OK, as the boat started to fill up is were I would be worried. What did he hit in the water to flip him?

I can't see the video from my work computer, but I believe this is the video where another GP quit on the course. The colour of it blended in with the water and Jimmy drove right over top of it. Jimmy was ok, the other driver Pierre Maheu was put in the hospital. I've seen pics of him at following races so believe he will recover. It was nasty.

Pierre Maheu has been recovering well, he was walking around taking in the races at St-Felicien last weekend.
