[White-water] Awesome Jet Boat Action Video on Wild Rogue!!

[thedave at frozenplanet.com]

while it does seem that they are doing nothing illegal, i do see some wanton destruction of nature. 

correct me if i'm wrong here, but i'm under the impression that those engines dump quite a bit of crap into the river during normal operation.

Please define "open season" as far as I can discern they did nothing illegal. Nor did I see any wanton destruction of nature, sure it would not be fun to meet a boat like that while running a rapid, but to be honest you sound to me just like the fly fishermen that don't like us on the river because we "destroy the experience". 

All that being said, those guys are completely foolish for not strapping on a helmet. Catching that type of air will lead to someone being throw from the boat and striking a rock, then likely drowning.

I think it should be open season on anyone taking a powerboat on a river like this. This is a shamefull display of arrogance and I can't imagine any intelligent American doing this. Let's see how much of Nature we can possible destroy in a weekend, YAHOO!
