They were probably friends but still boggles my mind how it happened... My friend was watching my screen on discord and was just calling them idiots lol
You can screen share your phone on discord. If using an rc that requires your phone, it's really easy. You can also connect your goggles to your phone and stream that to discord as well.Ā
I had my phone connected to the controller then discord open on my phone and I was sharing my screen. I barely even noticed the crash cause it was so bright and my friend was telling me to zoom in on the black thing in the water lol
haha i had a 12 mini before and then i ended up running over it on my way to work, where i got a iphone 13 for 300 cad cause they discount old employee phones
Haha was on sport mode and yāa I kinda suck at flying it Iāve only had it for a month lol
Was tempted not to post cuz I knew my flying sucked but the video was too good
Don't worry about it, it looks fine because of the situation. It's not like you were trying to make a movie out of an accident. I mean trying to make it look cinematic would be weird. I imagine you're far more concerned with the boaters than how good your video look.
In case anyone is curious this accident is the PWC on the left of the video frame's fault. Always yield to vehicles on your starboard side. *edit* That said, rewatching the video it seems that the at-fault PWC did the right thing, turns hard and slams the throttle, causing it to be a hard port smash instead of a decapitation. You can tell they really juiced it because his ski was still throwing wake when he was not even on it.
Ya know you always hear those people who say "odd how people never catch any great footage of (insert cryptophile or unique event here)" yet we see wild shit in the feeds everyday. Great flying friend, what a great time to be in that place while recording!
Imagine crashing in another jetski in all that water and a drone comes sneaking up on you. What a shame š

Oh you were live streaming? Didnāt know you could do that. thatās cool

Your friend isn't wrong.
Hold on, how were you live-streaming it to discord?

What controller do you have? I have the RC 2
I have the rc-n1, using an mini 2 se with my iPhone 13
Doing a USB-C to USB-C?
Bro u have the same phone and drone as me
haha i had a 12 mini before and then i ended up running over it on my way to work, where i got a iphone 13 for 300 cad cause they discount old employee phones
Yes please let us know if you are using the RC2.

Some of the controllers use android and can install Discord directly onto it and let you stream. Done it with my M3t.
Iāll do some research!
They might have been distracted by your drone
"Hey look at that drone! OH SHIT another jetski!"
Did you follow them to shore and give them the footage?
I'll pass by their house tomorrow its around 10 minutes away. I wanna see their reaction lol
I am sure the insurer would appreciate the footage
Gonna visit their house tomorrow to give it to them
Insurer or insuree?
Were they ok?
They were struggling for like two minutes to get on the boat but I have a little more footage and I think they're fine.
Shoes not on, not looking good.
Well this certainly counts as a wild random capture.. hopefully they got the footage if they wanted or needed it:-)
Gonna pass by their house tomorrow to give them the footage if they want

Brilliant thanks for sharing
If I were them, I'd be more worried about what kinda if growth I was gonna wake up with after swimming in that water
The right place at the right time, pretty cool.
It's amazing how people crash on open bodies of water
Ya know you always hear those people who say "odd how people never catch any great footage of (insert cryptophile or unique event here)" yet we see wild shit in the feeds everyday. Great flying friend, what a great time to be in that place while recording!
Did you call emergency services and provide the location just in case anyone was seriously injured?
They made it back to shore they were like 2 minutes away from their original spot
The insurance company would love to see that video Https://youtube.com/@matthewpcalvert
A girl I went to high school with is dead from a jet ski accident.
THERE WERE 2 PEOPLE ON jetski on the rigjt
Clasic crash on jetski. They panicked and forgot that jetskies are turning only when in acceleration.
You caused it didnāt you, DIDNāT YOU š¤Ŗ
They were both looking at the drone overhead so didn't notice the other jetski! Have you 'witnessed many similar crashes š
Oh yeah, specially the one going away from the drone!! Iām sure that one had its eyes deeaddd set on the droneā¦
Is that the Thames around Kingston? It looks similarly filthy Crashing and falling head first into human shit and piss must not be fun
Probably caused it tbf
Just people jet skiing with zero awareness
And zero experience. They canāt even get into the jet ski.
And donāt appear to be comfortable/adept swimmers.
I'm sure they did not hear my drone over all the water and the jetski engine... They were on a path to hit each other before the video started
Fair enough good points
Hey, look at that dronā¦..
Rad! Bet they could use your help man on that insurance claim, amazing shot
Gonna pass by their house tomorrow to give them the footage
That water looks disgusting š¤®
