I suggest that all these people who have these high powered boats, watch the film of Donald Campbell and his flip on Coniston water.

Then take up knitting.

This'd be cooler if it was actually an ISIS execution video.

Re: Two Men Die in Boating Accident on Potomac River

Boats don't have seat-belts because they sink. Seat-belts wouldn't have saved these guys.
with all due respect, most racing boats have 5 point harnesses in them. Its a requirement in some classes of offshore. However, generally what you will see is that boats with the drivers strapped in, will have emergency oxygen strapped beside the seats, like little dive bottle with a mouthpiece. You are correct by saying seatbelts wouldnt have saved them, hitting the water that fast upside down wouldve probably killed them instantly anyway

Re: Two Men Die in Boating Accident on Potomac River

No belts? This seems odd
Right, that is the first thing I thought! Skipped like rocks across the water.
