This is a textbook opportunity for improvements. For starters, how about better holding devices for the scuba tank. That alone, flying around could have killed the passengers. And how about already have the regulator attached to your vest at all times while in the seat. It didn't look like either passenger went calmly for the air. The feeling of drowning is very powerful and can wash away logical thought.
Now i see why some competitors have difficulties getting out. Worse if their limbs got injured it would be difficult to pull ur self out and remove the sit belt or harness. If u dont got killed first by flying scuba tank. Sorry for my English ✌️
What an incredible throttle man! He literally pushed the driver out first to make sure he was OK before he egressed. Whoever you are you’re awesome dude!
Steve Johnson that’s why every year teams that run canopy boats have to go through what’s a dunker test. So they can know and practice how to react upside down in the water.
if you play it in slow-mo you can literally see it get cut open probably from him making it go in a werid position when they first hit the water upside-down.
at the 1:00 point, is the cabin breached and full of water or is it a weird camera effect? I can see you're wet, but later in the video I see water rush in, but man it looks like the cabin is full here at 1:00.
It's not full of water that fast. You can hear what sounds like a scuba regulator blowing, which may be the haze by the drivers foot area. Full of water around the 1:30 mark.
Those seats should have NEVER broke loose that that. Whoever built that boat should be ashamed of themselves. That’s bad race boat building there. Dude got tangled up in the oxygen lines for Christ sakes. Really lucky he is still alive.
I am a little surprised, actually a lot surprised the scuba tank isnt secured, unless it somehow broke off? Gonna have to ask a friend about that who is the driver of the other boat Allen Lawncare that flipped right beside them. Wasn't the driver when this happened though.
Planes and spacecraft are put on a rotisserie before being flown to see what will move, come loose or become airborne. Systems, tools, people, all go flying when proper testing isn't done. Being inside of a rock tumbler isnt good. Putting items in the cabin that are heavy and loose is deadly. Really lucky someone wasn't knock unconscious.
Full face diving helmet from the start so even if you're trapped or unconscious it won't be instantly fatal, And with safety divers deploying from boats and helicopters you would have a decent chance of getting rescued.
@@SwampDonkey07 I live in the keys, I know how many sharks there actually are compared to how many people think. I’m also a dive guide so I dive every day with sharks...they don’t just swarm you when you start bleeding.
What the HELL!!!!!!! those safety harnesses did absolutely NO!!!!! good. all that money and y’all were flopping around like a fish out of water. But hope your ok. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Daniel Hughes actually they all did their job except for the center one between our legs. It was hooked to the seat instead of the bottom of the boat causing the seats to rip out.
Watching that, if I was racing those boats I’d have a better bracket holding the scuba tank to the chassis, the air on; and I’d have the regulator clipped to my life vest right next to my mouth.
I dont get why there are still people trying to defeat the laws of physics. Its not gonna work. These boats are just made to crash like this and nothing else. But at least this crew survived.
A scratch over a million dollar race boat the hours that go into building said boat then to have Napoleon syndrome not competition destroyed the vessel is BS

How about properly securing the seats for starts lol
They think they know it all there's no helping these people
Excellent commentary from the couch. We’ll ring you on the next build for technical oversight
What an incredible throttle man! He literally pushed the driver out first to make sure he was OK before he egressed. Whoever you are you’re awesome dude!
Throttle man is the boat owner /Owner of the boat sponsor LPC his construction company.
All things considered, that went incredibly smooth. Lots of areas to learn from, but it almost looked well rehearsed.
Steve Johnson that’s why every year teams that run canopy boats have to go through what’s a dunker test. So they can know and practice how to react upside down in the water.
That dude‘s leg instantly started bleeding.

