Why offshore racing needs to look closely at canopy design

This is one of the scariest blowovers I have ever seen and the worst possible way to enter the water. Fortunately he walked away. http://vimeo.com/25947782

There's a gap in the video. One second there is no driver, and the next he is holding himself up on the side of the boat. Did the driver come out of the escape hatch, or did the canopy fail and he ended up in the water?
