People were killed, but I must say that their idea to stand there was extremely stupid...
Was there any safety man?

I havent been on that place, I dont know if exactly on this place was marshall or not.
I just watched a video interview with a witness who said that people did not respect warnings of route marshalls.....Quote:

In the ideal world..yes..stage should be stopped till specators leave the forbidden area.Quote:

Or should we put rally into circuits?
Tricky questions,even trickier answers....

Tragic... :(
I Belgium (certainly in Flanders) they would cancel the stage, everybody would be nagging about it, but this should be a lesson for everyone!
I definitely agree....from time to time a lesson (I mean stopping the stage) should be learned. On the other hand, not everyone follows rally regularly,so not everyone gets the info about a lesson to be learned.Quote:

But I´m not saying that there ´s no space for safety improvements, there always is.
Just returned, fortunately my field of view ended few meters before that jump...
