Riders like that give jet skiers a bad reputation.

Other than Jun and everyone being OK is that you made a friend out of it all and how many people in the world do a video together after an accident? Major props to you both.

teaching potentially the world a lesson

Jun this is great public service I’m so glad everyone is ok!! Chris learned a very valuable lesson and this video will also help so many riders understand the importance of fully paying attention to your surroundings.

First, so thankful you are ok! Props to you both for doing this video and turning a tragic accident into a learning opportunity!!!! You are both pure class acts!!!! God bless you both! Hugs!!!

Thanks Jun for the video. I have been riding skis for over 20 years and never stopped learning. What happened is definitely a learning moment. Glad to see you are ok. Congratulations on an amazing channel

It is not the dealership responsiblity to teach him the ski or how to ride that's what the book is for. He was going to damn fast and everyone else was moving slow. Juan lost his leg because of some dumb shit like this and the guy that hit him is walking around care free. My hat goes off to you on this one. Because if someone hit me like this wife my wife on the back, you mightiest well make there funeral arrangements. He was totally in the wrong and lack riding ability.

You are correct. The dealers aren't to blame. There's a manual that comes with every new jet ski., which describes all the ski's features, how they work, and tells every new owner to get on the water, practice, and familiarize themselves with the ski. It's the rider's responsibility to read that manual and learn to ride safely and responsibly. There's actually shared fault in this crash, I think. Yes, he was indeed going too fast and was too close to not only Jun, but to other people in the ride. However, while it's hard to tell because of the perspective the 360 camera created, it appears that Jun made a left turn into the other guy's path just as he was being overtaken. When you watch the video, when the guy swims up to Jun after the crash, you can hear him say to Jun, "You turned left..." They're avoiding blaming each other because they're friends, and while the guy who hit Jun's ski is admitting some fault and blaming himself to some extent, they are both trying to blame the dealers.

No blame? You're too generous. That dude was driving like a maniac right in between a sand bar and boats that are clearly slowing down to park.

There truly is a lot that can be learned from this video. First of all, guys, don't blame the dealers. Every new ski comes with a manual. Every single thing you talked about is in that manual. It's your responsibility as a rider to read the manual. It is then your responsibility to do what the manual says and get out on the water and practice. Regarding the actual crash, it's very difficult to tell just exactly what happened because it was a 360 camera that recorded it. The 360 camera completely throws the perspective off. However, it appeared to me that there was probably some shared fault in this accident. It appeared as if Jun might have turned to the left just as Chris was overtaking him. In fact, when Chris swims to Jun after the crash, he can be heard stating to Jun, "You turned left..." If that is indeed true, then Jun changed course without checking to see if it was all clear and safe for him to do so. On the other hand, a boating course will teach that a vessel overtaking and passing another vessel from the rear is the give way vessel while the vessel being overtaken and passed is the stand on vessel. That means, that in this case, Jun had the right of way. However, even the vessel with the right of way has to operate his vessel responsibly and safely. So, while Chris may have been at fault because he approached Jun's ski too fast and too close, Jun may have shared in fault for turning his ski into Chris' path. Speaking of boating rules, along with reading the manual, practicing, and riding responsibly, it's a good idea to take a boating course. Another thing about this incident is, were the authorities notified? If a boating accident occurs, and there is damage over a certain amount of money, and/ or an injury occurs, the law requires a report be filed with the proper authorities. Should insurance issues later arise, or an injury should turn out to be more serious than it first appeared, then liability, damage, and medical bills are going to become a big deal, making an official investigation and report invaluable. Finally, this video is the perfect example of what not to do if a thousand pound jet ski strikes you in the back. Jun should have been very carefully taken to the shore and put on his back. He should have remained as quiet and moved as little as possible. He should not have been standing and moving around. He should have remained quiet like that until professional medical personnel checked him out. So many times, injuries in accidents are far worse than they initially appear. This could have turned out so badly. Hopefully all turns out well, and Jun and Chris are still good friends when this is all said and done.

