I have seen that before. I guess its kind of hard to look both ways. Because by time you see the car its gone.

don't go on tracks. pretty good rule of thumb. I mean, this was apparently a safety crew member or something, but I was at summit point raceway this summer watching some much slower porsche cup and similar cars running, and they have a spectator area in the middle of the track. People would walk out onto the track and saunter across as the pack was approaching. They would walk along the middle of the straight just as the cars were at the beginning of the track. I saw some people look up, see the cars coming towards them, and not even walk faster. People just don't seem to realize that racers on a track aren't expecting pedestrians, and they don't realize that these guys are going at least 120 mph, which gives so much less time to react. They were closing the gap awfully fast, and the race marshalls had their hands full yelling at them.

I dunno, I think if I had to chose my death would be something like that. I always wanted to touch an F1 car...

Wow, how horrible is that? Poor guy. The race car driver must feel really bad but theres no way to avoid some guys stupidity. Why would someone run across a track when cars are going at ridiculous speeds? Your just asking for trouble.

COme on bro...lets be real. I love F1 too but I wouldn't want to become shredded by a 600hp knife with wheels. That is terrible how he becomes separated at the torso. I'd like to die of old age in one piece. Shouldn't their have been caution flag on track when it happened?
