Crazy they both got air together- and it didn’t look like they were going that fast?

Anybody hurt?

I’ve watched a handful of different angles. Very hard to tell what happened, some speculation was they collided and lifted each other up. I couldn’t decipher that in the vids. Assuming it was a blow over from hanging it out there running loose to try and catch up, pretty crazy both boats did the same thing.

Reports say all drivers are not harmed

When you run an air entrapment hull that close to each other they will steal the air from one another and they will blow over. See this a lot in the Formula one tunnels running that close to each other.

I believe it if they say they didn’t touch but check out airpackers Instagram. It’s a front view. If they didn’t touch, they came damn close.

That will do it. And add in the compression off the side of a hull getting forced into the boat next to it. Bad ingredients.

Tons of compression in those hulls in those conditions.

Glad everyone is ok.

Good example

I hate to agree with Bully but I believe that's what happened. Thankfully the safety equipment did its job.

Where is the safety police? Why is no one saying they’d never get in one of those death trap boats?

Glad all were ok.

I hear they're going to be okay, but now hearing they did get banged up pretty good.:(

Well yeah. The boats cell is much much safer now..but there is a lot of open room for limbs to flail around and helmets to bang. I don't think drivers suits and hans devices are required (yet) in that particular class, but should be.

The fact that all are ok, is awesome. However beyond that, that was fucking awesome specially the front view!
