That's pretty neat.

I wonder, what happens if one guy falls off?


Almost anything that goes wrong results in a capsize, and that is
certainly the quickest way to stop the boat.

My oldest son has a quite a bit of experience in high performance
boats like that and frankly I'm a bit envious. There are some really
spectacular capsize and pitchpole scenarios where the bow of the boat
digs into a wave at speed and the whole thing starts doing a
cartwheel.
