This is the kind of video that makes your stomach drop before the boat ever hits the water.
A high-performance catamaran called Dirty Duck blasted through the finish line at 213 mph during Saturday’s Lake of the Ozarks Shootout, then suddenly lifted off the lake, rotated nearly vertical and crashed back down.
The footage shows just how quickly a record-setting run turned into a terrifying airborne ride:

Somehow, the boat came back down upright. Even more remarkably, both men inside the sealed cockpit survived.
KY3 reports that event organizers identified the crew as driver Adam Seraphine and throttleman Rusty Williams. Both men were hurt, but organizers said their injuries were not life-threatening.
