As evidenced by the many other videos of this "Altvhit", there are many jackasses who have no qualms about standing right at the edge of the road or even in the middle of the fucking road while this goes on. Like el3so said, more transplantable organs for those in need.

In that regard the Saudis don't seem much different from continental European rally car fans, who crowd as close as possible to the course as possible (particularly at gnarly corners). But at least the rally car drivers are trained professionals.

.......and reinforced frames, helmets, cool harness seat belts and a dedicated "track" without school buses and I believe firing guns out the window is generally frowned on. I bet they don't have scrutineering either. L

I have to confess I thought the first video was just a tragic accident, not a game gone ridiculously wrong....I am astonished.
