The owner of a sailboat gets involved in a boating race

The owner of a sailboat has demonstrated that in a war between a sail and a bridge, the latter always wins.

This video is appropriately titled “sailboat vs bridge” and it shows just that, what happens when you smash your sailboat into a mobile water bridge.

It looks as though whoever is navigating the vessel is involved in a competition and they are speeding.

Nonetheless, the other rider is careful not to strike the bridge. The sail gets snapped in two like a twig, potentially threatening the lives of those in the boat.

However, it appears that nobody was injured but this was a very close call for the passengers.

The uploader of the clip introduces himself as Fredrik Sjøblom Robertsen, and users comment that the incident has been captured on camera in Norway.
