    wow i just watched this... it looks to me he was trying to point her and warm her about the bumper hitting the slope on the other side and she was like "what??? turn right more??? OK!!!!" Vrooom...crash...

    i bet i wouldnt even need a spotter on this(not to be cocky but in the vid it doesnt look that bad) take the right path and it doesnt look that sketchy

    ... they are both idiots.

    this video cracks me up everytime when it goes in slow motion and you hear the screaming...lol :laugh:

    but seriously...wtf was this guy spotting her...how many people are there watching? and you are telling me this joker was the best qualified spotter? the guy can't even stand up on the slope let alone give suitable directions to the driver..:facepalm:

    what you don't see is the "spotter" running behind the crowd to quickly remove his hat and change his shirt to blend in with the other gapers..

    obviously the injury to the driver is terrible especially because it could have been avoided if someone with the slightest bit of knowledge in off-roading were guiding her down instead of the dancing gaper that directed her to her accident...

    the guy directing her i think acts like a complete fool and 1 of the 100 people watching this unfold really should have stepped in...but i get a laugh out of the event...up to when the truck hits that ledge...then it's just brutal

    Yeah, I doubt anyone here thinks the crash & burn (with injuries) is funny but I laughed my ass off the first couple times I watched this tool try to spot, if he was the best on hand makes me wonder how they made it as far as they did once off the pavement......:laugh::laugh::laugh: :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
