If that were me; I'd catch a gnat in one eye. Then a millisecond later, a junebug in the other eye. Which causes me to go sailing off into the water and be promptly mauled by a crocigator. Then the boat would circle around and gut me with the propeller still spinning at 5500RPM. All while a bunch of fellers videoed the whole thing on their cell phones.
Just think of the "views" I'd get. Big Grin

Yup TXJIM has it right. not a chance we are in big speeds. Looking at the hair and eyes I'm not sure we are even up to 50.

it looks like parts of it early on are definitely sped up. Just watching the water roll off the boat made it clear.
