lol, placement is always an issue. ignorant people stand in the path a car would most likely wind up when losing control.

watch those rally races and see the crowds go flying... sometimes you just have to consider darwinism, not that you would really expect it in this case but still.

just like trolling down the freeway i always leave myself an out, because you never know when some dipshit is going to fall asleep at the wheel. on foot this is a little more difficult. jump, duck and roll!

Haha yeah up at Pikes Peak this last summer some jackass jumped out in front of a car for a picture and got drilled. Darwinism indeed.

For this particular case I disagree. Those people were lawfully standing on a side walk watching cars pull out. There wasn't any racing nor any other dangerous activity involved, that is until some douche decided to be a douche.......

i'm not defending him at all, but i simply meant that you should always be weary of what's going on and your surroundings.

even the driver was probably still in shock as it took him a while to get out and didn't offer much assistance to the hurt, as he probably had a load in his pants after maiming a kid+adult and destroyed a $150k car.

looks like he was doomed from the start...did one correction but kept in the throttle and probably when he shifted again he over-corrects and that was enough to get it squirrel again....just before he loses it you can see him flick the car in one direction and then it goes down

clutch in and counter.

even if he tapped the brakes it likely would have just spun in towards the roadside, trying to power through it was his mistake.
