It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Except neither the ski-doo nor the car are amphibious, and that water is not shallow by the way. It's used by divers for practice.

Ski-doo = snow vehicle yes? Ot doesn't float.
Water depth was only pointed out because it's not stated how deep it is. So, this is no film of water they're aquaplaning on, nor does it have a "ground effect", - it is deep water. They screw up = they sink like a stone.

Ah, I always thought a Ski-doo was a JetSki. Guess that's my parent's fault.

Ok. Ski-Doo. Snowmobile. Something like this, and it doesn't float!

Ski-doo is a jet ski.  I've ridden one several times on Lake Cumberland.

Snowmobiles are actually amphibious, at least if you  got enough power: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FMO_TzqPgM

Look at the the youtube link footage. Both jeep and ski-doo will sink if they screw up. A boat will float, they will NOT.
