My deepest condolences to all their family and friends. May they RIP. Sad day for Team Victory. Aqua Mania was going slow and rolled over not going very fast and flipped!!

There was a comment from one that seen this crash, saying that this was the worst crash he`s seen in 20 years... Flipping around at 180 kph landing hard upside down is probably the worst senario in offshore, even with closed canopies.
Luckily we don`t see outcomes like this very often...

We saw the #96 Qatar barrel-rolled in a turn in Arendal (Norway) back in August. The guys were ok, but the boat did get some damage.

A really sad day for all offshore & powerboat fans and racers around the world.
