Class 1 Swedish Grand Prix 2010 Crash

You've got to see this video, especially around the 1:15 mark. Yes, the Fazza boat runs over the white boat and launches in the air.

Q posted another video on http://www.class-1.com/video.asp. Look at other pics from class-1.com, and you will see how damn lucky the Christian and Paul were (sitting inside the "ramp" in the Relekta boat).

Kind of reminds me of another scary moment in Key West around 1995 or so.

No mechanical failure, this boat has spun out a lot of times before. They changed the angle of the rudder for this event, but something else has to be done to make her better in the turns.

It's probably the fastest spin I've ever seen!

This is the old Maritimo boat... Being repaired in Norway right now.
