5 US sailing team members go flying overboard as boat capsizes

A wild scene unfolded during the third fleet race of a practice day at the Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix this past Friday as members of Team USA went flying out of their boat after it capsized. As the boat reached Mark 1, the top wing of the U.S. boat was inverted, which caused it to suddenly flip over. Five of the six crew members on the boat for the U.S. team were sent overboard, though no serious injuries were sustained. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.

FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN TO RACE SAILBOAT ALONE NONSTOP AROUND WORLD HOPES TO INSPIRE OTHER GIRLS TO SAIL 'While operating the wing, I chose the wrong function on my control panel, which caused our boat to flip. It was very scary, and I’m thankful all my teammates are safe,' Diaz de Leon said, per SailGP.com. While no serious injuries occurred for the team, the United States was unable to race in Bermuda due to the significant damage their F50 took from the capsizing.