@@synaz1263i think he hit it on like the bottom of the dash or something
Que the jaws misic.
Holy crap! Seats broke loose, air bottle broke loose.... That could have been a LOT worse.
I’m glad they didn’t panic and stayed calm , feeling like you’re drowning after heavy hit is one of the most overwhelming feelings
We were there on the turn 3 boat with the boats coming at us , glad everyone was safe . We'll be there next year!!!
Damn I was there watching it, got pictures of you being towed in. Just happy you guys are ok.
at the 1:00 point, is the cabin breached and full of water or is it a weird camera effect? I can see you're wet, but later in the video I see water rush in, but man it looks like the cabin is full here at 1:00.
In any case, I'm glad you guys are safe, that was some incredible force you took, no doubt the seats failed.
It's not full of water that fast. You can hear what sounds like a scuba regulator blowing, which may be the haze by the drivers foot area. Full of water around the 1:30 mark.
The camera was upside down and it was water dripping from above that look like bubbles rising to the surface
0:54 holy crap this leg looks like it just go a red paint-gob line
I never heard afterward who was at fault s-17 or s-27, anyone know?
the fact that you caught the other boat flipping is crazy too
Those seats should have NEVER broke loose that that. Whoever built that boat should be ashamed of themselves. That’s bad race boat building there. Dude got tangled up in the oxygen lines for Christ sakes. Really lucky he is still alive.
Taking into account the potential for a violent crash, why is there a pole in the middle of the cockpit to smash into.
I think it is a canopy support. Remove that and they’d probably be dead.
Pad it...
Hope they change some safety regs. after seeing this video
What are the safety regs that should change? Legit asking, not UA-cam trolling. The tie downs on the tanks and stuff?
@@commanderrussels2612 yes, no padding on the center bar. Loose air tank. Im sure theres alot more too.
@@simracer52 Thanks. Why are these things always flipping over?
@@commanderrussels2612 because they weigh nothing and are going 100+ lol
When in offshore racing did it become okay to bump each other to run right on top of each other I don't understand the way you guys race anymore
Think they both flipped at the same time which made it look that way. ua-cam.com/video/b3vdXLclQoc/v-deo.html
For impatient folks like me, the fun starts at 00:46.
I'm glad they made it out
If you look closely you can see how holding the steering wheel doesn't do much. You always want to brace yourself against the ceiling.

Good Lord that was scary!!!
Was at the race when this happened scary sight to see but even worse to see the Cockpit footage.
Why these guys don't wear Hans Devices is beyond me
all racing should be mandatory
And that unpadded bar down the middle. And that loose air tank. Somebody needs to take a look at motorsport safety regs.
Yep. I worked in auto racing at the highest level for years. This is so bad
Have you ever seen a wall at a boat race?
Kevin Farrell Really? This video clearly shows that water is as violent as a wall. It’s just a matter of time...
I wonder how that scuba tank tasted?
Boat next to them flipped also. That's a hell of a hard hit to break the seats loose.
What the heck?? That oxygen tank is loose in the cabin??
"Ugh, put your seat belt back on...please sir, don't open the door...no...no...NO!" WHAT THE FK, WHAT THE FK...FK!!!
Throttle Man knew it was comin.......
Why ???
Glad they made it out! Wow
Man That's Scary...
sinking like a rock
Need to secure the wiring or make it break away
damn...violent hit ! Seems like the harnesses should have held them better and that tank flying around... wow. Glad , all are okay.
c warner our seats ripped out, D rings held the harness to the bulkhead
@@lorenpeters6823 , I thought that at first but that is pretty uncommon....shows how hard of a hit. Glad you guys are okay.

Here's the companion clip to this one if you want to see what it looked like from the outside: ua-cam.com/video/LLdMDiptS9o/v-deo.html
That unpadded vertical bar isn't a very good idea. Also looked like the seats broke away.
Thank God they were safe
And the leg bleeding underwater in the keys,not good...
Lol what?
@@eriksenactual sharks love the smell of blood🦈
@@SwampDonkey07 you know that they aren’t just gonna come running because you have a little
But of blood coming from your leg right?
@@eriksenactual there’s a lot of sharks in the keys
@@SwampDonkey07 I live in the keys, I know how many sharks there actually are compared to how many people think. I’m also a dive guide so I dive every day with sharks...they don’t just swarm you when you start bleeding.
Glad they are ok, but that's racing...
The scuba tanks need to be secured. Every crash they go flying, its going to kill somebody
R.I.P
Glad nobody was knocked unconscious otherwise this could have benn fatal
down she goes to Davey Jones’ locker 🏴☠️
What the HELL!!!!!!! those safety harnesses did absolutely NO!!!!! good. all that money and y’all were flopping around like a fish out of water. But hope your ok. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

Have the seat harnesses break away is unacceptable

Oh hell no!!
nike airs are designed to catch air
Scary shit!😨
I dont get why there are still people trying to defeat the laws of physics. Its not gonna work. These boats are just made to crash like this and nothing else. But at least this crew survived.
oh my god his legs
Wwwooww man that's some crazy shit
My leg
Out...🚤
Holy Crap!
Terrifying
esporte para suicídas
horrendous engineering
A scratch over a million dollar race boat the hours that go into building said boat then to have Napoleon syndrome not competition destroyed the vessel is BS
This is the world's dumbest racing sport.
