X40s: Extreme Danger.

Not fun for us, as we know what can happen. First these guys should wear mandatory helmet.
The Pitch, The hang, the fall, and the final blast, all had possible disastrous implications.
The X40 (a High aspect pair of rudders too) and the AC45 need more bow volume to support all that power, the latest F18s are the best examples on added error margin to reduce these kind of situations to a minimum.

The next AC is going to be spectacular, but innovations and extreme design should take account of some error margin, more with super powered Wings. The X40s dangeorus pitchs should make sailors safety a priority too.
F1 is a extreme sport but pilots are well protected.
