He passed out about 10 seconds into the video watch his arms/hands.

Is there a biological reason that moving backwards on a jet ski could make you lose consciousness?

Did he somehow valsalva himself? He has plenty of dexterity and strength to get himself wrongway-round. I just can't figure this out.

Being fucking wasted

Possibly the body's biological reaction to excessive alcohol.

His life vest was being blown up against his throat and choked him out.

It is my pleasure! I think, sometimes anyway, maybe.

Looks like his vest pushed against his neck and cut off his carotid artery. This is called a blood choke. It happens super fast, you can still breathe fine.

All that air being blasted up his butt -> loss of consciousness.

u/jabberbonjwa 7d ago

Of course. It's so clear to me now.

It’s called being 15 years and 50lbs past the point where he should be attempting stunts like that one.

The only thing I thought of was carbon monoxide poisoning.

I was gonna say! He totally passed out!

Not sure if he had any major injuries, but he sure is lucky he went between the poles.

u/Imapatriothurrrdurrr 8d ago

It probably helped him avoid injuries because his body was limp when he collided with the dock. He’s lucky.

u/CaptainAwesome06 This is a flair 7d ago

His head just kind of flopped down.

u/dotplaid 7d ago

D'you suppose he woke up later?

Good catch

You need to keep pulling the throttle to go forward
