How could anyone be so inconsiderate, these guys go in excess of 100mph on a dirt road that twists and turns, As you could see it caused hi to roll his car. What makes people do this kind of crap?

Pretty much what he said.

If your going over 100 mph, why would you be looking at anything but the road?

People want to see others fail. Why do you think NASCAR is so popular? People go for the crashes. It gives them a good feeling.

Its one of those things, Like if somone pretends to punch you, you're GOING to flinch, wether they hit you or not. And the guy mooning him, it was pretty much "Oh look... *crash*"

i don't think it was the fact there was a guy mooning there that made him crash, rally drivers are used to people like being in the middle of the track and just getting out of the way in time, i think he just flailed and took the corner too fast.

I would have found him, and beat the smile right off his ass.

Now if it was Nascar on the other hand, that would be different...

Maybe he mistook the persons ass for a cotton candy machine and was thinking about going back when he was done?
Yeah, I'm grasping at straws here, sue me.

OT: Dude should've kept his eyes on the road, even if he thought it was a cotton candy machine. At 100mph, you can't really afford to look at some guys ass. Anyway, would he have seen it at 100mph?

Go to any NASCAR event and you'll see idiots 100x worse than this moron. Thankfully, you don't see much of this at CART/IRL & F1 events; it tends to be a little more... pleasant :)

Saying "he should have had his eyes on the road" doesn't understand the extremely distracting nature of bystanders at rally events (or pretty much anywhere, tbh).

Someone having their arse out is not something you expect to see, and your mind goes "Wait, WTF?" and distracts you, without you being able to help it, for a millisecond. Which can be all it takes to miss your line on a corner, hit a ditch or a pot-hole and flip the car.

Like people rubbernecking at car accidents, or the fact people notice a streaker at the other end of a football pitch to the ball. It's just human nature.

Now, now, people, let's all try to suppress that natural human urge to laugh quite a bit when another person gets hurt...

Sorry, but I laughed at it. It's just like that time some guy put a stop sign out on a local freeway here that's known for speeders. Tragic, but funny.
