While those people weren't incredibly smart for standing on the outside of an unprotected corner, what an idiot the driver is for driving away like nothing happened. :x

WTF?!? This shit looks scary, hope noone got hurt.

But what were those people doing there? No protection at all? :bah:

komotar 03-04-2007 12:42 PM

damn, !!!

the driver just took off?!?

people must have been seriously hurt ...

first: dumbasses... why in the world they're in that place?
When you go to a rally you park your ass where is the least possible place for a car to go. You don't stay where a car could go if the driver looses control.
second: that driver should've stopped and call for an ambulance. asshole

Hey, that was this saturady, at Brasov Rally, here in Romania. What the driver did, was intentionated, as he saw that he couldnt make the turn, so he decided to hit the sign beside the road, and reduce some of the speed. After that , he took of, to finish the stage , and tell the organisers to stop the rally. No one was seriouslly hurt, all 6 people are fine now. But that was there own fault, as it is prohibited to stay in that section of the course. This happened several times in Romanian rallyes....maybe 2 or 3 times a year, most of the videos on that page , are the accidents at our rallyes....

at the news, the marshalls said , those people were arguing with them, in order to stay in that part of the course. I'm searching now for a different shot of the accident, where you can see clearly, that the car hitt a road sign, wich reduced the impact

1. You spectate motorsport at your own risk.
2. The driver is in a race - not a "care for the spectators" event. - he crashed, and recovered and went on - correct action.

He has no reason or need to stay around and get in the way of the professional EMT's. Assuming the rally organisors had EMT's around - either way, its not the drivers job to stick around and give mouht to mouth to anyone.

here is another crash, from Raliul Clujului, and the same, no one got hurt

Couldn't have said it any better...

This is a rally, and spectator should assume there's a risk - they should've been placed there to begin with. The rally driver told the organizers about the accident at the end of the stage... and we can assume that the marshalls did the same via radio from the place of the accident. There's no reason for the driver to stop IMO.

:bah:


oooh my, where's the humanity :roll:

Still guys, let's say someone died, atleast have the decency to stop to look what the damage is.

Damn.. it's like bowling except with rally cars and people.

Glad to hear everyone is alive and well.

Holy Smokes. . . :shock:

Interesting that there was no guard rail in that section, but on the second 1/2 of the turn you could clearly see the guard rail.

LEXION 03-05-2007 03:48 PM

those are side roads, they dont have guard rails everywhere, and this is common here. I spoke with a friend who is a time judge at these rallyes, and he said this happends more often than you think, but it isint always cought on camera. At least here, last year there were 3 crashes, in wich 2 had fatalities, and in all of tha cases the fault was of the spectators who dont respect the places in wich they need to stay to be safe. In some cases, they even fought the gendarms to stay where they can see better the cars, because they were sure nothing would happen with them.... :roll:
