It doesn't happen that often but when it does it can be tragic .... this one here .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCuylpOa2IEBOTH guys got killed ! THAT crash was investigated .... supposedly they hit a small wave and caught a gust of wind at the same time....

Isn't blowing over fairly common when racing boats? I wonder if some sort of flap like the roof flaps in NASCAR would keep the front end down when it gets too high? They would have to be manually controlled. It happens very fast though. Might not have time to react. Hydroplanes have a driver controlled wing between the sponsons to control how high the boat flies. The problem is stuff happens pretty quick at 150 mph and once the air gets under the boat it rotates right now. Tenths of a second between all's well and she's junk. All it takes is a gust of wind and an ill timed bounce and it's all over. Kevin

So I could not in the video see any noticeable wave. If there was that played a part, it would have had to be perpendicular to their path, since both boats flipped at exact same time.
I am wondering could both boats being side by side caused each other to flip from their aero wake?
Anybody know the precise location, looks like its off the shoreline of "The Pier House resort" at end of Duval street.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
