    Wireless Kill switches are commonplace these days, brains are not. It seems like every other day You read about someone falling off a cliff (or boat) and dies trying to get the “perfect” social media picture...

    More often than not a driverless OB will make ever-tightening circles till it ends up spinning right where it dropped its driver. This guy was lucky, although I doubt he'll feel too lucky when he's paying for those docks and scrapping his boat.

    The boat was spiraling before it took off. They had to dive several times as it tried to run them over.
