#VALUE!
A dramatic moment shocked the crowd at a powerboat racing event in Arizona.
During the high-speed race, as boats reached speeds of nearly 200 mph, one suddenly lost control and lifted into the air. In full daylight and under calm weather, the boat soared above the water, flipped twice, and seemed headed for disaster.
Dozens of spectators captured the frightening moment on camera. In the videos, the boat flies high in the air, and just when it looks like a tragic crash is about to happen, it hits the water and stays upright. Miraculously, both racers came out unharmed.
People watching the race were stunned. Some called it “a real miracle,” while others said they “saw death flash before their eyes.” Within hours, the dramatic videos spread across social media and gained millions of views.
Race organizers later said this kind of incident is extremely rare. They also explained that the racers were wearing top-level safety gear and special helmets, which likely saved their lives.
Experts added that racing at such high speeds can be very risky especially if there are sudden waves, strong winds, or if the boat’s balance shifts.
The racers, whose names were not made public, were checked by medical teams at the scene and found to be in perfect health. Amazingly, they said they plan to continue racing in the future.
Many who saw the video called it “the scariest and most incredible moment” they’d ever seen in boat racing.
