I have hit the water at 70mph and it hurts. You roll on the water for about a hundred feet and then go into it at an angle. You will have bruises.

Heck, I've hit it a lower speeds than that trying to learn how to waterski...Got a big surprise landing butt first. I stayed in the driver's seat after that and didn't attempt to ski again for about two months. Never could get it right.

I took a spill on my waverunner last summer at around 68 mph, and I honestly thought it was going to tear me apart. I limped around for a week, and had a sore shoulder until Halloween. I pay much closer attention now.
