There are plenty of loose rocks available

Paddon is the only person that should not feel awful, the organisers and the people who stood there with him should feel awful.

Agreed, but it's human nature and despite the fact Paddon shouldn't feel awful, he will

That stupid spectator wins the 2017 Darwin award. And besides that I always thought RMC isn´t belonging to WRC. That´s my opinion. Always was.

Controlling spectators and keeping them in designated areas is really a challenge! I have been on both sides of that challenge!

Spectators shouldn't be restricted to designated areas, it spoils the sport. They should, however, be restricted to sensible areas. Sat on the stage, with no protection on the outside of an icy corner is not a sensible spot to be.

What is the status for SS2?

Same time as scheduled it seems.

Guys, my comment was based on WRC TV saying the stage was cancelled just due to a car blocking the stage...

I wouldn't worry at all mate... there is / was a lot of confusion as to what has happened exactly and I don't think anyone on here will think you said anything harsh at all... Take it easy and hopefully the guy will be ok and the rest of the rally will be safe.

Rally Radio really tip-toeing around the issue, nice to finally hear a bit of confirmation that they realise what the rumours are but have to wait for official confirmation.

Unfortunately there was a spectator sitting there...

Looking at this picture it looks like there is a spectator right after the one sitting who got hit.

Blue clothes and red hat like the one in the vid posted above - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQJ1bVgDaJk

i hope the rally is safe no matter if he is ok or not, you cannot do anything about stupidity, its the worst condition anyone can have.

Sickening accident, he's thrown against the cliff by rear of the car.

Really hope the guy is OK, but why stand there??! Horrible for everyone involved, Paddon will be feeling awful right now

Why stand there? To get good, night pictures or good video which after it's uploaded to youtube others would praise it and moan about the official videos

I don't think the car was much of trouble, more the spectator incident.
