He just signed up and made this post. Its probably the same guy. WTFever.

 

That's why we call 'em accidents guys...we never intend to have one...I'm sure all of us try to practice the best judgment...sometimes we don't always think it thru.

No matter the experience of a driver, they can't always anticipate it all and hence, an accident occurs...

The driver of this S2K was driving and sure...he probably thought about what _could_ happen...but never imagined it would. In the end, it all happened so fast and while some of us are "lucky" and get another chance (and learn a valuable lesson)...some don't.

Sometimes, folks misjudge their "luck" and instead of learning anything at all...they continue to push the envelope...until it's too far gone and BAM, there you go.

This news is truly unfortunate...some of you are committed to stirring the pot...is that the real message to get from this??

Understand that two people, no matter why (or how it came to be) lost their lives. As an S2000 Community, we absolutely HATE to see any one of us get hurt. From an experience of someone having their S2K keyed...to getting into a minor fender bender...to the most extreme...we stick together.

Let's not go down the path of assigning blame...it's over. Rest In Peace.

 

The only thing of any positive consequence that can result from this event is the possibility that one person (or more) touched by this accident, be it friend, distant acquaintance, television viewer, aftermath witness, or even a forum reader here, do things a bit differently when the specter of temptation casts its fleeting glimpse on them.

I am positive that the results of this event were the very LAST things the driver was worried about. It wouldn't happen, it couldn't happen, just catching up to some folks, having a bit of fun, done it a thousand times, complete and unfaltering confidence that the car (and driver) will handle whatever comes its way. Not even on the radar.

And, on all the other times, it worked out fine, thus further instilling the conviction and 'truth' of those views.

Most times, it does work out.

Most times, but not all times. Not every single time.

And it only takes once.

Enjoy the car. Respect the car.

Respect the good fortune that we all share in owning this vehicle. Driving on that first Spring day, or that day in Fall when you can see the whirlwind of leaves in your rear view and feel that last heat of summer on your skin with the top down. Smelling the transition of a season with wind on your face, or the simple joy of the streetlights reflecting off the paint on a night drive. Watching the moon and the stars.

Indeed, those lucky enough to drive this car are some of the more blessed folks on the planet.

Likely you have Maslow's hierarchy satisfied to such a degree that you are enjoying the cream of life.

Take your time!

Enjoy the essence of those moments and have a patience to distill the nuances of the joy this ride can bring.

Peace.

 

That's why most track drivers DON'T call them "accidents". We usually assume they ARE preventable.

 

... thats still while they are still called accidents...lol. even if they are preventable...only human.

 

your a douche bag. How about you guys with all your negative comments shut the hell up, or we lock this thread?

Seriously, someone died, they were young... just shut the hell up with your negative comments...

Id love to go to your funeral and say "oh he made a stupid ass mistake what an idiot" or "oh that lazy unhealthy peace of crap died of old age" etc.

Again if you have nothing nice to say, then shut the hell up

 

force/ area?

you see stunt man sleep on bed of nail all the time, next time you see them just ask them to sleep on one nail.


if they the rate of speed is the same, hitting a smaller area(a tree/pole vs a wall) will be in a whole lot of pain


neither way, there's no way to find out and what's done is done.

i hope we all be safe and have fun at the same time

 

rip.

 

Of everything said on this entire thread this is the most intelligent statement made IMO!

 

This car does seem to have more than its fair share of loss of control.

The volume of cars produced to accident ratio seems VERY high.

I wonder if this car were more widely produced, if the volume of accidents would create a blip large enough to spark third party investigation.

Like the Samurai rollovers, the SUV rollovers (tire related), the Pinto tanks, Corvair suspension, etc.
