Those crashes look about the same as what I've seen on catamarans (Nacra F18), or on single hull dinghies with trapezes, particularly when flying a spinnaker. That being said, not sure if adding the excitement of possibly capsizing hard to a powerboat would be a huge selling point for me...

I thought the same until I started sailing a UFO. You are going way faster than any cat or dinghies. Everything happens substantially faster and the water feels like pavement when you hit.
