Authorities say the man operating the vessel suddenly fell overboard, and the Coast Guard had to intercept and stop the boat.

The incident has raised awareness among boat operators to wear their engine shut-off clip lanyards, which are required by federal law on most boats under 26 feet.

Is that a Bay Rider 25? I'd expect a boat that costs as much as a small house would have better build quality; the console has broke loose from the hull.

@Swedishtroll69 Yeah, from this perspective. I imagine the Coastie's heart was pounding when he jumped!

Probably so. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a pacemaker!

@Swedishtroll69 I have to admit, boat wrangling looks kinda fun.
