The camera operator obviously knew about the PR, perhaps not the boat in the middle of the lake when the accident occurred?

Then the question becomes...

How many people are aware of the PR on a lake this size? How many casual boaters are aware during Desert Storm?

The why's and how's are endless. A lot less answers to this than there will be questions.

With the speeds these boats are routinely seeing maybe a heightened awareness to get the word out at the launch ramps, fuel stations, etc... may be a requirement from insurance and sanctioning bodies moving forward.

Regardless... The whole situation sucks and a lot of families are devastated. Godspeed to these men.
