This is the moment a Gisborne couple's world title hopes came to a spectacular and fiery end.
Blake Briant and Kate Hoogerbrug were competing in the third round of the UIM world jetsprint championship at Mount Maunganui's Baypark on Friday when their boat came to grief.
Their No.52 boat barrel-rolled, then went end over end multiple times before coming to rest right way up.
The pair, much to everyone's relief, popped their heads up and were able to get out and walk away from the carnage.
