Yes, that's Russell Coutts
really flipping his catamaran, in an exhibition race on San
Francisco Bay. Oracle crew Shannon Falcone was injured, but able to walk to an ambulance to be taken for x-rays and further evaluation at the hospital. “We got caught in the pre-start
at the wrong angle and paid the price,” said Coutts, who fell
through the lower part of the front element of the wingsail. “The
boats are spectacular, hard to sail. They’re gonna test the best
sailors in the world. Luckily I had the crash helmet on.” Also see near-capsize from Day
