My son raced buses last night as a special event at the track. The bus was supposed to tip on it's side. They do that all the time. If you watch the video you'll see it went a little farther than that. Not a good thing for a parent to watch

Man, that had to be tough to watch!  I'm assuming he's o.k.  At least it seemed to happen in slow motion.

Was he strapped in with a harness?

He is okay and was harnessed in. It sure wasn't planned that way.

What a waste, Rick could have used that bus for his motor home.

But I'm assuming no roll bar for when the roof caves in....hyper

I would like to drag race my Pete somehow. I bet my 17,000# truck would run in the 17's...thumbsup

 They are adding roll cages now. We honestly thought he was hurt or killed. Not a good feeling. It gives me the creeps everytime I watch it. I am close to my kids and this just scared the **** out of us.

Wow, I would say a bit un-nerving is right. Especially when the only real part of the bus that caved in was the very front where the driver is. Glad to hear he is all right.
