First I laughed like a drain but I agree holding on is going to put you into the prop. She was certain to fall out even if he only snapped the throttle shut as she was leaning back against the bow rope with her legs inboard. A sharp turn to port would have sent her over as well. She should have been inside the tubes braced both sides and with her centre of gravity low down. But then we wouldn't have had the arcing departure
