Sad. Hope it is a false alarm.
It's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.

How do you not know if someone is in the boat or not? It's a boat, last time I was on a boat, it would have been tough to NOT see someone, unless we're talking something much bigger.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

OMG That is horrible. I can't imagine being the boat operator I cannot believe they didn't notice he wasn't on board! Wow....

I agree.....but have seen some of these large wake boats with 10-12 people in them. Add a few "pops" and people having fun and I could see it happening....

Reminds me of that couple diving in Australia left behind on a dive tour.... that boat operator must be in his own hell right now. I would think he will always be wondering if he watched them drive away? Did he dive in and not resurface? Alcohol involved? Horrible tragedy....

Exactly, if not more packed on them. Not sure why they don't just get cabin cruisers or pontoon boats, how often do they really wake board?
Saw one packed heading out in the waves with five bimbos laying on the back yesterday, was just watching waiting for one to fall in.

Young women taking part in the fun? What makes them "bimbos" for being young and on a boat?

So okay, everyone wants to be on the boat, and so did I at one time, but to not know if someone was off it?

And I like how Globaltv news put it "the boat didn't know someone was missing and the boat drove away."

NO, the operator of the boat.... but you know.

I could easily see it happening, like the other poster said add in booze or GHB and they don't have a clue what is going on.

Sadly I can see that happening too. Boating and being hammered seem to all too often go together.

So if there was five guys laying in the back would one refer to them as "boy toys" or gigalos?

Drugs are very common also, not just booze.
They would be doosh bags!
Of course I am stereotyping the packed wakeboard boats.
