This is a terrible accident to the off-road community. It is so sad. I go to baja races each year and it is amazing watching people try to touch a truck that is going 100+MPH by them.
I get nervous sitting back off the course from the sound and the driver being on the verge of driving out of control..

the video said the driver had to run away as the spectators were chasing him because he crashed into them. wtf.

I bet it was very bloody and gory at the scene. It's terrible to hear, and also reminds of the videos I watched during Driver's Ed.

Everyone is acting like this is something new. it is a shame but people need to realize you really are in danger of getting killed but thats why people go because of that chance I think.
May not want to watch this but this has been going on for years

I'd like to gather some stats on this stupid sport. Ask people why they like the sport and second why the "fuck" do you stand so close to the track!!!
Then you may get an understanding of the type of enthusiast that goes to these events.
- i know right its crazy to stand by so close to the action.. I don't get itRamanisky2
- I can tell you are not an off-road enthusiast. These people knew the risks, and they got bit by them. It's ultimately a terrible accident with no one to put all the fault on.capn_ron
- accident with no one to put all the fault on.capn_ron
- This sport should be dismantled.74LEO

There is so much randomness in this sport it is sickening.
This isn't bungy jumping where there is 2 factors you make it or you don't.
This sport is outright stupid!!!- check out luckiest guy in the world 374LEO
- So what do you want people to do? stay indoors and watch TV?capn_ron
- they could always stay indoors and play russian roulette, because this is pretty similar of a thingkona
- standing on the wrong side of hairpin curveskona
- People should be outdoors but standing around waiting to possibly get hit?74LEO
- What has the stupid spectators got to do with the sport?ribit
- loll ribit74LEO
- i do agree ribit the drivers could keep driving jsut get rid of the people on top of the fucking roads.74LEO

@ capn_ron
I know what you are trying to say but what about the driver of this truck ..what is he going to do now?... he has 8 people dead and 4 more who are severely injured. That's too much for one person to carry- I can't imagine how he feels. I do know the off-road community is 100% behind him.capn_ron

Raminsky2,
These drivers all know that they can potentially be the one to have this accident. They take the risks, just like the people who stand next to the course. It is a dangerous sport, but people like to do dangerous things, even when they know the consequences.Here is BJ Bladwin, one the best and fastest drivers, talking about the incident.

@ 74LEO,
Do you ever go outside? Cause you could get hit walking to the market.I know, not the same, but these are just people doing what they enjoy. So really who is to say whether they should or shouldn't watch or drive an off-road race vehicle?

I don't give a fuck about people who do motor sports. it shouldn't be called sport either. They're just burning oil...Fuck them and fuck their fans! They call all burn in hell...
- PEACE!oey
- hahaha, I like how you add the word peace as a note to your post. good work.capn_ron
- oye!!Ramanisky2

^goodness you sound like a jackass... I think the motorsports crowd is such a tiny segment of oil consumption it's not even on the map. I also think the machinery is pretty fascinating... Maybe this one is a little close to home for me but I hope you're joking oey...

Tragedy can strike anywhere. To knock one sport is kind of insane. How many people have died at music events? Soccer games? It basically boils down to really, really, really poor planning on the part of the event coordinators.. and of course, the stupidity of spectators.
Honestly I can't believe how close people were standing to those trucks. It's a shame.
- More people died at that rave in Germany a few weeks back.Frosty_spl

unfortunately, safe viewing distance is one thing that you'll never get from the spectators in Mexico. But it's been this way for decades and i don't see it changing because of this. I just see racing in the states being more difficult.
