Thankfully, the two individuals only sustained minor injuries, but boating enthusiasts and onlookers at Lake Havasu were horrified.

Per the Arizona Republic:

Spectators watched in horror as the speedboat lifted into the air on April 26, trying to break a speed record. The two passengers on board sustained minor injuries.

The Freedom One Racing boat was zooming at about 200 mph before going airborne, backflipping and twisting midair before crashing into the water.

The incident happened during Desert Storm Shootout, an annual event that showcases high-performance powerboats racing across Lake Havasu at breakneck speeds.
