There's going to be an attempt soon to break the current record of 317mph, :shock:

The inlet on that turbine is going to suck him right out of the driver seat long before he hits 450mph!

Would seem so, unless there's a canopy installed after he's tucked in. This isn't his first rodeo, so I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. :)

Oh, I’m sure there will be a cockpit cover. I was just funnin. Speed records on water are incredibly dangerous. Read up on Donald Campbell if you don’t know about him. He held records on both land and sea, but died when his boat broke up at 300 mph.
