Looks like someone was pushing the car too far..
Very unfortunate...
I would hate to be the family of one of the victims..
We all know it will end up in litlgation, which is not the best solution. I do think there is a certain amount of inherient risk involved in attending any sort of event. Unfortunately sometimes these risks become a a reality to the victims, and the family of the victim is enraged on behalf of a decision they didn't make.
I can really see both sides, and I do feel terrible for the deaths, I know how I would fell if it were one of my children. BUT I think this is another example of one of the current "problems with society" we are not always ready to accept responsible for our own actions and decisions..
The driver was in the wrong, that is for sure, I cannot compare his burnout to others because the video only showed his. He definately did not have complete control. The spectators also made a choice, where to stand and how close.. I would like to think that this would be a factor in the lawsuit, but it seems usually the blame will be on the guy who lost control, not the people standing too close...
There is risk in every event.
There was a bicycle ride through my small town here in Nebraska last year, some ass clown was riding across a railroad crossing and crashed, breaking his neck.. The way he landed he had a blocked airway and was only saved due to the quick reaction of the EMT's and a passerby. He sued the Railroad saying that the crossing that I ride across everyday is not safe, and won some stupid amount of money. Now really who is at fault??
Think about this next time you are at an event where you could be in a potentially dangerous position, and remind yourself of the anguish your position could cause A LOT of people.......
