was not expecting that mental. suprised he survived, stopping dead like that from a considerable speed is usually fatal.

To be fair, there's a barrier stopping them getting there, however, the 7 or 8 guys in the background... Very slow to react.

Wouldn't be exciting if it wasn't a bit scary but I'd want the safety people working a bit faster to extinguish flames and extricate the driver.

That just looked like a load of people wondering what their jobs are.

And talking about the crowd joining in - no - last thing you need.

ian if i was on fire i wouldnt give a fuck who dragged me out the car if it was a member of the croud or a marshal.
in proper stage rallying in most cases in a bad crash its the croud who helps to get the driver/navi out in an accident as obviously u cant have marshals the full length of say a 13mile forrest stage.
anyway the marshals are just weekend warriers anyway dont get specially trained , in the way a fire man does. so theres no difference

There's a huge difference between stage rallying in single track roads in the UK and messing around in an arena with proper marshals etc in the USA.

Mental accident that. Far as I know he suffered a broken ankle & abdominal injuries.

Yeah, guys taking pics/video with the iPads look a touch out of place. I was at a rally in a forest near to where I live a few weeks back & a guy was standing there trying to take pics with his iPad. And, believe it or not, he got thick & stormed off when I took my SLR out & stood beside him!
