Those are some crazy accidents.... I would hate to be the Co-Driver. Everything is out of your hands.

One of the last ones where he slides into a tree and flips into the tree is the worst.
The aftermath is either fatal or leave you as a parapalegic (sp).

Rallies in real life are pure gamble of your own lives....

We've come a long way from the 1950's and early 60's, when drivers (and spectators) were dying left and right, but there will ALWAYS be a certain amount of risk in ANY serious motorsport. You cannot push machines to......and beyond.......their limits without potential consequences.

it's just like new driving safety stuff nowadays, airbag, curtain airbags, side airbags, stability control, etc... they are coming out with more and more new stuff, but i read that the accident or fatality rate isn't really dropping significantly coz' people constantly push the limit further
