I’m not so sure about this. If we apply the same logic to cars, it’s immediately obvious that almost everyone understands this concept quite well – jumping out of a moving car is dangerous, precisely because you’ll be moving when you hit the ground.
I think they’re underestimating how quickly the boat is moving, and how quickly you’ll slow down when you hit the water.
People understand you’d get hurt jumping out of a moving car (even still, people sometimes try it) but often underestimate the amount of force a vehicle moving at various speeds can apply. Huge difference between 30 mph and 60 mph.
