too much trim

Shootout run, straight over, touched a sponson, launched again into the air, landed flat on the canopy! It was upside down probably 50-60' high before landing sideways on the canopy. Really bad crash!!! They were right side up when they finally came to rest.

just saw the wideo, they blew over ans spun it in verted like a frisbee comming down canopy first. Saw the fireboat leaving with one on a backboard in a litter. No frantic work being done so either there was no work left to be done or they are in good shape. hoping, praying for the latter.

All the best to the boys. Good luck. Keep the BS comments away.
|
Fortunately the boat flipped back upright after impact and they were able to get the drivers out

Not good.
|
Boats can be fixed/replaced. People cannot. Hopefully the co-driver had a full recovery.
|
Makes you sick to your stomach. I can only imagine what it was like to be there. Hope all pull out OK.
|
|
Holy Sh!t glad they are ok, I have never seen one fly so high and far. Scary
|
My prayers go out to Joel and Mike. They are great guys.
|
Hope everyone is ok. That was a scary thing to see.
|
Hope everyone is ok.
|
that is terrifying . . . . . . those guys are lucky and I am glad all are OK.
|
Too think we just met all these great guys at the Buffalo Poker Run. Thoughts and prayers for all involved.
|
Holy crap! Prayers for all involved.
|
Scary deal to see it in person. The boat couldn't have landed any worse on its lid. That is a testament to the canopy construction. If it survived that, it should handle Damn near anything. Prayers.

All is not ok when you ar being air lifted from the event .
Keep the prayers coming . They are really needed at this time. |
Prayers to our friends and their loved ones.
|
Pray they will both be O.K. I watched the video; amazing of the height and landing. Canopy and safety gear; well worth it!
