John,
I take it that this wasn't you, wrong color boat, I guess thats what happens when you ride on the ragged edge all the time, but thats what it takes to make those tunnels fly. Keep it dry side up.

As for safety when I picked up this light weight Laser for my son we also got a lifeline jacket for a steal. Hope he never has to need it but we wwill have all the equipment to be prepared.

That is mein my last boat. Even when I test at lower speeds I ware the air system, helmet, and life jacket. You never now when something might happen. I usualy end up going faster than I originally planed. In the picture above, I was testing cowling strength.

John,

Even with the air system, helmet, and life jacket you'd be S.O.L. without a rescue boat standing by.

Did you even have time to say " Oh ****! " ?

BTW How did the cowling test turn out?

Hey Tony whats up. The crash was during a race so the rescue boat was there luckily. That brings up an interesting point, more people are killed and hurt badly while testing because they do it with out a chase boat, not a good idea.
