Amazing Hydroplane Crash Video

[Still LauCo]

Detroit Gold Cup Unlimited Race

This was shot with an on-board camera. First, those unlimited hydroplanes are incredibly fast, obvioulsy. This gives you a whole new perspective!

Second, it's amazing he only broke his ankle hitting the wall that hard. the crash is around the 7 minute mark.

A frickin' hero - split second decision to sacrifice himself into a brick wall (and a bit of a whiner "my foot, oh, my foot, my foot, ohhhh."

:smt038this vid is a great shot of almost setting in the drivers seat, i really didn't think the boat performed that well--as i kept an eye on the other boats nearby-but still what a rush ! kinda like going down a superslide in a shopping cart ! i grew up in seattle area--spent many summers setting in a boat tied to log booms in the center of lake washington,waiting to see what catastrophy BILL MUNCY was going to pull off--he loved doing what he did:thumbsup::thumbsup:
