A couple riding a jet ski was struck by a pirate-themed boat in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, resulting in injuries to the woman.

In Balneário Camboriú, a couple riding a jet ski were involved in an accident when they were struck by a pirate-themed boat on Sunday, which was recorded on video. The incident occurred at Praia Central, where the couple was allegedly stationary in a maneuvering channel when the boat hit them. Witnesses from a nearby structure attempted to warn the boat's pilot of the jet ski's presence just before the collision took place.

Emergency services, including a motorcycle ambulance and a regular ambulance, arrived at the scene shortly after the incident around 5 PM. The female victim, 30 years old, sustained injuries, specifically a head bruise, but remained conscious and was treated on-site before being transported to a local urgent care unit.
