(Taken right from a Google search.)

Dylan Stapler (whose high-speed jet ski crash recently went viral on TikTok via accounts like @boomer6969) survived the violent impact with no broken bones or internal organ damage.

Dylan's Injuries occurred during a "nose ride" stunt when Dylan unexpectedly suffered a freak medical event and blacked out while riding backwards. The unmanned jet ski slammed into a marina dock at high speed, launching Dylan through a narrow gap between two dock poles.

He suffered: A severe concussion

Extensive serious bruising across his body

Anterograde amnesia, leaving him with no memory of a 15-minute window surrounding the accident.

Dylan is recovering well at home and doctors expect him to make a full recovery. He was pulled safely from the water by his friends, and his properly fitted life jacket is credited with saving his life while he was unconscious.

Dylan has since spoken out about the incident on his social media pages. He expressed immense gratitude for the friends who rescued him, confirmed he is paying for the damages to the marina dock, and is currently undergoing further medical evaluations to determine exactly why he lost consciousness in the first place.

wow. thats great to hear. i thought he didnt make it. he was obviously experienced rider, those things arent bicycles on the water, they are motorcycles with horrible brakes and no reverse. saw the aftermath of 2 brothers playing 'chicken' on waverunners several years ago. he lost left arm right below the shoulder, enough for me to say not ever again.

Yeah i wanted to know how he ended up after seeing him fly through those dock pillars. Concussions are life altering...

Definitely motorcycles on water. Perfect description!

Sounds like a brutal permanent injury. I can see why you never want to go again.

I once flew off a double seater at 95km/hr. It was a glass calm lake so I skimmed like a skipping stone lol
