why was the video removed? i think it would be good to see how the rollbars work when they are called upon to work.

PUT IT BACK UP!!!!

Why was it removed? I wanna see! If it's to "nasty" for you, just simply don't play the video more than that one time you watched it. Drama queens....

It's not even nasty. Just a few pics of an upside down s2000 sitting on the roll bars plus a video of the crash. Everyone was OK. Maybe it was removed for insurance reasons or legal reasons?

I didn't remove it, but I would have. We received a Reported Email about this, requesting that the thread itself be removed, but I guess that the video was the object in question. The Email stated that there were legal issues pending. That's all I know.

I saw it and what you see is not that bad. Shot from car behind and going into turn rear starts to slid out. Looks like he did not turn front tires out to compensate and keep line of curve. Then as he starts to side off road camera tilts into passenger compartment and a couple of expletives and that is it. Camera operator must have lowered camera to look for themselves. You do not see car heading down embankment or flipping.

I've seen the video too. Looks like the guy let off the gas mid-turn to me. The car made the most terrifying sound as it crashed. Made my heart stop. Glad nobody was hurt.
