Unbelievable new amateur footage of Canadian Matt Campbell's crash at the seventh stage of the Dakar in Bolivia.
Thanks to modern safety standards and a car that spent so much time spinning in the air rather than hitting things, none of the three man crew was seriously hurt but, considering the crowd that was helping recover a previous wreck, a different bounce, a few meters over this way and it could have been a massacre.
Here you have the first accident that basically has the same dynamic.
ReplyDeleteAnd a few seconds latter the second happen.
Rear shock compress to max hit the bump stop hard and the reaction is the rear rise and the front of the car bite the dust and start rolling.

The driver at the end says.. Well now let's wait 11 month and half for the next Dakar.
