Both of the crew were injured. One of them was in the Hospital in Miami in an induced coma. Last we heard he was stable and improving and expected to make a full recovery.
That was a different boat and accident. We are praying for the boys involved in that accident you are referring to. The X boat that flipped. The throttleman Grant Bruggemann and Driver Randy Kent walked away from. Grant actually got in a boat after this and raced.
My opinion after 60 years of running $10,000 powerboats = grey boat throttleman lifted in time & white boat didn't. Look at 4:50 video. DF Young boat started up as well.
This type of accident tends to happen often when 2 tunnel hull (catamaran) boats get too close to each other. It's seen in F1 boat racing as well. Maybe there should be a rule that you can't get too close (like within 10 feet) in offshore racing. Sure, it wouldn't be exciting but it's not worth risking racers lives, imo. Glad the throttleman and driver were ok.
The XInsurance helicopter missed filming it... You can hear the helicopter crew yelling about it. The DF Young boat almost blew over too! Look at the 4:50 mark of the video. Yikes!
Insurance ha that's a funny joke please tell me where u get insurance for that at Ms. Geico can't even get insured from geico, oh shit I'm wrong just call the General, listen I'm not about waisting stuff but take everything good off that boat and start over

Hey DF Young yall owe those guys big bucks for coming in on them like you did.
Glad everyone was ok 👍🏽
Hope they had good insurance 🌴😎👍
( 2 much…. 2 soon ?? )
Well played sir
You can hear both boats full throttle back right as they were getting light . Blow overs are scary stuff man !
Did a delivery at my job to the business that is repairing this boat in Illinois beautiful rig coolest boat I've ever seen in person
So THIS is where all my ridiculously expensive insurance premiums go !! 😂🤑😭
What a great event! Was there, after viewing the video better understanding of what happened . Thank you.
The gray boat hit him. That’s why he flipped.
Looks like HE hit the grey boat.
Great camera work from the copter
wow looks like it flipped from a wind gust you can see the other boat pitch up alot
That boat next to them almost looked like it was going to flip too, looks like the throttleman let off just in time
Jeeeez. Hope the crew recover from this one to race another day. Thoughts are with you and your families
Looks like the yellow insurance boat came in on the grey boat; hard to tell from that angle. Someone didn't hold their line trying to act cute.
Other way around. I have the gps out of the boat if you want proof.
Xinsurance was flying abit in the straight and a little loose…. Seemed like it was only a matter of time… glad they were ok.
I wonder how many documents they stuffed in the boat 😂😂😂😂👍
Boat said it’s tired of being on the water and it wants to become a jet.

* note to self ---> cant share the air ! ... GOD Bless
The camera man in the chopper had one job to do....smfh
Cats get a lot of air glad they are OK!
Blowovers like that are deadly find the video of Big Thunder Key West both died. 😞😞
At 5:40 you can see that there was contact with the boat to the right.
Hope they had good insurance!
Looks like Marc Marquez has been moonlighting with that Young boat hey?
What speed do you think they were at….??
When the boat flipped they were going around 140MPH

Then it simply won't be racing
Amzing speed bots racing hp power 😎
How fast they going
Lucky the boat didn't sink.

DF Young moved right into XI video proves it.
Good thing they had insurance
glad they were ok but this was totally their own cause - drifted into the other boat and throttle man should have lifted much sooner
Not sure of the etiquette in this sport but that nudge caused the instabiity.
Did they have a good insurance ?

Nothing a bit of JB weld wont fix
I wonder if they had insurance😁
Ouch.....
I bet it had no insurance.
🤣🤣
20 PERCENT OF BULL CRAP INTRODUCTION AND A BIG TOTAL OF NOTHING REALLY SUCKS
Hope they had insurance
pretty sure they don't insure the boats or the driver and T-man. it's just b.s. insurance.
