bloody hell hope everyone's alright. these jet boats are fun but man they push it hard.

those rivers are no joke. been saying for years the operators cut corners on safety to give tourists a thrill.

yeah nah get stuffed. you don't work on the river, you don't know. they're trained as well as they can be. it's a risky activity.

reckon it's just a matter of time before someone gets proper killed. they drive those things like lunatics right next to rocks.

prayers up for the injured. queenstown needs to sort out its safety regulations for these adventure activities. too many accidents lately.

Finn Walker2026-07-10T06:35:32.000Z

agree tbh. but six injured is still six too many. they might need to review the routes.

NO IT'S NOT 'SHIT HAPPENS'! THIS IS A SYSTEMIC FAILURE! WE NEED TO HOLD THE COMPANY ACCOUNTABLE! PEOPLE ARE INJURED!!!

feel for the drivers too, they're just doing their job. but man six injured is rough. hope it's not too serious.
