I can’t imagine the g forces of that. Even with proper restraints that cannot feel good at all

Badass landing though and it was still running

The Ricky Bobby “I’m flying through the air” edit I saw was pretty good. Glad the driver and throttle man were ok, that had to hurt.

Looks drivable did he restart and finish race?

I remember when Dale flipped his car and while in ambulance looked at car and thought it was drivable. He got out of ambulance and drove his car to pit lane and they patched it up and he finished.

Like every crane collapsing, doesn't every speedboat flip?

CatFest at Lake of the Ozarks. Blame that on the throttle man, his job is to sense the lift. Same thing happened last year at Lake Havasu at the shoot out. Cockpit view, watch the throttleman lean into it.

No lie, when I was like 10 in the late 80s or so, my dad took me to a boat race on the spillway, and one of the boats did exactly that. Caught some air underneath and rose up and cartwheeled end over end a couple of times. I remember them having to put the driver in a neck brace on the water and slowly getting him out of there.

Don’t remember much else about that day but I remember how awesome I thought it was that I got to see that.

They should have airfoils to keep their nose down. Idiots.

I expected to see the brothers Langmore, Wyatt and Three throwing Ruth off the boat.
