WTF??! Is this fucking serious?

I live in Transilvania too. I'd say, it's the fault of the organisers. I've been at some rally races and some drag races. You can't imagine how unthoughtful and careless the organisers are. At the first few dragraces they didn't eaven put some barriers or something between the spectators and the dragstrip. The cars were going over 130kph 2 meters from the spectators (more than 1000 of them). The event had to be closed because they couldn't get the spectators off the dragstrip. After a year now, it still isn't as it should be. Safety is the last issue they think about.

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.

Agreed

I have some friends who organise those races, and its not there fault people are morons. ok? So stop judging them, because you cant fight 3000 people who want to get hit by a tyre or something . EVRYTIME there are loads of police and jandarms, and no one can stand in front of every crap head that wants to taste the car while it passes in front of them. These are the Balkan people, instead of thinking at there lifes, they rather pick a fight with the autorities on where they shouldnt stay to watch the race. The driver didint had any fault, the organisers didint had any faults either, only the idiots that got hit. And that is what the autorities said at the news, and that is the truth

[LEXION]

that is what happened here, and in the drag races and other events like this....but only after some serious accidents....only than people take serios actions...but morons like that will live forever, and accidents like this wont stop

[TopGearNL]

For the people who are quite shocked at this, now you know why Group B was cancelled sadly, there was no crowd-control whatsoever! :shock:

And been looking at it couple of times, its their own fault, you can expect that to happen so why not look for a save spot.?

I have to agree with you. Rally races are hard to control. The only thing that can be done is to cancel the event, like James said. That would teach them. And are any smart guys between those organisers? Why don't they put some barriers (of plastic, filled with water or sand) to the dangerous places? That would reduce highly the risk of getting someone killed.
And why do I still think that the organisers are guilty? Because they want to hold a rally, they plan everything, so it's their responsability to protect poeple, eaven morons, trees, bunnies, etc. I bet if a car hits a telephone pole, the gocernement gets them to pay for it. Is a telephone pole worth more than human life (or health)?

That would be quite hard to do and expensive....and like the drag races on the Airport were, it would take a lot of time to set them up, and than clear them, and lets be frank about this....when you saw the Romanian goverment or organisers spent that much time and money on a 10 hour event?? Im a bit shocked that some of the users find this amazingly awkward....but i dont think i saw organised rallyes or races here that didint had any problems, with the crowds or cars.....i have pics from the drag races here when the 2 cars crash, a biker falls down and than its taken by ambulance, people beeing hit by cars, crowd revolt and many other ''normal'' habits....

[DI48LO]

Why do they have to organize an event if they have no founds for security? Protecting the crowd is the first issue they have to think about! No matter how much it costs, no matter how much time it takes!
You say, you didn't see events where everything worked right. Maybe in our contry. But I was at many events and shows in western countries and I haven't seen any accident. (For example, at a "rubber-burning" event which was less dagerous and it last only a few hours, not 10! they set up a 1meter tall metal barrier that rounded the whole stage) Everything was under control at the max. and it was organised as it has to be. My conclusion is, that safety is the last our government and organisers care about.
