America's Cup holders Oracle Team USA have had a scary moment in Bermuda today while testing on the water.
Team USA were sailing alone as the America's Cup qualifying semifinals were taking place.
Tactician Tom Slingsby posted a video on Instagram of the Team USA boat crashing heavily into the
water after attempting a move while slow on speed.
"Ever wondered what it looks like when we run out of oil to control the foils?" Slingsby posted.
"We had a good crash today testing "how low can you go" in regards to hydro pressure. We found the limit."
The crash down comes two days after Team New Zealand pitch-poled into the Great Sound before capsizing in dramatic scenes before race five against BAR.
