ok some dude and his passengers took a big hit this past weekend at Lake Mead in the Narrows, story has it that it happened during daytime 230pm and one woman lost a limb, 4 others seriously injured ..........they put this approx 27 ft Hallet and put it up a cliff! some people are asking questions about what happened on CL and posting pics in response etc.... ...check out these pics
UPDATE on the Hallet crash in the narrows at Lake Mead
....after reading this Im thinking the Hallet overreacted, and probably should have slowed up when the seadoo came up closer....I know my boat hits the powerbrakes practically when I chop the power... who knows for sure....it is SUPER NARROW at the north end of the narrows....and the seadooers in vegas occasionally have been knows to do real STUPID and thoughtless things.....the Hallet dude prob spazzed out on the controls, just because you can afford a new Hallet doesnt mean you know how to operate it well LOL.
NEW RESPONSE on CL with the supposed actual account of the incident...
from another person..... text below from CL july 13th
"Brand new 29 hallett, i know the owner of the boat, & his fiance very well, also another 2 of my very good friends (another couple), were on the boat along with 3 other people i don't know (7 total).... everyone is going to be ok, bruised up a bit and very sore, a couple of the passengers were air lifted as a precaution but no major injuries from what i've been told.
An idiot on a sea doo cut in front of them in the narrowest part of the narrows and then did a 180 right in front of them. The driver was forced to make an evasive turn in one direction to miss the sea-doo, then an evasive turn back the other direction to stop from running up onto the rocks. It was at this point the boat spun out and ejected all 7 passengers. Since there is no kill switch and no self returning throttle on the boat (like most other boats that size) the boat then took back off and ran itself up the rocks.
Another friend of mine was up in front of them when it happened in his eliminator, he just happened to look over his shoulder when it all went down, he hauled ***** to the opposite side of the narrows from where all the passengers were in the water (thinking everyone was still on the boat up rocks) and was yelling into the boat if anyone was ok, he then turned around and noticed everyone back on the other side a couple hundred yards away i'd guess, he went over there and started throwing life jackets and shi%* in the water, and doing a head count, everyone was there (no one drowning or under water)
BTW the a$%^ole on the Sea-Doo fled the scene."
