just last week i was knocked unconscious when my face hit the water at about 45 mph. we were turning around and i was edging out toe edge, whipping pretty fast, when i caught my edge somehow and went face first into the water at the peak of the turn around. left me with a concussion, unconscious, nose bleeding, and my lip ripped from where it attaches to the gum. I was wearing a non-coastie, but it still kept me a float while my friends came back and pulled me out of the water. I dont remember any of it happening, and when i came to on the boat, they had to convince me i was in fact wakeboarding. pretty scary, but we have never, and will never consider wakeboarding without some sort of life jacket on.
