Glad to hear everyone is ok !!!!! What happened? Almost looked like it stuffed the front and hooked to the left or did the steering break or what?

It happened right in front of me- got 24 frames in the whole sequence, including the flip.

Big launch and then looks like a sorta stuff after a hard landing on the port corner... little trip and hard hit on the starboard,
I thought they had saved it and was turning away to the next boat in line when people started screaming...
that starboard edge must have dug in and flipped it around.
Lucky for me the camera was still in position and I just pushed the button down as I tried to re-frame the shot. Boom, 3 seconds and over- chit happens quick.

Catastrophe

Whole day seemed very well run.
Great weather
Great racing
Massive crowds


Glad these folks are OK.

Glad all were ok.

Saw him coming into the corner and then boom.....big splash and it was over. Saw them dragging it around in the inner area....look like it was going under if it being dragged around.


We were at the holiday on our balcony watching it all go down.


Jay.....after the main race, what was up with 3 people jumping out of the helos to rhe CC that was part of the safety crew?
