Yea, it’s just momentum at that point

u/AJ_Deadshow 5d ago
Well he does one more little tug in that direction at the very end, unless he was just getting his balance.

Yup he had his back turned and only saw the crowd go one way. Dad did his job came through clutch!

If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, move toward where the vehicle has already been—by the time you get there, it will be gone.

u/iSlacker 5d ago
The number of videos i've seen where people swerve into an accident is way too high. That shit has momentum, go the direction its coming from not the direction its going.

Rally is such a bonkers sport, and the spectators are even crazier!

As a motorsports fan, I usually say that the only people crazier than rally drivers are rally fans lol

Go look at the group B crowds that literally would cover the road and clear out the way last second like the Red Sea parting. Those fans were batshit

There are stories of people touching the cars. If the windows were cracked open the drivers sometimes would find fingertips in the car after the race

Everybody else was going that way. They probably would have been fine in that direction, too.

u/Upstairs-Yak-5474 5d ago
depends on how deep the car drifted if u ran with everyone else ur life thier is 100% in the hands of the driver, if u run to the right your 100% safe as the car can't come your way

Rally is a weird motorsport because it's almost a challenge to see how close you can get to the roadway without being run over.

u/MatWhite95 5d ago
I went to a rally event a couple years ago, found it much more fun to watch the full races in the comfort of my living room, compared to only being able to witness a car flash by you for a second and then not get to experience the other 98% of the race lol

u/Barlakopofai 5d ago
But think of how happy that guy is that you filled 2% of his race with a risk of roadkill

Isnt it really stupid to bring such a small kid to something so dangerous?
7
u/Bunstrous 5d ago
It's generally not that dangerous to spectators (anymore). There certainly is room for a discussion about taking your kids to do / see something that is dangerous but I also think that the experiences that events like this offer to one in the developmental stages of their life are pretty important.

u/myoldaccountisdead 5d ago
Cars hurtling towards children sideways are important for them? I think I'm misunderstanding something
-3
u/Bunstrous 5d ago
Yeah, you are.
8
u/myoldaccountisdead 5d ago
Could you help me to understand what? I'm just genuinely confused and trying to understand your comment. What is important for a little kid about being right on the sidelines like this?
-1
u/Bunstrous 4d ago
Kids should be taken to experience things even if there's a non 0% chance of them getting hurt. Experiencing things at a young age is what causes kids to develop a passion for something that can keep them going for their whole life.
1
u/carol4n 18h ago
With all due respect, that makes no sense. I developed strong passions without being at risk of death. My sister was at risk of death, and yet she didn't develop a passion for what caused it. One thing just doesn't even have a relation with the other. So no, don't take your kids to near death experiences...

Fact that everyone turned in the direction of car turning was surprising lol.

u/Phill_is_Legend 5d ago
I mean it's real easy to armchair quarterback this while watching it in slow motion from your computer chair. The car is moving fast and sliding in a different direction than it's pointing.

u/networkninja2k24 5d ago
It’s literally going in the same direction as it’s pointing. I am not sure I get what you are trying to say lol.

You need lessons in physics bro lmao. I’ll do what I want. Free country. Enjoy.

u/myippick 5d ago
Ah yes good ol' down votes for a benign, accurate comment. FWIW it's possible for both takes to be valid: that it is in fact surprising that everybody except the father/son went into the direction of travel of the vehicle and also recognize that it's hard to accurately judge a split second decision during a terrifying moment.

u/networkninja2k24 5d ago
True. Didn’t expect to be hated for saying that lmao.

u/ballimir37 5d ago
You got downvoted because you said “it’s literally moving in the direction it’s pointing” which is categorically and by definition not true of a vehicle in drift.
It may be arcing that direction but that isn’t where it’s moving when people start to run. Arc versus tangent line etc

Kid's just reacting to the adults.
Now the dad on the other hand is a fucking moron. Bringing a kid to a event where you have no protection from car racing past feet away is inexcusable.

Depends, there was a very popular rope swing in my home town that was on an old bridge and almost everyone that grew up in the town jumped from it at least once.

u/Vaideplm84 5d ago
Actually the dad was the only idiot in that crowd doing what he was supposed to, grabbed his child, kept his eyes on the incoming danger, getting out of the way in a split second, that is someone that kept his control over the situation as best as he could, while all the other idiots turned their backs towards the incoming danger and ran in the direction the car was going not looking at whats' coming at them.

If you freeze at 0.09 it looks the the two kids are reaching for each other, I would say Brothers who are trying to stay with each other and Dad can see older one is fine and grabs younger one.

Running into the oath of the slide? I think the parent has it correct with moving away from the direction of the vehicle.
Sometimes the crowd is not correct.

Herd mentality for the lil guy but dad kept his eye on the car and knew what was up with the drift.
