That's nuts. It was either luck or skill(doubtful) that managed to ditch it away from the boat. Don't fancy getting chopped up by those blades.

Likely to be luck, the pilot should really have known better that to attempt this, tow line way too short, big-ish speedboat, probably the best part of a 1.5 tonnes with the engine and people.

Unlikly to get it past insurance either as towing boats will be a no-no

Think they'd been watching Jaws, when the Pilot was going to tow them to safety. Look how that turned out !! The fools.

For some reason I'm reminded of this Operation Paraquet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some proper pilots there!
