Created by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, "A Time To Die" teaches an age-old lesson about how alcohol and boating don't mix, and can have catastrophic consequences. The film begins with two male friends, heading out to water ski on a sunny summer day. The pair consume high amounts of Budweiser beer throughout the day. At the end of the film an accident takes place costing the life of one of the boys. This film was created with the intention of showing viewers the dangers of operating machinery while under the influence, especially vehicles and boats. It is relevant to note some of the footage is considerably graphic. The film has no credit sequence per se, but seems likely to have been created by students at the University of Nebraska's Speech and Dramatic Arts Dept.
One of the boys walks from the front door of his home (:21) as his friend arrives with a car trailering a boat (:43). The boys drink and crinkle beer cans as they prepare for their water ski adventure (1:00). The blonde male prepares to water ski nearly forgetting to put on his life vest which his friend offers to him (1:51). The boat pushes off from the harbor (2:48). During the first go, the blonde male loses control and flips into the water (4:53). The second attempt ends in the same manner (5:27) as their inhibitions and hand eye coordination has been relaxed from the alcohol. While driving the speed boat, the driver drops a can of beer and seeks to fish it out from the floor of the boat (5:38). The blonde male is still in the water at this point and due to the distracted driving of his friend, the boats propeller strikes the blonde male in the neck (5:50). Footage follows of the body floating in a pool of it’s own blood (5:56). The friend frantically waves down the coast guard (6:14) as a police officer on scene radios in for assistance (6:14). Ambulance sirens wail as a stretcher is wheeled out (7:01). A close shot follows of the neck wound left from the propeller (7:21). The film then artfully switches from the friend of the killed boy mourning while standing in his boat and images from throughout the day as they had initially met up and drank throughout the adventure (8:12). He then provides a statement to the officer (8:31). The film ends with a special thanks to the Eastern Ambulance of London (8:46).

The 1970’s; when a 12 year old could drink, drive, grow a mustache and afford a new car on his allowance.
LOL! He does sound like he's 12, I wonder if his balls have dropped yet;):)?
Love it! A boat made by Chrysler, littering and a complete lack of any voice-over track! Ahhhh the 70s!
Meanwhile, off in a darkened corner, "Iron Eyes Cody" is bawling uncontrollably, to the point where he's going to need some Pedialyte or Gatorade to make up for the electrolyte loss.
complete with the pull-top tab you throw over your shoulder
Good times.
Damn hippies, with their drinking and their speedboats. Probably selling canoes to kids on street corners too.
In my day, mouldy bread and water was a banquet and 50 lashes was entertainment. I blame those new fangled video games, like Pacman.
Why is this funnier after reading your screen name? 🤭🤣
The good old days, when beer came with a pull tab.....
At least he didn’t put the tab in the beer and accidentally swallow it necessitating a trip the emergency room. That would have been an unexpected twist.
ok boomer
Kids nowadays will never know the joy of making a beer can tab chain from the Ole man's drinking. My dad was a drunk, my chain was a mile long!
@@tomlangley6236 You may have saved some people from stepping on them at the beach.
The real bummer of the day was when the speedboat driver got back to the car, the half case of Bud had been taken from the car hood.
Almost surprised to see Bud as the beer being drunk, would have expected so no name brand, after all in any film nobody ever gets stabbed with a broken Jack Daniel's bottle!
Product placement, advertising responsible drinking, so of course the largest brewer would like to get free advertising in something that will be flighted in cinemas as a free PSA advert.
This is the longest weirdest Budweiser ad I ever saw.
brought to you by the tabacco industry much?
@@MyNameIsChristBringsASword Yes, but that was pretty much in every advert then somewhere. Plus the tobacco industry would pay for about half the advertising sold in cinema, using all those artistic wide open spaces film of the treat outdoors, where you smoked to get the city feel back.
iPhone has a policy that antagonists can't be seen using their products. Dunno why, but your comment reminded me of that lol
god the title alone is just so badass it makes me want to go to film school to make an action movie about drinking on a boat
Quando uscì questo video c'erano già circa 50k caduti nel conflitto del sud est asiatico. La salute prima di tutto!
The song is "Here" by America. This is no earlier than 1972.
Buds, boats, and a breeze. Just perfect! 😆
So, drink as much as ya want.....just don’t pull a water skier, right?
Only if it's Budweiser
As an EMT, this is the ABSOLUTE worst way to move and use a stretcher. Lol
What drums say Bwhana?
Bwhana: them say drunk teen hit by boat.
How is it the guy that did all the drinking get hurt by the guy that does the least.
5:35
Well that was sobering. Don’t do drugs kids.
Next you know they'll be injecting the marijuana and listening to rock music! Lol
If your gonna do it, do it with class. At least it’s Budweiser, and not some piss like Miller/Cook’s light!
Adios amigo
Sad part is that his name wasn't "Dick."
Exactly! It was all planned in advance!
Almost looks too windy to be out on that small of a boat at the beginning.
If they made good decisions, they wouldn't be making this movie. Lol
Yup
Does it give a year for this ? I’m going with 1973-74
We didn't see a copyright notice but I think you are on target. Thanks for being a channel member.
What a buzzkill.
"Blood on the Bayou"
by who
Boats and booze don't mix.
SAUSAGE FEST! Where the hell are the full-bushed 70s babes in bikinis?
sponsored by bud
He should have been wearing a mask
Or took the vaccine
Guy looks old enough for his voice to have deepened , sounds like a girl.
Yanks again.
These two guys in this PSA film should have worn life preservers while boating. It could have saved both of their lives, especially the blonde guy who had the accident that cost him his life. 🦺🚤🏥
