LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — Local police hope that a viral video showing boat passengers being thrown into one another and across the deck will help cut accidents on a Missouri lake.

Four of the seven on board were hospitalised – with some suffering broken bones – after the Lake of the Ozarks accident on August 24. The footage was uploaded to YouTube many days later.

“Unfortunately it’s the stories of the injury accidents when they get out there that people really start to pay attention.”