Thank you for putting this out there. I had my wife watch this too. Awareness is golden. I'm happy the injuries weren't worse. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sorry, has absolutely nothing to do with the dealer. Just like anything else, your an Adult, it's YOUR responsibility to understand the machine you are operating. If your not experienced enough, don't ride in groups. Glad your ok.

So glad you’re doing better because it could have been much worse. And thank you both so much for sharing this so that even one person can understand that while it’s fun, it also very dangerous but with education, accidents can be minimized. This vid should be sent to every new rider! Can’t wait to ride with you both.

Dude!!!!!!as a Firefighter/EMT this made me sick to watch....and buddy I've seen a lot in 35 years on the job. Glad you survived. Lots of folks that helped get you to shore. Capturing the incident was amazing footage and glad you can share with the attitude you had with the rider that struck you. Sharing this will hopefully teach others that experience on the water is HUGE and you can teach 95% of water safety in a weekend...... other 10% take you the rest of your life. Hats off to the person that hit you, he obviously is still tore up over it!!! I was wondering why I haven't been seeing your videos lately, fan of Jun's World from Georgia!!!!!

I'm glad that you got together with Chris to do THIS video and all is (mostly) good. This is a good thing. It is a shame it happened, it's a shame the ski took the brunt of the damage, but that can be fixed or replaced... you cannot. We can all learn for this and move forward. It doesn't necessarily take large numbers, it doesn't take anything but a lack of attention to detail, larger groups or small. Inexperience was the cause in this case, plain and simple, as was stated in the video. You can blame large group rides all you want, accidents happen... this is why they're called "ACCIDENTS". I've been riding more then 31 years now, and have seen some and actually been involved in one myself... way back in 1991. When I (and my friend) were new riders. Since then, I always say... "keep your head on a swivel." Know where you are and anybody around you. Jun, I'm glad you are OK after this incident, and Chris has learned a valuable lesson. Something we all need to keep in mind while out there enjoying our addiction. Thank you for sharing and be safe out there... LET'S DO THIS !

The ski who hit you was going way too fast for the amount of skis. You easily could have lost your leg like Juan. The accidents were very similar. I'm glad the skis took most of the damage.

Got hit by my own ski ,by my best friends son,,,only took the ski to my leg ,,had a huge knot for 6 weeks ,but no broken bones ..

That woman didnt hesitate to jump in after you. Got yourself a diamond there.

I was in an accident once, except I was moving at speed when I was hit. I ended up coming to a stop about 30 feet from my ski. Fortunately, unlike you, the other riders ski never hit my body, it only hit my ski. We both went flying. I was a little stiff for a day or two, but not a single cut or bruise on either of us. We were both very lucky. It is amazing how fast a day can turn tragic. This is a great thing you guys did here to raise awareness. I'm glad you both walked away.

Pops glad to see you up an moving around an glad to see a video update you still in my prayers hope to see you soon in person an on a ride out take care pops #DOYOUEVENJETSKIBRO!!!

Jun glad you are ok and thanks for bringing awareness to the community. Prayers for your continuous healing!

You should change the title from "I almost died." to "I almost went to Jet Ski heaven." I loved how you didn't get irate, calmed your wife down, and let everyone know you were ok, especially the person that hit you. An accident is an accident. We all learn from it, and life goes on! Ski on!

Damn, thank god you are safe and still smiling. Quite a blessed individual to not have done some serious body damage or worse. Also, thankfully you had your safety vest on and you were all close to a sand bar and not off-shore. This video is so important for all riders. For me, it will be etched my mind forever, as I am a beginner who literally just picked up my first Sea-Doo. Experience -none! I learned a lot from many individuals on various you tube channels and realized the importance of learning your ski, the waterway, safety (mostly) and care. It was through the community that made me realize there is a learning process, even way before you hit the water. I wish you a speedy recovery. Thanks

Glad you're OK JÜn I went on a group ride like 5 years ago with South Florida riders against my better judgment. I got knocked off my jet ski also. That was my last group ride. See ya on the water.

Jun your a good man brother... Chris is as well. Much Love to both of you guys.....

