Has anyone watched this vid; Powerboat hits a navigational buoy at 150 miles and hour?

It's a post on Wavetrain. http://www.wavetrain.net/news-a-views/692-speedboat-madness-powerboat-world-champion-stuart-hayim-hits-nav-buoy-at-148-mph

I've watched it a few times, and my jaw drops just as far as the first time. Nobody gets hurt so I can't help but laugh, ...nervously.

They enter a fog bank at 150 MPH. 150 miles per hour! All I can think of, last time I was in fog under power, I had to slow down to 3 knots before I could relax. 3 knots!
