Never hosted a rail jam and had this happen to us.

Holy crap. I always wondered if that would ever happen. Any idea what went down to cause it? Did the pool rip or did a support break?


Amazing no damage was done with all of those expensive boats sitting close to each other.

I bet it was not level. They said some water started coming over one of the sides. Once it did I guess it just kept flowing.

Not really sure... We have to wait until the engineer tells us what went wrong from what the event coordinator said.

Pretty wild. At least boats float.

They said there was a rider in the pool when it broke. Would have been sick to see him (or her) surf that wave out.

glad there was no damage, pretty neat to see considering that. I would have liked to see a shot of the rider too, curious how it went down from the tank perspective.
