VooDoo Luck: Surviving an Offshore Race Crash
 
It wasn’t all luck that saved the lives of Tony Canale and Gary Jones last Sunday during the Super Boat International National Championships in Clearwater, Fla., it was safety equipment and personnel.

That was an incredibly violent spin.
The boat got up on its beak and did a full spin then a half spin
when theport side landed the water it displaced got
everyone on our turn boat wet.

rescue was on plane and headed to them before it was finished jumping around.

very very good rescue fast!!!

Now if we can somehow mount the capsules on Air bags or something so the hit is not so violent. It would be expensive to do I'm sure. Never the less. The capsules work!

yes they do.
along with a very serious and talented group of med safety people.
