with respect like its their own,sadly not.
The engine governor,/ restrictor needs setting up on lower rev's, that prop surge washes away the clay lining of the canal.
Is his throttle just an on / off switch?
I'm just glad everyone made it out safe and sound. These type of speed demons need to be banned from the waterways.
Imagine them passing between two other boats.
*bam bam bam
Thank you
I cant work out whether everyone is being sarcastic or serious about this to be honest
Honestly sarcastic

This video is a few years old but I did report it at the time. Nothing ever gets done about it though.

Don’t know why they were laughing ....that’s not fun that’s reckless
Been on the sauce, I would guess 🤷🏼♂️
Ive been canal boating for 60 years hire boaters cannot understand the physics of a boat on restricted water.
That is just ridiculous . Main reason I’ll never buy an ex hire boat.
"Day hire", rental?
One of those dreadful day hireboats not shown how to navigate.
Ive had to seek trauma consueling .please post warning on title
We're gonna need a narrower boat.
This is scary! You can only see the very top of that ship. It must have started sinking hours before this video was shot. And there was no room for that whale to get by. Oy!!
Thanks
I didn’t see them hit the bridge. I see they haven’t quite mastered the navigation yet 😂
They did hit the bridge but the camera was too far away to record the sound of the bash.
@@MiscellanyofMishaps I’ll take another look 👍
Never underestimate the stupidity of other people.
It’s devastating ! Were any lives lost ?
That looks dangerously unstable!
Why jump on a narrow boat if you like to move quickly?
laughing-boy pissing himself as he smashes into the canal heritage. i'd talk such shit to those guys they'd consider stabbing me lol
Sounds like a powerful motor ! He did well to hold her back !!!
Lucky to be alive after that horrible crash 😂😂
“Crashes”?
I've been surrounded by canals my entire life in the West Midlands. I've never seen a wake like that before. People are stupid.
Someone needs to tell him it's not a dodgem, the rubbing strips aren't to bounce it off obstacles!
Pissed up ? 😂
I didn’t see a crash but very close
The haircut explains the problem.
Could've been worse. Let out your inner child!!
People just don’t care! That poor boat
Hold my beer n watch this Kev!

With a boat like this there is no way you could damage anything, top speed 3 mph with a tail wind. Jeeze ppl this was nothing
Seems like if they both weren't on the left side it might have made it by.
Beating ass right along. probably be in the World offshore championships next year!
Speeding... .SHT!!
OMG that is mental, we get a few boats passing us a bit quick but nothing like that.
No wonder hire boats get damaged so much, I guess they just think they can go as fast as the engine will let them.
scrapes the wall
Fake News. Doesn't crash into lift Bridge.
Yes it does... at 44 seconds
Ridiculous behavior
No driver training. Anyone can go downtown and buy a Captains hat.
I think he thought it must have been a grp cruiser...omg...wth..have the respect...it's a narrowboat not a jet boat..
Does it remind anyone else of Jeremy Clarksons driving skills
Hope no major damage was done to the boat or bridge. 🤣
Could almost pull a water skier going that speed!
Wer die Boote nicht beherrscht sollte Sie einfach nicht fahren 🙈🙈🙈
The driver could not drive a dinky toy.
That was a let down
Have another pint.
It’s the hair cut.
Funny when its not your boat😤
Hope he doesn't drive a car steering like that!!
"speeding"..."crashes"???
was everyone inside sitting on the left, along with the fridge the fire the washing machine and the freezer ? Or was his wife just really fat...we'll never know :/
😆😆🤣🤣
What a load of crock!
Engine speed, all or nothing
Didn't see any crash💥🤔
They bashed the brickwork, not the lifting part of the bridge thank goodness. The bricks can get badly damaged by this sort of abuse.
Fools

Slow is pro! Trim dims
ASS WIPP
Yeah, hilarious……tossers.
