Actually more racers get killed getting tossed out, when the boat spins or hooks. Most of the time its from a serious neck injury. We had 2 fellow racers killed this past summer out in a race on Long Island. The boat (a canopied cat) caught air and flipped. The canopy collapsed in and the force of the water rushing in killed them. The boat was doing about 120, when it went over.
