They should have had better safty barricades in place, or had the people back more. Here is the news footage of it ... http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?sec...cal&id=5555313 |

That's why I never go to events where there is horsepower and no safety precautions.I'm just glad this didn't turn out like the dragster killings a few months ago.

Ya, a full blown funny car did a burnout down a street full of people and lost it and plowed a ton of them! I think it was almost like a parade type thing. The guy was like a 20 year vet friver too, you'd think he would have know better....

I would say that the throttle stuck or he couldn't get his foot free from the peddle. That sucks!!

The monster truck accident was caused by a transmission breaking....The guy wasnt trying to ride a wheeley intentionally. They still should have had a perimeter/exclusion zone.
