When I was taxiing this happened with one of the guys driving a Renault Espace private hire. Same as in the video he didn't have the brains to try to stall it, just let it self destruct.

Hope you are going to give yourself an infraction for that.

I am told that it is an absolutely terrifying experience in a boat . It is however easier to deal with if you have a plan in place of how to deal with it.
Glad I have never experienced it.

Why nobody put into 5th and let the clutch out slowly, is a mystery.

That would have stopped this right in its track.

Maybe it was an auto.

Foot over the exhaust and hold it there very securely. Happen to me twice and makes for an interesting spectacle 😳
