I read all twelve pages of Discovery Channel's "Fansite" this morning, and am convinced that there is no myth to be busted.

It points out that the "myth-busting" was done with the boat on a trailer—which got damaged—absorbing part of the impact intended for the boat. Also, the test was conducted in the rain—which meant the tires hydroplaned, and allowed the boat and trailer to skid sideways.

The original photographer shared several of the other photographs taken that day.

Anyone notice that www.winnipesaukee.com's Photopost got a mention? (Page five there).
