Man what a coincedence - i mean really - could you imagine the chances of getting hit by a rc-car, riding your bicycle on a rc-car jump. The odds are staggering ..... I mean imagine what would of happened if she had a brain in her head....

WOW HNC, far be it for me to tell people what's funny and what's not but "She had it coming?" "Imagine if she had a brain?" Very irresponsible comments, especially coming from someone who's a mod for the forum. First off, judging by the size of the double jump and the park like setting I would bet this is a track made for bikes not RC cars. Now, lets review, the truck goes over the jump and out of her view, she probable assumes the truck has stopped or continued on. But no, the driver pulls a u-turn and heads back in the direction he just came from. The girl has no way of knowing that the truck is coming back. While the driver on the other hand has a clear view of her, all he needed to do was pay attention and look where he was going.
Yes, we are all able to have a chuckle this time but a 12 lb anything going 30 mph is very dangerous and the person driving it needs to realize the damage he/she could do by hitting someone or thing. The point I'm trying to make is be careful and use good judgement when using our trucks/cars around others and try to be good ambassadors for our hobby.:027: I hope the driver apologized because it was their fault NOT HERS.
And I would also like to add that RC vehicles do not have the right of way in a public park.
