Manic Monday Videos: Powerboat racing barrel roll

Think you've got the stuff for powerboat racing? Think again. You've got to be ready for monstrous waves, flying through the air and other unexpected events — like this high-speed barrel roll.

In the video, Anton Van Heerden rolls over Patrick Lees and continues as normal. (As a side note, we love how calm the announcer is. "This is heart-stopping stuff.")

Do you think you could handle rolling, open-cockpit, over another vessel at dangerously high speeds?
