This happened on Saturday up here. Pretty sad. It never hurts to double check before you do a stunt at a show...

Damn, that's absolutely terrible. My heart goes out for the fiance and rest of the family...can't imagine that happening.

The driver of the orange jeep must have been an idiot, seriously...but perhaps this type of stunt shouldn't be done with spectators standing so close, either. Who knows but something sure went terribly wrong.

No problem man, thanks
If I wanted to read and or hear about that morbid type of stuff, I would buy a TV or read a newspaper.

Very sad. Obviously the girl was standing way too close.

The rolled jeep is right next to the jeep it was climbing. No fault of the driver in my op. As far as the death goes.

You know even at mud runs I never stand at the end where they shoot out. There are barricades but last year a mod truck went over one. Luckily no one got hit.

Shot just look at NASCAR this year!

Spectators need to respect the machines. Or event organizers need to keep a safe distance from the events.

Reading the article agian, it appears the woman was standing on top of the white jeep that the other jeep was climbing

Just an unfortunate freak accident.
