September 22, 201015 yr Very sad. I always feel less safe with events in other countries than I do in the USA. An example is bungee jumping. I know there can be lawsuits in USA and this deters the owners from operating in an unsafe environment. When I went once to Thailand, I was shocked at the conditions of the place and refused to participate. When you are at an event like the race in the video, you assume that all things have been checked out and done by a reputable company. I am sure someone will have to pay for the problem but I am glad no one died. Watching the video, this surprised me.
September 22, 201015 yr That video is pretty shocking. OZ I agree here in the states there seems to be more accountability. However, tragedies still occur like the odd road race accident in the desert a few weeks back. All the permits were valid but sometimes one cannot take into account a greater unknown force
