Hi guys, what is worse, a cable faceplant not going round a turn or a boat faceplant?

Boat. Going way faster and less upward pull to reduce the impact

Boat for sure

cable on the corner could definitely get equivalent with the boat though

cable on an obstacle could be the worst

but 100% boat catching an edge on the water hurts worse than catching an edge on cable

Cable faceplant on the corner because it's an embarrassing newbie screwup and more people are watching. Boat faceplant because they are painful, more likely to happen on a variety of tricks, and you are probably going a few mph faster. I've had a couple recent faceplants on the boat that felt like someone punching me in the side of the head. Can't remember the last painful faceplant on the cable. Now a knee to the chin... that's different.

Boat for sure. Cable smacks don't scare me at all.

They both suck.