It’s awesome to see and hear your doing good and bro. Both of you and the kid is ok. I’m still learning every time we go riding. I want to be able to control my ski in every way possible. I like to go fast but as you said you can hurt yourself and others if you don’t know your ski. God bless you guys. See you in the water soon.

Jun, thank you for sharing this....although hard to watch, it really drives home how important it is to be educated on riding.

Dam Dude. Thank goodness you’re OK and you have lots of support behind you

So glad you are ok!! Thank you guys for this video. If it helps only one person it’s worth it. 🙏🏻💖

Note**** ALL water sports,,, Boats, kayaks, surfboards, boogie boards.......NEVER turn broadside/ be broadside of the flow of traffic, current, waves.. etc.... Especially if you in the front..!! Treat the water like the road,, you wouldnt turn broadside in the middle of the road,,... TURN YA HEAD,,, NOT the VESSEL...!! Glad you all are safe.

BOTTOM LINE Dude was not paying attention. Lucky you didn't get a life injury. You are a nice guy!

Glad you’re ok and that you’re quick with the forgiveness. Thanks for showing us the footage. The one crazy wipeout I’ve had was one of the only times I wasn’t recording. lol

So glad that you’re okay! I have the 22 Seadoo GTR 230, just got it in August and I must say it’s very fast and can be unpredictable if you get into a situation where you need to miss someone. I live in Ohio, I had to take a 5 hour boating course before I could operate a boat or PWC. Prayers to both of you.

I'm so glad you are doing ok. Thank you for doing this awareness 😊. Please do more of them. Stay safe out there bro 😊

I'm glad you are good bro! Fast recovery

That accident was horrible. You are very lucky to be here today! I’m not sure I would be able to get back on the water after taking a hit like that. I hope this video and your being here to tell about it makes the newer riders take this sport a little more seriously. It doesn’t matter if it’s a group ride or a few friends out on the water, every rider is responsible for themselves, not the event promoter or the ride leader.

You have a good mindset and handled the situation well. Happy every one is ok. Hoping some day to be able to come down and ride with you guys. Would be fun. The sites to see look pretty awesome.

Nice of you both to be this way. I no longer train riders on Stand Up jetskis for the same reason and and today they are so powerful. I've been hit several times by "newbies" too, and sometimes even going slow. When teaching, I've had "newbies" launch the ski out of the water. Better than motorcycles, but still dangerous. Glade you are both okay.

Glad you’re ok, that’s all that matters!! Health is Wealth🙏🏻

thank you for sharing and simply great advice for reinforcing awareness, riding abilities and knowing your ride.

So glad you’re ok Jun. Damn! I got a little choked up especially when your wife was trying to get to you. But yeah it’s all too common for people with little to no experience buying jetskis when they should be seeking some training first or rent a jetski with an experienced rider close by. I have over 25 years of experience riding jetskis and I’m still very cautious because you just never know what can go wrong! All the best to you Jun!. I’m so glad you’re ok! Keep riding my brother 🤙

I like how his first reaction is to blame you for the accident by going left. Nothing to do with him going that fast next to you. What a tool

Glad your alright, and Chris you behaved like a true gentleman. You jump into action to help immediately, good job.

I appreciate you all coming together and sharing the story.

I’m glad your doing well, it could of been worse. God is good. Thanks for the Video.

Wow!!!! Thank you for your grace, patience and desire to use this as a teachable moment. assuming the injuries were minor, im grateful.

Glad yur ok Jun🙏. Love to all the Flo Riders☀️

Damn that is good Chris... when it dought THROTTLE OUT.... That is incased in my mind now......

Wow…Be safe out there guys! I’ve seen new and experienced riders who are reckless.

This is good…I just got my ski and this is a wake up call that things can go pear shaped very very fast. Thank you for putting this out there. I’m so glad you are both ok.

Lot’s to learn here. Glad you are doing better. Very humbling experience on both sides.

