3:07Now PlayingTerrifying moments on Lake Havasu as the need for speed lifts a boat off the water, flipping high into the air.
The frightening scene unfolded on April 26 as the speed boat was trying to break a record.
Somehow, both racers walked away from it all, lucky to be alive.
Their 10,000-horsepower speedboat was set up for a record-breaking run when disaster struck.
We spoke to Speedboat Magazine's Ray Lee for his reaction to the crash.
He said the team was hoping to make history this weekend.
"It's a 388 skater and it's estimated at about 10,000 horsepower. So they came to Lake Havasu earlier in the week intending to break the record here for the desert storm shootout. That was their first pass of the day and when they went over, the radar picked them up at 200.1 mph," said Lee.
Fellow competitors say the men owe their lives to the people who built the vessel.
"The last thing you ever want to see is a crash and especially something as horrendous as that," said Jeff Clark, a shootout competitor.
Clark has been around boats his whole life but just started competing in speedboat shootouts over the last five years.
He says going that fast can take away a driver's ability to react.
"At that speed, it doesn't take much, you know, those tunnel holes are built to pack air so the boat rides on top of the water. You know it's like on a rail and if you pack up too much and that nose gets too high it'll just - at that speed - it'll take you airborne."
