As a rally racer and volunteer course worker, I have to disagree. 99% of the incidents happen due to dumb@ss moves by spectators like the guy in the video - standing in the road, on a blind corner, just to get a little closer to the action???? "Dude, I'm so close I can almost touch the cars!" Gotta love Darwinism in action.

maybe i wrote this wrong but i meant that people expect the action to go around them so justin my point was the same as yours and agree i bet the driver kept going and finished the race
