Talk about a close call!

Dude comes within inches of being nailed by an out of control rally car

Heh, and before the debris stops flying past him, he's got the camera up for a quick shot. Crazy Irishmen.

lol'ed on that one

I'm trying to figure out how the car missed the camera filming the camera man!?! It seems to pass right through the camera, which is eventually picked up and turned to show the wreckage!

The video guy had brains, he was standing behind a very, very solid object with the camera on top. Probably a wall like the one that saved the other photog. Car hit the wall and Rick O'Shay'd.

Yowza, that was close. And if I ever need a wall built, I'm looking up whoever put those together. I don't even think it got chipped.

Ah...that makes sense.

both camera men were fairly smart.

the photog definitely picked that spot on purpose because of the safety bit.

and is this why we dont keep children between the cones at an Auto X?

For everyone like that (smart) guy, there's about 500 dolts picnicing with no protection whatsoever.

I hope that competitive ralying survives the current economic carnage.

haha, "GET SKINNY!"

i think the camera that was filming was on the other side of the driveway barrier that the photographer was standing behind.

Wow. I'd have a stain in my shorts.

Dude no kidding. That dude's got some serious stones. There's no way I'd be up taking pictures that quick...

And notice how he got that camera up out of the way too.
