Oh I see the problem, the jet ski failed to follow the rule that says you must exit a turn or series of turns in the same direction. (There is no such rule). As far as the comment about looking before he accelerates in a new direction, while I agree it probably happens it's the exception rather than the rule. And once more, nothing a SPEED LIMIT will solve..

Oh man, more comedy gold here, can't resist, I apologize in advance.....

You were a kid once?

Sometimes I wonder if you still make yourself dizzy before you post.

Ok, I'm just joking, I really don't think that..

Once again, I don't buy your premise and I really think you're offbase here but I don't see any way to prove or disprove this.

I think the person in your example ("a generation) was lacking judgement and knowledge that what he was doing was dangerous. I don't care how much you legislate, you won't be able to prevent people like this from doing stupid things if they are determined to do it.
