If an open-topped, fast skimmer goes flat out and then gets destroyed in the enemies shooting phase, can the passengers get out. My argument is that in the BRB it says if the vehicle goes flat out then the passengers cannot disembark in the movement phase. Any thoughts?

Yes, they can disembark. They would be destroyed if you had been wrecked in your own movement phase.

Q: If a transport vehicle is destroyed in a Movement
phase in which it has moved flat out, what happens to
any embarked models, as passengers may not
disembark from a vehicle that has moved flat out in
that Movement phase? (p70)
A: They are removed as casualties.

They can disembark

Thanks for the quick replies guys!

If the vehicle in question is a Wave Serpent with Vectored Engines what happens?

It instead makes a forced landing as if it had not moved that turn. Which I'm not sure what exactly that means.

Immobilized instead of Wrecked.
