List of fatal accidents in motorboat racing

As motorboat racing is a dangerous sport, many individuals (including drivers, crew members, officials and spectators) have been killed in crashes related to the sport, either in a race, in qualifying, in practice or a private testing session. For example, in offshore powerboat racing, one racer dies each year from accidents. Although a push for safety in recent years has led to the decrease in deaths and serious injuries as closed cockpits, safety cells and harnesses more common in automobile racing have become more common among the top and fastest classes. ^[1]

Mike tried to let off the throttle, but it was too late as the bottom of the boat had become a wing, lifting and flipping the boat upside down, until the nose hit the water. This redirected the boat the other direction, corkscrewing due to the high speeds until it hit the water cockpit first. Both the driver and the throttleman escaped under their own abilities, but the throttleman was already injured on the scene. He would pass away the Tuesday after the race due to complications. The race was an "outlaw" race, as races to 2023 were unsanctioned. Starting in 2024, the event is an APBA/UIM sanctioned event.

Fatal Accidents during kyōtei racing

Whilst being the 2nd from last with the highest number of fatal accidents of the four parimutuel betting sports in Japan, ^{[Note 1]} 34 drivers (including one trainee) have lost their lives since the first death in 1953. This is caused by collisions with the quay or one of the competing boats. It is estimated that there is one death for every 2 years. ^[93]

Unlike most modern professional powerboat racing classes, the "C Stock" boat (as they are known in APBA competition) drivers do not use seat belts, nor do they use safety capsules as used in offshore powerboat racing or in hydroplane racing, which became prevalent after a series of early 1980's Unlimited Hydroplane fatalities.
