I thought it was unique. What I did not say is the guy was trying to
break a speed record and a second after that picture was taken he was
thrown 30 ft into the air and the boat was destroyed.

Dunno about unique, but it's certainly different.

That's not uncommon. The rule of thumb in designing speed
record craft is that it should accelerate until something
breaks. Then you shave a little off the parts that didn't break!
