Everybody knows the score when they attend a meet, whether they're racing or spectating.
My condolences to the family, but that's why there's a waiver at the gate.

No waiver...but there is a disclaimer...the first paragraph just about covers it.

All the video's I've seen of the crash were the same view, until I saw another view on the news. They showed the view from the tower, looking down the track. It showed the what happened to the wheel, after it started bouncing away. I couldn't believe how fast and how high that wheel went into the spectator areas. It was hard to tell how high it went, but it was unbelievable.

It hit the ground several times, bouncing just as high each time. It had to be going 100mph. Anyone who was in the path of that wheel was in trouble. After seeing the scene, I'm surprised only one person was killed.