Man I'm glad you're good Jun ..That was wild ..I'm glad everyone was good

Is good to see you both together as it is bad on both side once something like that happens. Hope you are recovering well and hope your will enjoy you new ski now 😂

Hey June, I Would Like To Say As A Yamaha EX Waverunner Owner, F..K The Damage To Your Ski Bro, You Made It Out With A Minor Injury, You Could Have Been Un-Alived That Day, You Can Always Get A New Waverunner Or Parts, Your Still Here With Your Family & This Is A Great Learning Experience For ANYONE New To Waverunner/Jetski's

Wow Jun glad you are OK! You took it like a champ man, looked like a hard hit. Riding in South Florida I do not leave the dock without a helmet and full safety gear. Thanks for posting this and making it a PSA.

Did not expect this video to turn out so positive. I noticed also my dealer gave virtually zero instruction on the ski, everything I know about it is from KZread. Great vid

I know my man’s first thought was to put the blame partially on you, but you could definitely tell the dude cared about you. Truly was an accident and I’m sure he will make some changes on his riding style

Thank you for sharing Safty First!! Awareness is Key!

Thanks for the vid, stay safe out there.

Glad you both are okay. With all those skis riding together at high speeds chances are higher for an accident. Hopefully others learn from this video and know your ski before heading out to these large group rides!

Glad you are doing well Jun , in your video and in the comments no one mentioned slow down when you around other riders and or boats , just saying 👍🏼 happy New year from Austin Texas 🇨🇱

I appreciate this video as I'm new to the jetski game, informative information for me and others. I will meet up with you guys one day. Glad you guys are cool. Safety always first👊

Great advice. I've got about 300hrs. on mine, and some days I have to remind myself not to get too cocky out there, things can happen in a second. Every trip out on the water theirs new skiers and boaters, keep your eyes everywhere.

Glad youre okay! That's what matters

Thank god your good bro 💯🙏🏾

Thanks for the video brother!!

I rented a PWC 30 years ago at a resort on Houghton Lake. The resort owner told me if he saw me within 500 feet of another PWC, I would loose my deposit !

Knarliest crash i ever seen really gladyour ok

Chris responded like a gentleman.

Yep the water is dangerous. I was knocked off ski by what must have been a boat wake I didn't see. I hit nothing but water but I still suffered a fractured spine and a torn artery in my chest. I thought is was dying with the pain but had to ride my ski back to the ramp amd load it whole 2 FL wild life cops were hound me about going to fast thru the idle zone. I told them I was just in a wreck and was heading directly to the hospital.

Dang brother, you were one cool calm customer when that happened. Even advising your wife to stay on her ski. I know why you did that was to protect her from other drivers.

If you dont know your ski dont drive it like its stolen. Im glad you're OK Jun. This was easily avoidable

Glad you are feeling better that’s terrible. This is why I avoid most new riders with these fast skis they have no idea how to ride.

Gracias a dios estas buen saludos 🙏🙏

Even me as someone whose only rode a jet ski 4 times, i would never be going that fast in between other people that was very irresponsible and shouldn't be done regardless of level of experience but most importantly he will learn from this and nobody was hurt .

That accident footage, WOW!

Large group rides are absolutely risky. It's sort of like large group motorcycle rides. It's a whole new experience with a large group than when you're alone or if there's just a couple of you. It's mostly common sense, though. It's all about watching your speed, your proximity to other skis, your following distance, and constantly watching all around you. Also, READ YOUR MANUAL. It tells you everything about your new jet ski. Then, get on the water and practice. These machines are extremely powerful, fast, and they weigh a thousand pounds. They can cripple or kill people if you don't respect them and ride them responsibly and safely. And, as we saw, it can happen in a split second.

waooo good lesson for beginners.

Only way is hours on the water and riding different types of water. I like to wave jump in the surf so a lot of times you need to get out of the way of the next wave and need to gas the ski quick and you learn by second nature you cant turn unless you throttle the ski. The best way to learn is trail riding through marsh, you HAVE to make sharp turns and you learn real quick by going off the trail into the marsh a few times you have to gas the ski in order to turn last second. Even riding around buoy's will teach you..... throttle, throttle and more throttle for turning till its automatic without thinking.
