Retired American Olympic gold medal sprinter Michael Johnson accidentally abandoned ship when he fell off the back of the Team Oracle USA sailboat during the America's Cup fleet racing finale on Sunday in San Francisco Bay.
Johnson was aboard as a guest crew member but fell into the water as he lost his footing while crossing the rigging in the back of the boat during the race.
Fortunately Johnson was OK as he was wearing a life jacket and picked up by the team chase boat.
