    And, yeah, goes without saying we all want safe rallys, all the time.
    I tend not to be a fan of NOT's pretty brash style. However I have to agree that, injured or not, anyone stood in that position is stupid. You don't become less stupid just because you're badly injured.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    I confess I took similar risks in the first stage of a live rally and hillclimb (and I'm sure most of you have also done it at least once) when enthusiasim is high to the sky, first car passing by, second car passing by, oh I can get a better angle of this... unfortunately the bad luck strikes when you least expect it. Let's hope the rally will continue on schedule, cause I am sure the guy would want so.

    Actually first time I agree with N.O.T. Survival of the fittest and all that stuff.

    It also bugs be that the wrc+ coverage seemingly have just been deleted, like deleting coverage removes it from history.

    Never mind 'kid'.. I just got the impression that a man of your intelligence would show some respect at a time like this.

    Now it seems promoters are flagging the videos on YouTube, and for me that cannot be good .

    For the first time ever, I have to agree. No matter how badly the spectator was hurt, he was being a complete idiot and a rallyhater for putting the sport at such risk.

    Things are simple if a spectator was hit by paddon and judging from the accident then he was plain stupid and sitting on an amazingly wrong place, if he was standing on the hill and the shockwave dropped him then its just bad luck, but if he dropped from a high place he would be ok with maybe some broken bones and it doesn;t look like that.
