Bad track accident

[PHOEN$X]

Ugly car-pedestrian accident at the track

Be forewarned, it made me sick to look at this...basically a race car spins out of control and hits an innocent bystander. I don't know if the victim survived or not. Please stay off the track unless you are in a car!

Thanks for the warning, but still very raw.

I dunno something about that video footage didnt look real....the runner looked like it was dubbed in and where was the blood ??

Well, I'm convinced - I'm staying behind the guard wall.

I also agree, not very three dimensional as the person gets hit.
Also, there is another runner (really jogger) in the foreground as the car rebounds off the wall. Very odd.

First rule of motorsports spectating - if your not behind the guard rail never ever turn your back on moving vehicles!!

After closer inspection, I think it's real. The driver's side door becomes dented after the spectator makes contact, and you can see his shadow on the car right before impact, too.

I think his arm came a part!!!!!

I think you are right. Looks like it was torn off.

It was a dead link when I tried it.

I've temporarily uploaded it to my site here.

That is just horrible.
I too think it is real and it does look like he lost his arm..
retching to watch; makes me sick.

Sickning...

Its good to see something like that sometime since we go to the track. Must be alert at all times near hotpit.

Regardless of whether it is real or not, it is a realistic situation.

OMG that is sick.

...hard to tell if it is real or not...you would think that you would hear a car sliding out of control towards you....the guy never looked back, even when the car was just about to hit him...I checked in slow motion. Plus, the camera would have stayed on that, and not panned back to the track if it was real. What camera man in their right mind would lose the shot of a car hitting a pedestrian just to go back to the race??
