A couple of years ago I was really into watching that whole series. It started in Australia and the boats are special made, aluminum mainly. One guy on the right has the throttle and the other guy steers. The throttle guy also point which way to go. In all the races iwatched I never saw a wreck, only a couple of mistakes in direction. Amazing.
 
That is friggen AWESOME!!! It's like a jet ski on steroids!

I like those raging water racers too! Where they take a powerboat and run it upstream in whitewater rapids. Just awe inspiring power.

I used to try to watch those weird mud bog half boat/half truck things. They were pretty nuts too.
 
Thats crazy...

I saw a wreck on sports disasters, It was either driver error or poor course design. I think when they were making a turn they caught their own wake from earlier sending it just enough out of the water to loose steering. I then went towards the bank were some spectators were sitting and landed on a lady. Somehow, she only broke her leg...

It's only my opinion, but, I think they run in cutouts(wide ditches) such as they do instead of an open body of water with markers, is only to try to prevent catching their own wake, and losing control.
It certainly must take one hell of a driver/pilot to say the least!
