So who would be at fault if this turned ugly?

[MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8JjBAzIzEc[/MEDIA]

Is it the spectators fault for putting themselves in harms way, the track crew for not moving the people back, the flag man for waiting too long to flag him, or the driver who doesn't feel the need to let out as people scramble to get out of his way?

WTF did you see the flagger just kinda sitting there like hmm maybe if i turn my head it wont happen and i wont get in trouble.... I would say they are all @ fault. There is no way anyone besides the officials and the driver should be that close to the trace the drive is a fuggin moron I guess when he sees that his truck has pulled to the left and sets his sights on the spectators he figures he can get more points if he hits them as well then dont even get me started on that retarded flagger seriously wtf

X2....but we all know common sense never prevails in a court of law.

"F*tards" I think sums it up.

That flag man aught to have a boot shoved up his ass too.

The flagger did not even try to stay in front of the truck, he did wave the flag at him, AFTER he was past him already. What can you expect, it is WV.

Well, I'd say it was the fault goes in this order...Number 1, the event organizer, letting the people that close to the track WITHOUT a barrier. Number 2 the flagger, for not stopping him a HELL of a lot sooner. Number 3, the driver for knowing he's already off the track, and should of stopped. Number 4, the people for the lack of common sense. However, if they were not told where they could or could not sit...it falls back on number 1 if someone got hurt.

Usually they're a bit more concerned about safety at Putnam Co. I'm not sure what the deal was that night, but Brian usually would've stopped short in that situation. He's broken front end parts before, and taken off to the left like that. Maybe that's what happened this time too, and he didn't realize it til it was almost too late?

Here's one where he had a ball joint come apart in the same truck.

Legend has it that they used a piece of baling wire to hold it together til he got it on a trailer.
