Man on water scooter ploughs into ferry off Southampton

Luckily he wasn't hurt.
The picture was captured by a passenger on a car ferry and shows the moment the water scooter rider discovered ferries are hard.

Coastguards described the crash as a "glancing blow" and said the man - who was uninjured - was picked up by a companion on another machine. The catamaran, the 12:15 GMT from Southampton to Cowes, was undamaged.

A glancing blow ?

Ouch !

How do you not see a ferry ?

Yeah, that 'glancing blow' looks like a full on T-bone.

I see Eddie the Eagle gave up his skis for a jet ski.

ROFL

Sources at the scene described the man as being "enraged" stemming from an prior argument at a local bar.

Eyewitnesses to the prior altercation at the bar stated that the man became enraged over a game of darts when another patron insulted him by stating "you couldn't hit the broadside of a barn".

Now it makes sense.

Lol, are you sure it was not about the elections in the USA?

Never drive angry. Case in point.

To be fair, the ferry captain should have seen the scooter also.
