Douche. I've looked at small ponds and thought it'd be great to get a jetski on that thing but this is ridiculous. Your really pushing the envelope on this one Giz.

Jimbuck

I did the exact same thing just yesterday!! Okay, it was my canoe in my pool and we didn't paddle, we were just checking for leaks and we don't have a stripper pole next to the pool, but otherwise it is EXACT!!

I'll work on getting a video...

Toshie

@Y2KGTP:

And then he falls backwards, hits his head on the concrete and drawns in 2 inches of water.

Lupison

I would at least understand if it was in a pool.

DarkHavoc99

What a waste of a perfectly good wave runner. No doubt this guy still lives with his parents...

stradric

Was waiting for a future Darwin award.....

Y2KGTP

@themightykorean: Poor lack of spelling for pole...

themightykorean

You might be a redneck if...

atomx

That poor poll...

themightykorean

Apple should make them recall this also.

HJTravels

I thought it was pretty funny but I've ridden a windsurfer in a swimming pool so my vote goes in the Friends Of The Family column.

friendslikeJimRome

I'd rather watch some girl on that stripper pole. :P

PantherShade

@Curves: well said.

started my day off w/ a boost of self confidence, thx giz !

graphx

The best part is that this douche put on a WET SUIT to do this bullshit.

and no, it doesnt look more exciting then it sounds. not remotely.

nystreetfilms

That looked like fun for the exact amount of time the video took.

I'm gonna call it even.

strider_mt2k

AKA-what you do when your parents go out of town and leave you home with the hot tub, a jet ski, a camera and a well stocked liquor cabinet.

Curves

"... an idiot, full of sound and fury,signifying nothing."

more of a wetdream than a douchbag.

ANoel

Is that a brass stripper pole on the left side of the screen that he rubs the jetski up against? Does something like this video come as a surprise from someone who has a stripper pole mounted to the side of their house adjacent to a jacuzzi?

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

Total iPhone ripoff.

Seriously though... Why, in God's name, would you put this on Gizmodo?

macserv

I Like the stripper pole better lol!!!

Trip.

Triplet66

Im sorry but this is just plain stupid. What's the point of this video? i cant believe this guy is getting all this attention for doing something dumb. Why Gizmodo? WHY?

cscamp20

@Margatron: What you don't realize is both the house and the sea doo are probbibly being repoed later int he week...

Froggmann

Does he not realize that he just contaminated his jacuzzi water with carbon dioxide from his engine? He has to empty the whole thing out now!

Margatron

It would have been far more interesting if his drunken buddies off camera were in the hot-tub...

"Hey Billy - Rev that thing up and get some extra bubbles going - YEEHAW!"

now it just looks like an idiot with nothing better to do than promote himself on the intertubes as a self-proclaimed douche - priceless.

zarchitect

I have that exact same Jet Ski.

juicebytim

He needs one of those stationary lap pools for this.

Gann

Would have been funnier if this was all because the hot tub's circulator was broken. Visualize some poor sod sitting in the tub and waiting for the soothing jets to relax him, then the horror of the jetski pounding him about the tub.

rtwod2

dumb.

hagrun

America: People who are convinced they are rich... finding creative ways of wasting water and gas... while destroying expensive toys.... (shakes head)

kelseymonster

Why is this on gizmodo, how is this interesting

mykola

I know what I'm doing this weekend!

metaly

jacuzzi, jet ski and stripper pole. what a trifecta

discounteggroll

I'd take either one and treat them much better.
@ kelseymonster: Americans aren't all like that. I wouldn't have defended it a few months ago but when you see something dieing, you start thinking of all the good times you had together and forget all the years of rape and abuse.

phlavor

Bicycle on Treadmil > Jet Ski in Hot Tub.

If he Does live with his parents, they're probably the ones with the strip pole by the tub (sounds like asking for a broken neck), so I probably wouldn't get near that tub.

Human Bomb

this is the stupidest thing i've seen today.

but take heart! the day is yet young.

tallboy

@kelseymonster: I am proudly American, I am not convinced I am rich... I do not find creative ways of wasting water and gas and most certainly do not destroy expensive toys. Get over yourself.

Curves

Incredible how a simple ball cap seems to take 100IQ points off the wearer. Those things must be made from Unicorn hair or something...

ShinySideUp

Now there's fuel exhaust [oil/gas] in the water...smart

mikepetel

Half crazy half AWESOME!!!!

Kryptinite

@kelseymonster: Don't you mean Dubai? :P

Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!

Not only is he an idiot. He filmed it to let the whole world know.

smashingparadox

@vertigo: 'Twould seem you have already...

strider_mt2k

If I were Darwin I would smite him

vertigo

That is the most action that hot-tub has or ever will see.

qwijybo

Please tell me this guy does not vote.

badhatharry

Where's the part when he falls off and breaks his neck?

chrstphr

@kelseymonster: Ya know, i was thinking the exact same thing. Without the Anti-American part. And thats because i am American. He's just a fuck nozzle.

@ShinySideUp: Its not so much the hat that takes away the points. Its the Cletus-style face/smile he has on his mug that really kills any possibility of beating a head of cabbage in checkers.

@Human Bomb: Yea, Bicycle on treadmill isn't A. Wasting water, B. Wasting gass, and C. potentially destroying 2 rather expensive products that 75% of the populous would never own. So yes, that IS better, in MANY ways.
(please don't argue about people owning bikes and treadmills... they ARE found a LOT more in families, than jet skis and hot tubs.)

And now i'm sad that i've typed this much dealing with such a waste-of-human-life video :-\

WildWon

Maybe this fellow lives in a land-locked state, without rivers and lakes in the area, and this is an act of desperation. In that case we should salute his resolve. Does his act make any less sense than Phoenix?

propertius

oh, but for a slight miscalculation of the throttle, and the gene pool would be slightly corrected.

che_leo

Apply the Hoon of the Day label and send this to Jalopnik please...

Maximum Braff sLutz

Only in America.

William Hook

That's a egg beater, the dude is just making a giant cake.

wetworker

@Lupison: That is the part of the video that I would've liked to watch.

RE-L

I was expecting some kind of creepy accident... that would have made my day.

TM-Oliveira

Great idea to contaminate your jacuzzi.

nexgenmax

He should have used a stand-up. He could have at least ridden around the hot tub on it. WIth the backwards ball cap, the stunting would have been stupendous.

zenpoet

"Dude, hold my beer. Watch this."

ninjagin

@ShinySideUp: The orientation of the ball cap has to be backwards for maximum stunting.

morbo

Florida. This has to be in Florida.

G for GRENADE

I'm going to diasagree with Jesus: that sounds more exciting than it looks.

dougiec29

Is this what rich kids do for fun these days when they're not paying bums to fight or writing crappy songs about how no one understands and how terrible their lives are? They need to start a new student exchange program where they send OC kids to Mogadishu.

Hardcore1

I would say half sad, half stupid. I mean, all that effort to get the jet ski in the jacuzzi, so he can ride it for like 30 seconds and then be called and idiot by almost everyone who saw the video.

Edi_bOMB

He was probably testing it in the jacuzzi, then had this brilliant idea of posting it on the internet. My dad ran our fishing boat's engine in a large garbage bin to see if it worked, which is did.

Chewbenator

What I did on my vacation...
