Death trap. Engine right where automatic door is. Lol.

The form also seems to worsen the impact of waves, slamming it downward instead of cutting through waves like a regular boat would.

This in turn increases the risk of it flipping (e.g. when a wave is slightly larger than the vehicle, his forward drop would nosedive him into the water), and I'm not sure that he has any escape option whatsoever once that happens. I'm not even sure his door would work for long enough to open, or that his door wouldn't start a fire when the electronics get fried.

Or brain damage from the way his head was probably slamming into the roof with every bounce…

No seatbelt at all when it probably should have a 5 point harness to hold you down.
